The origin of the surname Leng 5, the origin of the Leng family

The origin of the surname Leng is based on the "Customs and Customs" and "Family Tree", and in ancient times, there was Leng Lun, and then there was Leng Lun. and "History of the Road" cloud: Leng's family comes from the surname Ji, after Uncle Kang at the beginning of Zhou.

1. From the surname Ji.

It is a descendant of Uncle Kang, the founding monarch of the Spring and Autumn Period, and is a surname with a fief as a surname. Uncle Kang's name was sealed, and he began to be sealed in Kang, so there are also people in history who call him Uncle Kang. After Wu Geng's rebellion was rehabilitated, Zhou Guogong gave him the land of the original Shang Dynasty and established a defense of the country.

Some of Uncle Kang's descendants were sealed in Lengshui, and they used the fief as their surname, which was called Leng's.

Second, the surname is based on the profession.

With skills as the surname, it was changed by the Ling family. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor had a musician named Ling Lun, who was the inventor of ancient Chinese music. Ling Lun made two bells, so that they could match with the palace, Shang, horn, Zheng, and Yu.

After these were completed, on the day of the second month of the second month of the second month of the middle of spring, when the sun appeared in the direction of Kui, he was conducted by Ling Lun and performed a grand music and dance, which was called "Xianchi", and gave him the name and surname, called Lingshi.

Ling is also written as Ling, so the people who have been in charge of the court for generations are called "Lingren", and later became the name of the actor. The descendants of Ling Lun were called Ling Shi, and later it was written incorrectly, misrepresented as Leng and became Leng Shi.
