What is the surname of Confucius, the founder of Confucianism?

Confucius' surname is Zi and Shi Kong. In other words, Confucius is Confucius.

In the Zhou dynasty, people only called their surnames, not their surnames.

What is the surname of Confucius? If you say "hole", you lose.

Confucius, who has always been regarded as Confucius and Mr. Kong Lao, is actually not surnamed Kong.

"Kong" is just his surname, not his surname.

"Last name" and "Last name". "Surname" and "Surname" are originally separated.

First of all, specifically:

In the customs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, men are matched by surnames, such as King Wuling of Zhao and Qin Shihuang, all of whom take Zhao as their surnames. On TV, people in the state of Qin are called Zhao, which is not right.

At that time, only women called their surnames, but their surnames came after their names. For example, Mi Yue on TV is actually called Yue Mi. It is wrong for the king of Chu to have a TV called Mi Huai. The Chu royal family is Mi Xiong, which should be called Xiong Huai. Sometimes it's called right in TV series. For example, Qu Yuan and Qu Shi are also close surnames, and they used to be brothers and descendants of the royal family, so Qu Yuan is Mi Qu Shi, Xiong Shi is the monarch and Qu Shi is the prime minister. Actually, they are all people.

Let's talk first.

Surname and surname

Surname is actually a racial number, and surname is a branch of surname, which is unified by ancestral home and divided by descendants. "Surnames are also a symbol of family blood." In the era of Confucius, surnames were separated from surnames after Qin and Han dynasties, and surnames were combined into one.

"Qin destroyed the six countries, and the descendants should be the people, or take the country as the surname, or take the surname as the surname, or take the surname as the surname, and the surname will die ... this is the beginning. The surname and surname are also one. "

After surnames are produced and passed down from generation to generation, they generally do not change, but they are relatively stable, while surnames change with the changes of fiefs and official positions. Therefore, a person's descendants will have several surnames or two generations of different father and son surnames, which together with the person's name constitute a person's name. A person is almost free to choose what surname to take, such as surname, country name, city name, township pavilion, residence, ancestral words, official position, etc.

For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, doctors in Qi Huangong lived in East China, South China, West China and North China, so they took East China and South China as their surnames (taking their place of residence as their surnames).

For example, Zhou Pingwang's illegitimate child Lin Kai.

Its descendants were handed down by Lin.

(Take the words of ancestors as surnames)

For example, Fu Lin of the State of Jin is an infantry organization, the military commander of the third-line Bank of China is Xunyan, the son of the Bank of China, and the son of the Bank of China, Xunyan, is the surname of the Bank of China (taking the official position as the surname)

Therefore, the surname of Confucius should start from his ancestors.

The ancestors of Confucius

Confucius' ancestor was Shang Tang, the great-grandfather of the Song Dynasty and the founding monarch of the Shang Dynasty.

Shang Tang, that is, Cheng Tang, surnamed Zi, is a famous businessman named Wang Xingzi, so Confucius also surnamed Zi (so if you use the surname to address him respectfully, you can't call him "Confucius" but "Zi Zi". Of course, it's strange. After the demise of the Shang Dynasty, Confucius' ancestors were arranged to live in Shangqiu, Henan Province for several generations until the sixth generation of Confucius.

The sixth ancestor of Confucius was named Kong, Kong, Zi, Jia and Zi. The custom in the Spring and Autumn Period is to address a person by adding a word before the name.

Like Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.

If you travel through time and space to the Spring and Autumn Period,

People will call him "Xuan Debei"

Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide reached the Spring and Autumn Period.

People will call him "Yi Defei"

Konghou

The ancestors of Confucius began to take Jia, the father of Confucius, as their surname.

Put aside the surname "Zi" and everyone will be "Confucius" from now on. This is why Confucius is called Confucius.

Magical name

So is there a more magical naming method in modern times?

Malays' names are similar to those of the ancients in China, and they all take the words of their ancestors as their surnames.

Generally, they don't have a fixed surname, but only their own names. The son takes his father's name as his surname, and the father's surname is his grandfather's name, so the surnames of several generations in a family are different. In their names, the first name comes first and the last name comes last. There is a "bin" between a man's surname and his first name, and a "bin" between a woman's surname and her first name. For example, Hussein Bin Weng means Hussein is his first name, Weng is his surname, that is, his father's name, and Bin means male.

Back in China, our post-80s parents began to name various things. At the beginning of this year's freshman year, a large wave of "wonderful" names appeared.
