The first origin: it comes from the surname of Jiang, which comes from the sword of Qi Huangong in the Spring and Autumn Period, and belongs to the name of the ancestors' ornaments.
Green onion, also referred to as "green onion", is a famous ancient sword, which was worn by Jiang Xiaobai, Qi Huangong. There is a record in Xunzi's Evil Nature: "The onion of Huan Gong."
the sword, known as the ancestor of a hundred soldiers, is not only a weapon used by ancient people to attack and defend, but also a status symbol of princes, nobles and scholars, and has a quite high political status. The sword worn by emperors and kings is highly respected by their descendants and the world because it is a symbol of kingship.
among Qi Huangong's descendants, there are those who take the name of their ancestors' sword as their surnames, which are called Qingcong's. Later, it was simplified to a single surname of Qingcong's and Qingshi's, which has been passed down from generation to generation.
the second origin: it originated from the surname of Ji, from the incident of the green spirit of the doctor Yang Hu of Lu in the late Spring and Autumn Period, and belongs to the historical event.
scallion spirit, a car. In the historical book Zuo Zhuan Ding Gong Jiu Nian, it is recorded: "Yang Hu carries the spirit of onion, sleeps in it and escapes." Yang Hu, also known as Yang Huo, was born and died in an uncertain year, except that he and Confucius were both Lu people in the Spring and Autumn Period and were slightly older than Confucius. Yang Hu and Confucius look very much alike. According to the records in Historical Records Confucius Family, "Confucius-like Yang Hu". Confucius "was born with his head on the Wei Xiang" and "is nine feet long and six inches long". Anecdotal unofficial history described Confucius' physical characteristics in more detail, calling him "a bull's lips and a tiger's fist, a turtle's back on his shoulder, and a throat in Haikou, with a top door like an anti-universe".
Yang Hu and Confucius are both famous figures in the history of China. However, Confucius was praised as a "saint" by later generations, while Yang Hu was denounced as a "villain" by later generations, and he was the representative of good and evil, which formed a sharp contrast.
In the classic Liezi, Confucius' hardships in his life are summarized as four: "Poor in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, surrounded by Chen Cai, wronged by Ji's family, humiliated by Yang Hu." Among them, there are two dilemmas, that is, "surrounding Chen Cai" and "being humiliated by Yang Hu", which are directly related to Yang Hu, and the other dilemmas are also related to Yang Hu to some extent.
The incident of insulting Confucius took place in 535 BC. Legend has it that Confucius was greedy when he was young, and he especially liked to eat raw pork. Once he gets a chance to eat, he won't let it go easily. On one occasion, the Ji family of Lu hosted a banquet for scholars, and Confucius also gladly went. But when he reached the door of Ji's house, Yang Hu, who was Ji's retainer at that time, refused to let him in, and said to Confucius, "Ji's scholars don't dare to marry children." In desperation, Confucius had to return. Confucius was seventeen years old. Yang Hu's words and deeds have undoubtedly brought great harm to the young man's mind. In fact, Yang Hu can't be blamed for this matter. He just acts according to the rules of the Lord, but the word "dare" in his words of "not daring to marry a child" is really contemptuous in tone. Therefore, later generations used this as evidence that Confucius was "humiliated by a tiger". It is recorded in the ancient book "Confucius' Family Language": "Confucius has lost his mother, so he practiced hard, and he was proud of himself. He said,' Now Ji's family is full of people in the country, and his sons have heard about it?' Confucius replied:' Qiu Fu heard it. If you smell it, even though you are in decline, you still want it? " Yang Hu said,' Zi means otherwise. Ji's scholar is not as good as Zi.' "From the analysis of this passage, Yang Hu's malice is obvious, which is induced first and humiliated later. So, that's Yang Hu's fault.
The incident of teasing Confucius took place in 54 BC. With the growth of age, Confucius is becoming more and more mature, and his reputation in society is also growing. To this end, Yang Hu wanted to invite Confucius to come out and give him an official position, so as to work for Ji's family and win people's hearts. However, due to different political views, Confucius has always been invisible. In desperation, Yang Hu had to use a trick to force Confucius out. In this regard, it is recorded in the classic "The Analects of Confucius Yang Huo": "Yanghu wants to see Confucius, but Confucius doesn't see it, so it belongs to Confucius. Confucius died when he died, but when he went to worship him, he encountered all kinds of smears. Confucius said,' Come! Give your word.' Say,' Is it kind to be fascinated by its treasure?' Say,'No.' When you are eager to engage in it, you can be called Zhihu?' Say:' no'. The sun and the moon are gone, and the years are not with me.' Confucius said,' promise, I will be an official.' "From the point of view, Yang Hu's plan was successful. He was step by step, interlocking and watertight, which drove Confucius to finally have no way out and had to promise to be an official. It can be said that as a result of this battle of wits, Yang Hu won a great victory, while Confucius was defeated in a big mess, which undoubtedly deepened Confucius' ill feelings towards Yang Hu. Su Shi, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, once said, "When the Tao is greeted by a tiger, you know that it is not true, but it is not true." This refers to this matter, which is quite unfair to Confucius.
The Confucius-like event happened in 497 BC, and it is said that "surrounding Chen Cai" is due to this. Because Yang Hu looks like Confucius, Confucius almost lost his life this time. According to the historical records "Historical Records Confucius Family", Yang Hu once took his troops across the territory of Kuang people to Zheng without saying hello, thus offending Kuang people. When Confucius traveled all over the world to Kuang (that is, Chen Cai), he was mistaken by Kuang people as a yanghu, so he was detained for five days. After repeated explanations, the misunderstanding was eliminated, and Confucius "had to go". This incident of shame and indignation of the people in the mountains has always made Confucius and his disciples feel bitter, and they put all this account on Yang Hu. There are two verses in "Shade of Flowers" written in the Qing Dynasty: "I once participated in expressing my doubts about my loving mother, and Yang Hu recruited a saint especially", which can be described as a vivid portrayal of the resentment and resentment of Confucius supporters towards Yang Hu for more than 2, years.
These three events have a time span of more than 3 years, which shows that the contradiction between Yanghu and Confucius has a long history and deep grievances. Therefore, in later generations, Yang Hu was called the most hated person in Confucius' life. Judging from the historical data, those who scold Yanghu as evil began with Confucius. In 52 BC, Confucius cursed Yang Hu for "accompanying the minister to carry out the life of the country". In his later years, when he wrote Spring and Autumn Annals, he even cursed Yang Hu as a "thief", which was obviously mixed with personal prejudice to get back at Yang Hu and make him immortal.
Confucius scolded Yang Hu, some of which were obviously private and even the laughing stock of history. In 51 BC, after learning that Yang Hu had gone to Zhao Jianzi, Confucius immediately declared that "Zhao's world is in chaos!" As a result, the state of Jin was not "chaotic". On the contrary, in the case of Yang Hu's "doing good things simply and prospering the Lord", it was "almost hegemonic", so that by the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the state of Jin was the strongest, ranking first among more than 12 vassal States.
Indeed, Yang Hu did a poor job in training his master, which was a great failure in his life. But Yang Hu is a very effective doer, practicing his ideals with the sword and shadow. He didn't have time to recruit disciples, teach his thoughts systematically and cultivate his faithful followers. He only used quick methods to close some people and arrange positions, so as to strengthen and consolidate his influence in officialdom. Facts have shown that his opportunistic approach is actually a big mistake, so his disciples are just a mob with no loyalty at all. Yang Hu failed to gain a firm foothold in Lu, and was driven away after rushing to Qi. He was on the run and had almost no place to live, which had a lot to do with the betrayal of his disciples.
Yang Hu does not deny this. In the classic "Han Fei, the foreign reserve said the lower left", there is a dialogue between Yang Hu and Zhao Jianzi. "The Lord Jane asked,' I am good at cultivating people.' The tiger said,' I live in Lu, and I have three trees, all of whom are your Yin. And the tiger made amends for Lu, and all searched for the tiger. I am in the same position and recommend three people. One person is close to the king, one is a county magistrate, and one is a waiting official. And I offend, near the king, I don't see the minister, the county magistrate greets the minister and binds him, and the official chases him to the territory, but it's too late to stop. Tigers are not good at cultivating people. "It can be seen that Yang Hu's disciples are not one or two traitors, but betray him in large numbers. After that, they will not only praise him or brag about him, but also arrest him.
It is not hard to imagine that Yang Hu's mood must be extremely sad when he talks with Zhao Jianzi. Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, said: "If you use your heart as your confidant, gold will plant peaches and plums. Peach and plum have been planted for several times in spring, and once the flowers fall, they will be new. " Among them, "planting peaches and plums" uses the allusion that Yang Hu is not good at cultivating people. It can be seen that the poet is also deeply saddened by Yang Hu's experience.
Yang Hu is an outspoken person. In a sense, his personality determines that he is bound to conflict with those in power or influence, which is not allowed by the latter. Yang Hu's remarks recorded in historical materials are few, but people can still see that Yang Hu is an incisive language master. In the dialogue between Yang Hu and Confucius, Yang Hu's statement that "the sun and the moon are gone, and the years are not with me" is full of profound philosophy. Later generations' "Time is not with me" comes from his famous saying, so that some people think that Confucius later promised to be an official because he was moved by Yang Hu's statement. Confucius later said that "the deceased is like a husband, not giving up day and night" was also inspired by Yang Hu.
Yanghu has an eternal famous saying-"It's unkind to be rich; Being benevolent is not rich. " Such a profound argument in China, an authoritarian society, can't be recognized and accepted by the rich in any dynasty. Comparatively speaking, Confucius is much more implicit than Yang Hu. In his life, Confucius avoided directly talking about the relationship between "wealth" and "benevolence", but only talked about the relationship between "benefit" and "righteousness". In the face of interests, Confucius emphasized that "righteousness is the highest", and righteousness is the highest criterion of human behavior. He did not absolutely oppose "benefit" and "righteousness" to "see what is right and then take it". Therefore, Confucius' views are still acceptable to any person in power or power.
Yang Hu also has a wise saying: "The wise and wise master will do things carefully, and if he is unscrupulous, he will try it as a traitor." In this regard, Guo Moruo, a master of Chinese studies, appreciates it very much. At this point, Confucius' point of view is much more moderate. He advocates that "the so-called ministers should serve the monarch with Tao, and they should not stop." When he said "stop", he resigned or voted for another monarch. No matter how drunk and dissolute your monarch was, Confucius did not advocate overthrowing it, let alone killing it. Compared with the two, Yang Hu took the extreme, while Confucius took the "golden mean". In fact, Yang Hu did that in practice, such as "holding a prisoner and Huan Zi". His words and deeds were eventually labeled as "rebels and thieves".
Because Yang Hu's careless remarks and practices were extreme, they were not tolerated by the rulers of past dynasties. For more than 2, years, people have been cursing Yang Hu, whether by officials or by the people, and the rulers have turned a blind eye and let themselves go, which is also an important reason why Yang Hu has been cursing for more than 1, years.
In fact, Yang Hu is "brave and resourceful" and is a very great political figure in the history of China. In the feudal society of China, the rulers allowed people to abuse and vilify Yang Hu at will because many words and deeds of Yang Hu were not conducive to his rule or to the image of "benevolence".
When Yang Hu finally lost power and influence in Lu, in order to avoid the persecution of hostile forces, he hid under the bedding in an onion spirit (a covered cart) in the ninth year of Lu Dinggong (5 BC) and escaped from Lu, first to Qi, and then to Zhao Jianzi, the ruling minister of Jin, because Qi Jinggong disliked him.
The scallion spirit, a kind of hearse, has curtains on all sides, bedding on it, and a box behind it that can carry other things. It is a vehicle for ancient nobles to ride outside.
among the descendants of Yanghu, there are those who take the means of transportation by which their ancestors successfully fled as their surnames, which are called Congling's family. Later, it was simplified to a single surname of Congling's family and Lingshi's family, which has been passed down from generation to generation.
the third origin: it comes from the place name, comes from the green ridge in Dunhuang, and belongs to the name of Juyi.
Congling is fenling, also known as Cangling. It is recorded in the historical book "Notes on the History of Zhang Di in the Later Han Dynasty": "The green ridge, in the stewed west, is mostly green." Stewed bright, that is, Dunhuang city in Gansu Province today.
During the Han and Tang Dynasties, there was a resident of Congling who took the name of Juyi as his surname, which was passed down from generation to generation.
