Were people with the same surname really one family five hundred years ago?

It is possible that a person with the same surname is a family, which is a very complicated situation. I encountered a situation, one is from the Northeast and the other is from Nanjing, both of whom were admitted to the same university, and by chatting with each other, I occasionally found that they were a family! It's just because the family lost touch 70 years ago.

Therefore, the possibility that a family with the same surname was a family 500 years ago is even greater, isn't it? This is because a family can produce 2,000 new families in 500 years. For example, the surname Zhao before the Song Dynasty was not the top five surnames in China, but after more than 200 years of development in the Song Dynasty, it became one of the five largest surnames in China.

Many times, in order to pull in the relationship with friends with the same surname, they will say that the previous sentence was one family five hundred years ago, but if you carefully observe the development of a surname, you will find that five hundred years is too short, and many times, a surname will have many branches at the beginning So, the statement that five hundred years ago was one is not completely accurate, of course, it is also possible, if you take this saying seriously, it was one family five hundred years ago, and what about a thousand years ago, right.

After the Han Dynasty, Chinese surnames have a more accurate history of clan records. However, these records are often supposed to be based on the family unit, so if a family is not filial piety and declines, then the origin of the family is very unclear. For example, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, his ancestor was the father.

However, his family has been more than 1,800 years away from his father, and Zhao Kuangyin himself doesn't even know who his ancestors were 200 years ago, and even less about his ancestors 500 years ago.

There are many surnames with the same surname 500 years ago, such as: Wu is divided into three Wu, the surname of Gu Yu Guoyu is changed to the surname Wu, Zhou Tai (Tai) Bo Jianguo Gou Wu Fu died as the surname Wu, and the descendants of Sun Quan of the Three Kingdoms of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty took the country as the surname Wu "There are also two Wu, Yu Wu, Tai (Tai) Bo Wu". Another example:

Zhang is divided into three (specific).

As for the surname, we just need to see whether you are a family from blood or a family from culture? In short, we are all one family in the Chinese nation, why is the same surname not a family? There was a family in 500, and it was a family 500 years ago!

Let's hope we will feel like a family for generations!

Five hundred years ago, it was said by a person in the late Qing Dynasty, which means that the two of us have the same surname may be from the Hongdong locust tree immigrants 500 years ago, because the people in the eastern region died in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty, so most of the local people are descendants of the big locust tree immigrants, and now it should be changed to say that it is a family 600 years ago.

Change your surname. Some of them were originally surnamed Zhang, but for various reasons changed their surnames to Li and waited. There are also those who change their surnames en masse. For example, some historical ethnic minorities have changed their surnames to Han Chinese.

The ancestor of the family of the great poet Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty was the general of Du Wuku in the Jin Dynasty, but Du Fu was 500 years away from Du Wuku, but Du Fu did not know who the ancestor was 300 years ago. Since the term "family with the same surname" is based on the surname, the composition of the surname is often more complicated.

Tens of millions of people with the surname Li come from the Xianbei clan, such as Li Wei, the Li Yuan family claims to be the descendants of Li Guang, but in fact, it is just a halo. Li Guang is actually dead.

The migration activities under the big locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi Province, have lasted about 50 years. Larger immigrants fought a total of 18 times. People who moved to Shanxi from all over the country before.

After the migration of the Ming Dynasty, the provinces covered more than 500 counties in 18 provinces and cities such as Beijing, Hebei and Anhui. There are more than 800 surnames, totaling about one million. That's why there was a saying 500 years ago.

No, it has been found that there may be hundreds of ** surnames in a big surname, for example, China's first surname 'Li', some are from the 'Ying' surname, some are from the 'Zhao' surname, the Tang Dynasty 'Li' surname was given to the founding fathers by Li Shimin, and even in the Later Wei Dynasty, Xianbei's compound surname was changed to 'Li'. So the surname, five hundred years ago, was not a family.

1.The statement that people with the same surname "were one family five hundred years ago" is not scientific.

2.Because it is the same surname, I thought it might have been passed down by a family a long time ago, that is, the meaning of the same ancestor, and five hundred years here is just a very long concept, not the real length of time, but from now it seems that this is not credible.

After the consultation, can you give a like, thank you, dear.

Now when everyone meets the same surname, they say that they were one family five hundred years ago, which actually has no basis, just a kind of oral language to get closer to the relationship, whether it is a family or not has to be traced back from the genealogy, but most of them are not a family.

The same surname, five hundred years ago, was really a family, because our ancestors evolved from apes.

Summary. Not necessarily. In China, the family history that has been handed down from ancient times to the present is defined as the person with the same surname except for the spouse, including the spouse of each person with the same surname in the family history. ”

Hello dear, I've been waiting for a long time, I'm glad to answer for you Does the family history have to be the same surname Not necessarily.

Not necessarily. In China, the family history that has been handed down from ancient times to the present is defined as the person with the same surname except for the spouse, including the spouse of each person with the same surname in the family history. ”

The same surname is not necessarily the same bloodline, and different surnames may share the same ancestor, which is a common phenomenon in the evolution of Chinese surnames. Although there is a tradition in China that the son follows the father's surname, even if it is the same surname and the same bloodline, from the perspective of genetics, the inheritance of the bloodline is gradually diluted.

In fact, I think this statement has no basis, and the 500 years in "500 years is a family" does not refer to the real 500 years, but a very long concept, not a real length of time. Because in ancient times, it was believed that the same surname was owned by the same ancestor, but this statement is also unscientific.

In fact, the phrase "five hundred years ago was one" appeared in writing as early as the Yuan Dynasty more than 700 years ago in China. Yuan composer Zheng Tingyu left the phrase "five hundred years ago was one" in the script "Budai Monk Ninja Character Miscellaneous Drama".

When Chinese meet, they always ask for their names, and if they find that they have the same surname, they will feel more cordial, and laughingly say that "five hundred years ago it was one".

There are also people who take the initiative to have a relationship with celebrities, such as those surnamed Kong who think that they are descendants of Confucius, those surnamed Guan who think they are descendants of Guan Yu, and those surnamed Cao who claim to be descendants of Cao Cao......

However, this statement is also not accurate. After investigation, we found that there may be hundreds of ** surnames in one big surnameFor example, the second most common surname in China, 'Li', some are from the 'Ying' surname, and some are from the 'Zhao' surname. In the Tang Dynasty, the surname 'Li' was given to the founding fathers by Li Shimin, and even in the Later Wei Dynasty, Xianbei's compound surname was changed to 'Li'.

More importantly, in the process of transmission and evolution of the surname, it will affect the purity of the "bloodline" of a surname. A large number of surnames, surnames, and surname avoidance, etc., all make it difficult to establish the statement that "500 years ago was the same".

However, although this statement is not scientific, this "five hundred years ago was a family, and when they went out, they could indeed enhance people's feelings.
