Who are the ancestors of the Ma family? Where is Ma s ancestral home?

Regarding the origin of the surname Ma, all kinds of documents in China have clearly recorded. "Surname usurpation" language: "Ying surname, after Boyi, Zhao Prince Zhao Hao, Feng Ma Fujun, descendants of Yan."

Historical Records, Shiben, New Tang Dynasty Books and other monographs also elaborate in detail. After years of research, surname experts have formed a unified understanding, and they all believe that the surname of Han Ma originated from Zhao Hao, the general of Zhao State at the end of the Warring States Period.

According to the "Historical Records", Zhao Hao was the grandson of the royal family of Zhao during the Warring States Period and one of the eight generals during the reign of King Huiwen. In the twenty-ninth year of King Huiwen of Zhao (270 B.C.), the Qin State and Korea launched a war of aggression against the Zhao State, and the army reached the Yanhe (now Heshun, Shanxi). King Huiwen summoned Lian Po and Lecheng to discuss countermeasures.

They believed that the roads here were long and dangerous, and it was inconvenient to send troops to rescue them. But Zhao Hao believes that although the road is far and narrow, it is like two rats fighting in a hole, and whoever is brave will win. King Zhao Huiwen agreed with his statement, so he sent Zhao Hao to lead the army to the rescue.

On the one hand, Zhao Hao tried to confuse the Qin army, saying that he only focused on defense and did not rescue the Qin army, so that the Qin army was paralyzed, and on the other hand, he ordered the army to rush to the Qin army overnight, and at a distance of 50 miles from the Yan He, the Zhao army took advantage of the condescending advantage and attacked bravely, defeating the Qin army by tens of thousands, and Zhao Hao's army returned triumphantly. King Zhao Huiwen in order to reward Zhao luxury, given the name "Mafu Jun", the fiefdom is located in Mafu Mountain (now the Purple Mountain in the northwest of Handan City), his descendants often call themselves "Mafu", and later, gradually changed to the surname "Ma". In this way, Zhao Hao became the ancestor of the Han horse surname.

Handan's Mafu Mountain has become the place where the Han horse surname was established.

Tracing back to the roots, the Han horse surname originated from the surname Zhao, the ancestor of the Zhao family and the ancestor of Qin "Ying", both of whom are descendants of the son of the Yellow Emperor. The eleventh grandson of the ancestor Boyi had two sons, one son was named Evil Lai, who served as the king of Shang, and was killed after the Zhou Dynasty captured Chaoge, and his descendants were the faction of Qin. The other son is named Ji Sheng, and Ji Sheng's great-grandson father is unparalleled in the world because of his ability to train horses and drive, and he is even appreciated by King Mu of Zhou.

Once, King Mu of Zhou visited the West (the "Biography of Mu Tianzi" unearthed from the ancient tomb confirmed that this was indeed the case. When King Xuyan rebelled, King Mu of Zhou traveled thousands of miles a day on eight horses domesticated by his father, and rushed back to the capital in time to send troops to defeat King Xuyan. Because of his high royal driving skills, he was sealed and his territory was in Zhaocheng (now north of Hongdong County, Shanxi), and then his surname was Zhao.
