    Everyone must be familiar with Qin Shi Huang, who annexed the Six Kingdoms and ruled the world, and those who are careful will also find that Qin Shi Huang has two titles. One is called Ying Zheng, and the other is called Zhao Zheng, so the problem comes. What's going on here?

    What exactly should he be called? Don't be in a hurry, let's look down slowly. <>

    Qin Shi Huang, Zhao's surname, name Zheng. According to our current custom, a person's title is nothing more than a surname plus a first name. Then there is nothing wrong with Qin Shi Huang calling Ying Zheng, but it was not so prescribed in the pre-Qin period.

    The origin of the surname and the surname is also born of people. - Saying the text and interpreting the words

    The surname "female" and "sheng" are obtained after being split, which means that all children are conceived by women. Later, it was used to distinguish whether the offspring belonged to the same family, so as to determine whether two people could marry and have children.

    Shi", a pictograph, symbolizes the image of an object that is about to be toppled and supported by it. Therefore, it has the meaning of saving the common people and being noble, and it is used as the title of the ancient clan system.

    It can be seen that the surnames in ancient times were used separately and were different from the current surnames.

    In the pre-Qin period, surnames and surnames continued to evolve with surnames, and in the pre-Qin period, "surname" became used by women, and men were generally called "clan", but not everyone had "clan". As a symbol of identity and status, only men have "clan", while women do not; Only the noble have a "clan", and the lowly do not.

    The surname of the same family is the same, but there is no such rule for "clan", and for those who have "clan", the "clan" of the father and the son can be the same or different. <>

    Therefore, in the pre-Qin period, according to the use of surnames and surnames at that time, Qin Shi Huang should be called Zhao Zheng, not Ying Zheng.

    The surname of the Han DynastyWhen the short-lived dynasty of Great Qin was replaced by the Han Dynasty, the surname system of the Han Dynasty underwent a major change.

    Due to the peasant uprising that broke out at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the Chu-Han War before the establishment of the Han Dynasty, most people no longer know what their "surname" and "clan" are. Therefore, since the Han Dynasty, there has been no distinction between "surname" and "clan", and it was understood that "surname" was "clan", and "clan" was also "surname".

    It is precisely because of the unification of surnames in the Han Dynasty that Zhao Zheng, who was originally called Qin Shi Huang, also had an additional name of Yingzheng, and it has been well-known to people today.

    Ending: Whether it is Zhao Zheng or Ying Zheng, they actually refer to Qin Shi Huang alone, but the times are different, and the understanding and distinction of surnames are also different. It is precisely because of this that Qin Shi Huang has both the name of Zhao Zheng and the name of Ying Zheng.

    Because Qin Shi Huang was a proton in Zhao State before, he was called Zhao Zheng. In fact, the main thing is that Qin Shi Huang's father is a proton, and he is also in Zhao State. Then he married Lü Buwei's concubine.

    This is because Qin Shi Huang's surname is Win, Zhao, Mingzheng, and in ancient times, men were called surnames but not surnames, so they were called Zhao Zheng, but later people started with surnames, so they were also called Yingzheng, in the pre-Qin period, men had both surnames and names, which were influenced by the transition from primitive society to matrilineal society, and women only had surnames without names.

    Before becoming the emperor, he was called "Zhao Zheng". After Qin Shi Huang was called emperor, he called the country, so it was called "Qin Zheng". And "Ying" is his surname.

    Today's surnames were divided into surnames and surnames in the pre-Qin period. The oracle bone inscription of the word "surname" is written with a "female" on the left and a "sheng" on the right, indicating that the surname originated in a matrilineal society and is a symbol of the matrilineal ethnic group. Surnames are almost all produced before the Xia Dynasty, and most of them are taken from place names.

    People in the pre-Qin period had a surname first, and then if there was merit, the king of Zhou gave a name to the meritorious person, the surname was used to distinguish it from marriage, the man called the name, and the person with the clan was a nobleman, and when it came to the Qin Dynasty, the surname was one, and people took the surname as the surname, for example, Qin Shi Huang was the surname Ying, Zhao, and the name of Zheng, so he should be called Zhao Zheng. This is clearly recorded in many historical books, and it is completely wrong for us to call him Yingzheng. Lian Po, Ying surname, Lian family, name Po, we are right for him Lian Po.

    Jiang's surname, Lu's family, and his name is Buwei, so he is called Lu Buwei. There is also Confucius, which is the surname of the child, Kong, Mingqiu, and the word Zhongni, and it is correct for us to call him Kongqiu or Kong Zhongni. Guan Zhong, Ji surname, Guan Shi, name Yiwu, word Zhong, we call him Guan Zhong or Guan Yiwu.

    The monarchs of Qin and Zhao are all surnamed Ying, Zhao, so what should the monarchs of Qin and Zhao call Zhao, such as Zhao Si, Zhao Quliang, Zhao Ji and so on.

    Historically, the princes of the Qin State only called themselves the surname Win, and later Sima Qian believed that they were from the same origin as the Zhao State, and the first emperor was born in the Zhao State and wrote the surname Zhao. According to the pre-Qin customs, the Qin clan should be renamed the winning surname Qin after Qin Feizi established the country, but the Qin clan is still only called the surname, not the name.

    According to the relationship between Zhou Tianzi and the vassal states, the Zhou royal family has always been surnamed Ji, and there is also no clan, but the vassal states that have been divided have successively taken the surname as their surname. According to this reasoning, the Qin clan is the descendant of Fei Lian's eldest son, and belongs to the big sect, and the big sect does not need to be called the clan, only the small sect will be called the clan. Therefore, Qin Shi Huang has always been called Ying Zheng, not the so-called Zhao Zheng.

    Ying Zheng is the first emperor Qin Shi Huang in history, and many people have raised the question of Ying Zheng's surname, and everyone wants to understand what Qin Shi Huang's surname is? Ying Zheng's surname is Ying, why is it associated with the surname Zhao? Is it just because he spent time in the capital of Zhao when he was a teenager?

    Qin Shi Mingyue Yingzheng stills.

    In ancient times, surnames were two separate and non-shirt-based concepts, and the ancient nobles had surnames and names, and after the Qin Dynasty, surnames gradually became a meaning. In ancient times, surnames were divided according to blood relations, while clans were the titles of a family, which were divided according to their fiefdom or official rank. A surname is a branch of a surname, and the surname contains the surname.

    The surname Ying is one of the eight major surnames in China, and this surname also extends to 14 clans (such as 14 clans such as Xu, Jiang, Zhao, Ma, etc.).

    During the Qin period, Ying Zheng's surname was Ying, but he belonged to the Zhao family. As early as the pre-Qin period, women at that time were commensurate with their surnames, and their names were placed in front of their surnames when they were called, while their names were specifically used to address men, and men were commensurate with their names rather than their surnames, and their names should be placed in front of their names when they were called.

    But there is another version that is that after Ying Zheng arrived in Zhao State, in order to protect Ying Zheng's life and safety, after all, Qin and Zhao were hostile relations at that time, and if they wanted to live in Zhao State, they had to change their names to keep him safe, so he followed his mother's surname and called Zhao Zheng, and later changed his surname to Ying after returning to Qin.

    From the above analysis, we can see that it is very simple and clear, Ying Zheng is the surname Ying, and Ying Zheng also belongs to the Zhao family, because Zhao is a branch of the Ying surname, and the ancients often refer to it by the name, so Ying Zheng is often called Zhao Zheng, so there is a talk of the surname Zhao in the Ying family. This statement also makes Ying Zheng's surname staggered, and the clear answer here is Ying Zheng's surname Ying.

    The Zhao family (i.e., the modern Zhao surname) was differentiated and developed from the ancient Ying surname. The surname Ying originated in primitive society and is essentially the name of a tribe, which is different from the surname (surname) of the representative family in later generations. Of course, the surname and the first name also have similarities in their functions, both have the role of blood symbols, so later generations often confuse the two in their common knowledge, and completely equate the two without any distinction, in fact, the role of the surname and the first name are still different, for example, the surname is not used before the person's name, and the name is used before the person's name to indicate the origin.

    Qin Shi Huang was born in the Qin office, the ancestor of this family in the primitive society is indeed the surname Ying, but when the time came to the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Feilian family in the surname Ying evolved into the Zhao family, and the Qin family of the Qin State is a member of this family, so it is good to say that they are the surname Ying, but it is not accurate and incomplete, in the era of Qin Shi Huang's life, the society has emphasized more on the family name and not the surname of Gao, so the real name of Qin Shi Huang recorded in the official history is "Zhao Zheng". "Ying Zheng" is essentially a pseudonym produced by false rumors in later generations, which is not found in the official history, and is mostly seen in literary and artistic works.

    The Qin royal family is surnamed Qin.

    The monarch of the Qin State, surnamed Qin, was the monarch of the Qin hunger zone in pre-Qin China.

    The origin of the Ying surname Qin can be traced back to the matriarchal clan system of human primitive society, so many ancient surnames in China are buried next to the female character or at the bottom. A surname is used as a specific symbol to distinguish a clan, such as the name of a tribe or the name of a tribal leader.

    The surname Ying belongs to one of the eight ancient surnames Ji, Jiang, Yao, Ying, Ji, , and Fei. "Historical Records Volume 5: Qin Benji V": Shun gave the surname Ying. The ancestor of Qin and Ying, Boyi (Bai Ping), also known as Da Fei, was given the surname Ying by Shun because of his merits, which is the origin of the surname Ying.

    The thirteenth grandson of Boyi, who was sealed in the dog hill that is fifty miles of Qindi, was called Qin Huan, which was the ancestor of the Qin family.
