Why do you feel that there are so few people with the surname Ji in today s society?

The reason is simple. Ji is a surname, not a surname. The surname represents the matrilineal bloodline, and the clan represents the position of power.

Xianqin said that the surname is not a marriage, and the family is divided into high and low. Among the 100 surnames, 411 surnames such as Zhou, Wu, Zheng, Wang, Lu, Cao, and Wei are all directly derived from the surname Ji, accounting for 82% of the total 504 surnames of the 100 surnames.

Furthermore, when it comes to surnames, we must talk about Qin Shi Huang. After Qin Shi Huang unified the world, in addition to the book and the same track, he also made a great unification. That is, the surname is one.

The nobles of the pre-Qin period had surnames and surnames. For example, the same nobles of Chu are all surnamed Mi, but only the king of Chu is Xiong, and for example, Qu Yuan, because his father was named Quyi, so Qu is the clan.

And the purpose of the unity of Qin Shi Huang's surname is to eliminate the noble label. Therefore, Qin Shi Huang was originally surnamed Ying, Zhao, and Qin (the same origin as Zhao, both of which are Zhao, but because of the fiefdom moved to Qin, Qin is also the clan of the Qin royal family). But after the unity of surnames, Qin Shi Huang's surname was Ying.

Therefore, regardless of whether Qin Shi Huang is Zhao or Qin, his father and ancestor can be called Qin Moumou, but he Qin Shi Huang is called Yingzheng.

In other words, Qin Shi Huang took Ying as his surname, and still thought that the surname was more noble than his surname. After all, only nobles had surnames in the pre-Qin period. The surname in the pre-Qin period (the latest Zhou Dynasty began, the earliest may have started in the Yanhuang period) is no longer matrilineal, the surname is the surname of the patriarchal source grandmother.

The existence of surnames in the pre-Qin period was mainly to avoid marriages with the same surname when the nobles intermarried. Therefore, the aristocratic women are all called Wen Jiang, Meng Huan, and Xia Ji. Jiang, Ying, and Ji are all surnames.

Whereas aristocratic men only call their first names, not their surnames, but they do have surnames. The only one who is called the surname is Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng.

Therefore, in the general environment of Qin Shi Huang's surname is one, and he thinks that the surname is more noble than the surname. The vast majority of people. They can only be given by their surnames.

And very few people take their surnames as their surnames. Especially the surname Ji, because it is the surname of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, the degree of suppression is even higher. The descendants of the Zhou royal family are more surnamed Zhou and Wang, and the descendants of the princely states surnamed Ji, such as Lu, Zheng, Yan, Wei, Wei, Wu, Deng, Shen, Sui, Cao and so on.

Naturally, there are more surnames such as Lu, Zheng, Yan, Wei, Wei, Wu, Deng, Shen, Sui, Cao and so on. Of course, some of the above vassal states perished before the unification of the surname of Qin Shi Huang. There are also some of the above surnames, which existed before the unity of surnames.

It can only be said that with the environment at that time. I am afraid that the only person who thinks that the surname is more noble is someone like Qin Shi Huang.

In short, there are many surnames that come from the surname Ji. But because of the demise of the vassal states and other reasons. More descendants of the surname Ji take the surname (that is, the country name, title, and title) as the surname. And no longer use the mother's surname - Ji, as the surname.

In addition, the population of the surname Ji today is 540,000, ranking 297th among the 100 family surnames, which is not a rare surname.

There are so few people with the surname Ji in today's society, first of all, we must know that Ji is a surname, not a surname, the surname represents the matrilineal bloodline, and the surname represents the position of power, more than 400 surnames are directly from the surname Ji, and later Qin Shi Huang unified the world and made the surname unified, and more descendants of the surname Ji took the surname as the surname, so there were fewer people.

Because most of the surnames Ji have become other surnames. And there is a reason for changing the surname to avoid secrecy, because Tang Xuanzong is called Li Longji.

This surname was originally an ancient royal surname, and later many people with this surname changed their surnames in order to avoid the pursuit of the court in later generations.

The first one is the surname Ji.

The surname Ji, one of the eight surnames in ancient China, the ancestor is the first ancestor of the Chinese nation - the Yellow Emperor, the Yellow Emperor because of his long residence in Ji Shui, with Ji as his surname.

The second is the surname Jiang.

The surname Jiang originated from Shennong's family, and Emperor Yan was born in Jiang Shui, because the surname of Shui was Jiang.

The surname Jiang is also one of the origins of many surnames in China today, such as the surname Lü, the surname Xie, the surname Qi, the surname Gao, the surname Lu, the surname Cui, etc. According to research, from the first generation of the monarch of Qi State, Jiang Taigong, to the present, a total of 102 surnames have been bred from the surname Jiang.

1. Originated from Jiang Taigong.

According to the statement in the "Surname Compilation", Emperor Yan was born in Jiang Naji Hunger Water, because of the family Yan, gave birth to Taigong Li Hui, sealed Qi, destroyed by Tianhe, and his descendants were scattered, and then he was surnamed Jiang, and the surname Jiang originated from Jiang Taigong Jiang Ziya Lu Shang. Jiang Taigong's surname was Jiang, Lü, and in the Warring States Period, Jiang's surname Qi Fenghuai was replaced by the surname Tian (Tian Dai Qi), and Lü Shang's descendants scattered all over the country, some of them were surnamed Lü, and some of them were surnamed Jiang.

Second, it is derived from the surname 癸.

Legend has it that people with the surname Jiang are the descendants of the Gui Nu, which is consistent with one of the surnames Yao, and the descendants of the Gui Nu are added to the female under the mother's Gui to form the surname Jiang, and the female character is added to the left of the Gui to form the surname Yao. Legend has it that Ren married a woman, and the emperor was produced, and then Wu married the emperor. The offspring born to the female queen married to the emperor is surnamed Jiang.

The surname "Ji" is one of the eight surnames in ancient times, and there are many surnames derived from the surname Ji, such as Zhou, Wu, Zhengwang, etc., according to statistics, there are 411 surnames diverged from the surname Ji, accounting for more than 80% of the surnames. So although there are not many people with the surname Ji, tracing back to the roots, everyone is a descendant of the surname Ji.

It is said that at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, a total of 71 vassal states were divided, of which 15 were brothers' countries and 40 were countries with the same surname, and the surname Ji became the national surname of the Zhou Kingdom. However, most of the royal families of these countries later changed their surnames to the names of the countries in which they lived. When the Zhou Dynasty ended, the descendants of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty also changed their surname to Zhou instead of Ji.

So the surname Ji is rare today.

Because at that time, in order to avoid some bad things from happening, people would hide their names and let themselves live in the world with a new identity.

A lot of surnames are branches of the surname Ji. du

Like Wu, Jin, Tang Zhi

Reckless or something. If you look at the history of the dao, you will understand.

The development of the surname is mainly in the Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Before the Zhou, only nobles had surnames.

Because the surname Ji is the surname of the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, it can be traced back to the emperor (Xuanyuan, surname Ji), so it was normal to have a lot at that time. Later, many of the families of the Son of Heaven were divided into various places as princes, and the sons of the princes were divided, and many descendants took the official position of fief as their surname. Therefore, in the end, only Zhou Tianzi's surname is Ji, and this is not the majority.

Later, with the decline of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the surname Ji declined even more. Therefore, it should be said that the surname Ji is a relatively primitive surname of all surnames! ~

If you are surnamed Ji, congratulations, or the direct descendant of Zhou Tianzi, hehe

Ji was originally the emperor's surname, ancient Chinese du

There is a tradition of taking the land as the surname. Some of the descendants of Emperor Dao changed their surnames, and if they returned to Chen, they changed their surnames to Chen.

When it came to the Zhou Dynasty, the surname of the Son of Heaven was the surname of the Son of Heaven Zhou Tianzi divided the princes, and the vassal states took the country as their surname, so that only the Son of Heaven or the closer princes and monarchs would have the surname Ji.

By the Spring and Autumn Period, slavery was broken, and slaves were originally nameless, because they had a certain amount of power to become a new landlord class, and the original slaves took their own surnames and were further diluted (like the Meiji Restoration in Japan, commoners were allowed to have surnames, so what Tanaka ah, Yamamoto ah came out).

When it came to the Warring States period, Zhou was the loser, and the original nobles surnamed Ji changed their surnames in order to take refuge, so the surname Ji became less and less.

But fundamentally speaking, everyone can say that they are descendants of the surname Ji and the surname of the Yellow Emperor.

It is true that Ji is a big surname, but at that time it was in the era of the feudal system, and they basically followed the name of the country after they arrived in the fiefdom, such as Lu, Song, etc., all of which were changed by Ji after his own feudal country.

Because many people have changed their surnames, many of the current surnames have been handed down by the ancestors of the surname Ji.

Some were given surnames, and some were sealed and changed somewhere.

In fact, more than half of the existing Chinese are from the surname Ji.

The surname Ji is one of the oldest surnames in China, and among the thousands of Chinese surnames, the surname Ji is one of the eight ancestral surnames of the Chinese nation。The clansmen surnamed Ji can be said to be the direct descendants of the Yellow Emperor. The surname has a rich history of almost 5,000 years.

The surname Ji, ** is the Yellow Emperor, the first ancestor of the Chinese nation. The Yellow Emperor, originally surnamed Gongsun, later, because he lived in Ji Shui for a long time, so he changed to Ji as the surname, called Ji Xuanyuan, because the surname Ji is the surname of the Yellow Emperor in the Yan and Huang periods, and everyone flows with Yan Huang blood, so it is the first surname in China.

According to statistics,The population of the surname Ji in the country is about 540,000, which can be said to be very rareThis also includes the surname Ji, which was changed from Han to Bai and Gege of the Manchus. There have been two major changes in the surname Ji in history, one is the destruction of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty by the Qin Dynasty, most of the surname Ji was changed to Zhou, the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid the name of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, most people changed their surname to Zhou, so the most important ** surname of Zhou is the surname Ji.

King Ji Chang of Zhou, who was the leader of the Zhou clan in the last years of the Shang Dynasty, listened to the slander of the general Chonghou Hu and imprisoned Ji Chang in the northern part of Tangyin County, Hebei Province. After returning to Qishan, Ji Chang led the Zhou people to develop production, train the army, hire talents, and unite some ethnic minority states enslaved by the Shang Dynasty to form an anti-Shang alliance to defeat Li and Chong. After Ji Chang's death, his son, Wuwang Ji Fa, destroyed the Shang Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty, making his father King Wen.

According to the calculation of dynastic time, it should be the first surname. The reason is that after the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, almost all the people surnamed Ji were forced to migrate, and most of their descendants took this sealed place as their surname. Such as Li, Wang, Zhang, Wu, Zheng, Lu, Cao, Wei and so on.

When he arrived in the Tang Dynasty, because the surname "Ji" was the same as the "Ji" of Li Longji of Tang XuanzongIn order to avoid taboos, the surname Ji was forced to be changed to the surname Zhou, thus dispersing the population with the surname Ji.

The surname Ji is the surname of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times, and the tribe of the Yellow Emperor at that time was the largest tribe in China, but later the surname Ji evolved into the surnames of Li, Wang, Zhang and so on, which are all big surnames, so the surname Ji is the first surname in China.

Because the surname Ji is the surname of the Yellow Emperor during the Yanhuang period, and everyone has Yanhuang blood, it is the first surname in China.

Because Emperor Yan and the emperor at that time were both surnamed this, and now people are flowing with their blood, so he is the number one surname in China.

Because the surname Ji is a descendant of Emperor Yan Huangdi, the time and culture are relatively long-lasting, so Ji is the first surname in China.

The people of the surname Ji can be said to be the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and this surname has a long history of nearly 5,000 years.

The surname does not refer to the surname with the most population, the surname Ji has a long history, which can be traced back to the Yanhuang period, so it belongs to the surname.

It appeared a long time ago, and the surname has a long history. It can even be traced back to the period of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor.

Because the surname Ji is the surname of the Chinese royal family, and the surname Ji is the surname of the emperor in the Yanhuang period.

Hello Ji surname is one of the oldest surnames in China. In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor was a famous clan leader, and his tribe worshipped the dragon totem. According to legend, the Yellow Emperor was born by a river called Ji, so the Yellow Emperor was surnamed Ji.

The nobles of the Zhou Dynasty are the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and Hou Ji is meritorious, and Yao gives the ancestral surname Ji, so King Wen of Zhou is also called Ji Chang. King Wu of Zhou is called Ji Fa. And after the end of the Zhou Dynasty.

The descendants of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty took the name of the country as their surname and began to change it to the surname Zhou. Therefore, the surnames Zhou and Ji are of the same clan. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid the name of Emperor Li Longji (Ji and Ji have the same sound), he began to change his surname to Zhou.

Later, some people restored the surname Ji, so the Zhou family and the surname Ji are of the same clan.

Therefore, all Chinese with the surname Zhou are satisfied with the surname Ji.
