How to pronounce cen's surname? The origin of cen's family and the introduction of cen's surname.

Regarding the pronunciation of "Cen", people in many places pronounce "Qin Qin". If you look at ancient rhyme books, such as Ping, you will find that "Cen" is juxtaposed with these words: invading Linlin, Zhen Qinyin, Jin Yin, Chen Lin Shen, Ren Qianxin, and forbidding Shen Sen from taking part in the bath for pregnant women. The ancient sound of "cen" may sound like cin, which is a sound that modern pinyin does not have. This sound is very close to Hecen. After the Republic of China, Mandarin was standardized and unified as Cen. But people in many places still pronounce Qin Qin according to their habits.

Cen's family ranked 67th among the hundred surnames in Song Dynasty. Cen is a glorious and proud surname, especially in the Han and Tang Dynasties. The Cen family in Jiyang was the first generation, and their children were highly valued by the imperial court. Cen's family was also a noble family at that time. The spine of the Han dynasty is now the northeast of Xinye County, Henan Province. Maidong Cen's family in Miaoba, Guiding County, Guizhou Province: The generation passed down from the ancestor "Shi" who entered Guizhou is: De Deng has made great contributions to the people, Taiyong and Ankang since he started studying.

There are three main sources of Censhi:

1, from the surname Ji: after the cousin Jiqu in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, it belongs to the national surname. During the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wuwang Ji Fa named Yao Ji, the half-brother of his father (Zhou Wenwang), as Cenzi, and his cousin Jiqu as Cendi (now Hancheng, Shaanxi), thus establishing Cenguo. Its descendants take the country name as their surname, which has a long history of more than 3000 years. The origin of Cen's family can be found in Lu Chunqiu, written by the Prime Minister of Qin State. It is recorded in the book: "The half-brother Yao Zhizi Canal is named the son of Cen, and its land is also the Pavilion of Liang Guo Cen." The history book Genealogy also records that "the half-brother Yao Zhizi's canal is Cenzi ..." These two textual research texts can be said to be completely consistent in content. The only difference is that the former thinks that Cenzi was sealed by Zhou Wenwang, while the latter thinks that it was sealed by Zhou Wuwang. In Han Dynasty, the people of Cen clan were relatively concentrated in Nanyang Basin. Nanyang belonged to Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period, Rang County in the Qin Dynasty and County in the early Western Han Dynasty. It is not only the ancestral home of Cen's family, but also the birthplace of the revival of the Han family and the birthplace of the Shu and Han regimes in the Three Kingdoms, with far-reaching influence. After Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu was stationed in Xinye, and with the assistance of a group of Wu Yingxian, such as Cen Peng, established the Eastern Han regime at that time. Cen Peng was well-organized, brave and good at fighting, and was later conferred as one of the 28 generals of Yuntai. After the Han Dynasty, most people in Cen's family in China revered Cen Peng as their ancestor.

2. From Baiyue nationality: from the ancient Baiyue nationality in Qin and Han dynasties, it belongs to sinicization and changed its surname to surname. According to the history book "A Survey of Surnames", "Cen, looking out of Nanyang, there are many people in Guangdong and Vietnam." Li nationality, that is, Li nationality recorded in ancient books, is mainly distributed in Maoming area today. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the ancient residents living in western Guangdong and Yang Liang were called "Li". From the Han Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty, Li people lived there for more than 1000 years. They have made great contributions in reclaiming the land in western Guangdong, safeguarding national unity and creating the ancient civilization of the Chinese nation. With the changes of the times and the integration of nationalities, the Li nationality has long since ceased to exist, and its historical records are difficult to verify. Li nationality is a member of Baiyue nationality in ancient times, living in the south of the Yangtze River, while those living in Guangdong and Guangxi are called Nanyue (South Guangdong). The record of Li people's activities was first recorded by Ye Fan, a famous national historian in the Southern Dynasties and the Song Dynasty, in the History of Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty: "In the twelfth year of Jianwu (AD 36), Jiuzhen went on a tour outside the country, attracting people's admiration and attachment, and was named the monarch of the Han Dynasty." In the Tang Dynasty, King Zhang Huai commented on this record, saying, "Li is another name of barbarians, and now it is called Li people".

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the activities of the Li nationality were more active, and there were many records about them in the history books, which also showed the geographical scope of the Li nationality's residence. Wu Wanzhen said in Foreign Objects in Zhou Nan that Li people live in the centers of Cangwu (Wuzhou, Guangxi), Yulin (Guixian, Guangxi), Hepu (Hepu, Guangxi), Ningpu (Hengxian, Guangxi) and Gaoliang (Yangjiang, Guangdong), which are thousands of miles apart. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, some outstanding figures appeared among the Li people, who played an important role in the social and political life at that time. Among them, Mrs. Xian and her grandson Feng Ang are prominent.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the word "Li" gradually became scarce. By the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the records of Li people's activities were basically gone. The main reason for the gradual disappearance of the Li nationality is the great integration of several ethnic groups. In the long-term mixed environment with the Han nationality and other nationalities, slang people gradually accepted the advanced feudal production mode and culture of the Han nationality in the Central Plains, and many slang people intermarried with * * * *, and over time, they were no different from * * * *. A large number of Chinese slang people have been listed in the national household registration, thus losing their identity as slang people. Another reason is that it was expelled from its original place by the feudal dynasty. In the fourth year of Kaiping in Hou Liang (AD 9 10), Meng Xi, the leader of Leizhou Li nationality, and others rebelled. All factions in the Liang Dynasty knew that Sima Chenxiang had come to suppress it, and Meng Xi and others "led the masses away". From then on, there were basically no slang people on Leizhou Peninsula. Under the oppressive policy of the feudal dynasty, the slang people in western Guangdong have "moved away from home", and some of them have gone to Hainan Island to meet the slang people who used to live there. In the folk, "slang" and "Li" are homophony, and they have developed into today's Li nationality. Another part of Li people fled to Guangxi, where Li people met and developed into a branch of Zhuang people today.

In addition, there are many ethnic minorities in southern China today. For example, there is a county called Cenxi in the southwest of Cangwu County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and there is also a place called Cengong in Guizhou Province, which may be related to many local Cens.

3. From the Zhuang nationality: from the ancient Gelao nationality in the Song Dynasty, it belongs to the sinicization and changed its surname to surname. The ancient Gelao nationality, namely Zhuang nationality, is a branch of the second origin of the ancient slang people. Legend has it that the ancestors of Zhuang nationality had no surname, so the tribal leaders agreed on the surname of the tribe in a place called Jiangyan (now Qingquan Mountain in Fuyang, Zhejiang Province). Because the host tribe is the most powerful, it is pushed to be the chief leader, with "Huang" (king and emperor) as the surname, and the tribal leader who mainly raises cattle takes "Mo" (cow) as the surname; Tribal leaders who can hunt birds take Lu (big bird) as their surname, and tribal leaders who lead dogs take Ma (god dog) as their surname. At this point, the meeting ended successfully, and everyone cheered for having a surname. But Jiangyan, the tribal leader who cooked for everyone and killed cattle, saw that everyone had a surname, but he didn't get it himself. So he was furious and beat the chopping block with a knife to show his indignation. After seeing it, the host of the meeting had a brainwave and took "Cen" (chopping block) as his surname. In the end, everyone is happy. From then on, the Cen family of Zhuang nationality was born, and its people also thought it was a surname, which was passed down from generation to generation. The descendants of Cen Zhongshu recorded in ancient historical materials do not belong to this situation, but belong to the Han and Zhuang nationalities.
