Can Yan and Zhuang intermarry

From the surname Zhuang, in order to avoid the name of Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Ming Dynasty, the surname was changed to Yan. According to the "Tongzhi, Clan Strategy, and Clan", in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the surname Zhuang was changed to Yan to avoid the Ming Emperor Liu Zhuang's secret. By the Wei and Jin dynasties, some of the people with the surname Yan had reverted to their original Zhuang surname.

In this way, there is a situation where the surnames Zhuang and Yan coexist in the world. Therefore, there is a saying that "Zhuang and Yanben are the same, and the same surname cannot be married".

It is estimated that LZ is the surname of Yan, and Zhuang Zheng is the same surname, which was not allowed in ancient times, and it is not clear now.

Because the surname Yan is derived from the surname Zhuang, it is said that they belong to the same family.

The surname Yan, derived from the surname Zhuang, is one of the typical surnames in southern China. In history, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, because of the avoidance of Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Ming Dynasty, his surname was changed to Yan. Feng Yan Ji is the ancestor.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, part of the Yan surname was restored to the Zhuang surname, so there is a saying of "solemn family". The population with the surname Yan is especially concentrated in Hubei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other provinces, and the population with the surname Yan in the three provinces accounts for more than half of the population with the surname Yan of the Han nationality in China.

The surname Yan is ranked 27th in "Hundred Family Names". In 2007, China's population with the surname Yan totaled more than 2.2 million, ranking 93rd in China. In 2013, through a comprehensive analysis of the "Surname Database of 100 Million People in China (2008-2010)", the Chinese Surname Source Research Center of the Chinese Fuxi Culture Research Association released the latest version of China's "100 Family Names" list, and the surname Yan ranked 94th.

"Tongzhi Clan Strategy" contains: "In the Eastern Han Dynasty, because of the Ming Emperor's name Zhuang, avoid changing Zhuang to Yan, all Yan clans in the Han Dynasty were renamed by Zhuang's family" After the Wei and Jin dynasties, there were more and more people who restored their surnames, and since then Zhuang and Yan Er's clan have been parallel in the country.

The generation is particular about avoidance, and the emperor's name cannot be used by others.

Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty was called Liu Zhuang. Therefore, since he started, people with the surname "Zhuang" cannot have the surname "Zhuang", but can only change their surname.

Even Zhuangzi in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period had to avoid it. Ancient books were all copied manually, so the scribes in the Ming Emperor period of the Eastern Han Dynasty could not write the word "Zhuang", so they changed "Zhuangzi" to "Yanzi". The book "Zhuangzi" was also changed to "Yanzi".

Therefore, I think that the surnames Zhuang and Yan came from the same family from the period of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Zhuangzi has been changed to Yanzi, so it is very likely that the surname Zhuang has changed to Yan, of course, when the Eastern Han Dynasty is destroyed, there will definitely be people who change their surname back to Zhuang. And some people have not changed, and their surname is still Yan, so they are divided into two families: "Zhuang" and "Yan".

Zhuang and Yan are the same family, and there are genealogical records.
