1. It comes from Ji's surname. Ji Jin, the prince of Zhou Lingwang, was furious with Wang because of his outspoken advice. He was abolished as a common people and moved to Langya (now Jiaonan, Shandong Province), where he thrived from generation to generation. Because it was originally a royal family, the world called it "the royal family", so it was extended to a surname. And Zhou Wenwang's fifteenth son, Bi Gonggao, whose descendants scattered around Jingzhao and Hejian for some reason, calling themselves wang xing for the sake of royalty. Later generations did not change, and gradually became the most popular name.
2. From Gui's surname, after Yu Shun, the ancient emperor, he lived in Beihai and Chenliu, and from the descendants of the ancient king, he was born in wang xing.
3. From the surname of Zi, he is a descendant of Cheng Tang. At the end of Yin Dynasty, Prince Bigan, Zhou Wang's elder brother, was killed for remonstrating with Zhou Wang and was buried in Ji County, where his descendants lived to guard the mausoleum. Because it originated from the royal family, it changed its surname to Wang.
Zi surname is the surname of the imperial family in Yin and Shang Dynasties. The family of emperors in Yin and Shang dynasties took the son as their surname from the deed. Legend has it that Qi's mother is Judie, the daughter of You. Once, Judie was bathing in the river with her sisters, and suddenly she saw a big bird flying in the sky. The bird laid an egg by the river, just near Judie. Judie has been pregnant since she ate that bird's egg. After being pregnant in October, she gave birth to a boy. This boy is Qi. Although this is recorded in Historical Records? Yin Benji, but we can only regard it as a myth and legend. Not only do we not regard this legend as a historical fact today, but even ancient people doubt its vacuum. For example, legend has it that Judie was Di Ku's concubine. In the Three Kingdoms, Qiao Zhou said that Di Ku was born in Yao, while Qi was born in Yao and was promoted when he grew up in Shun. Therefore, Judie must not be Di Ku's concubine, and Qi is not Di Ku's son. In our view today, there are more doubts than that. It is unbelievable to get pregnant by eating bird eggs. However, we can find two basic facts from this legend: First, Qi was born in a matriarchal clan society in ancient times when people only knew his mother but not his father. Second, when Qi was born, it was no longer taken for granted that it was normal to know only his mother but not his father. People began to demand to know both his mother and his father. That's why there is a story about getting pregnant by eating bird eggs, so as to create a decent reason for not knowing his father. This shows that matriarchal clan society began to change to paternal clan society.
Qi was born in Yao, grew up in Shun, and showed great talent. When Dayu succeeded in water control and Shun commended him, Dayu said that there were contributions from Ji, Qi and Tao. Therefore, Shun also gave a special order to make him Stuart, let him educate the people with the ethical concepts of father, mother, brother, brother and son, seal him in the commercial land, and give him the surname as a son.
Qi has been handed down from generation to generation in his fief. By the time of Sun Tang's 13th generation, he had moved the capital eight times, and finally settled down as the ruling center, becoming a powerful tribal group to compete with Xia Dynasty. At that time, the Xia Dynasty had reached the end of its road. In sharp contrast with the Xia Dynasty, the Shang Kingdom was in a period of flourishing development. Tang, the leader of the Shang kingdom, is very good at governing the country. He has a famous saying: "People can know their own image through water, and you can know whether the country is governed or not through the people." Tang was also a benevolent monarch, and people came to him one after another. Among the people who left Xia Ben Tang, there was an able man named Yi Yin, who became a good assistant for Tang to govern the country. Finally, Tang attacked the Xia Dynasty, defeated Xia Jie and overthrew the Xia Dynasty, and established the Shang Dynasty with its capital in Xihao.
The descendants of Qi, who took Zi as their surname, included outstanding figures such as Tang, Pan Geng and Wu Ding, and mediocre people such as Tai Jia, Tai Geng and Xiao Jia. The Shang Dynasty also lasted for more than 5 years, and finally died at the hands of the 31st monarch, Di Xin.
When it comes to Di Xin, most people will have a strange feeling, but when it comes to Zhou Wang, everyone will know. He is a famous tyrant who is extravagant and extravagant in history. People are looking forward to God punishing Zhou Wang early and sending down people who are destined to replace him early.
However, not everyone in the imperial clan of Yin Shang, whose surname is Zi, is like Zhou Wang. There are many wise people among them, and the most representative one is Prince Bigan. Bigan was the son of Zhou Wang's grandfather, Emperor Tai Ding, and Shang Zhouwang's uncle. At that time, he was holding the post of Shao Shi. Zhou Wang was so fatuous that people left, even Zhou Wang's brother Wei Zi left, and another brother ji zi pretended to be crazy to show that he didn't cooperate with Zhou Wang. But Bigan made up his mind to persuade Zhou Wang to change course. When he met Zhou Wang, he gave him earnest persuasion. Zhou Wang wouldn't listen, so he wouldn't go. He advised him in the palace for three days in a row. Finally, Zhou Wang became impatient. He said, "I heard that a saint has seven hearts. I want to see if your heart is like this." With that, he cut Bigan's heart open and killed him alive.
Shortly after the death of Prince Bigan, the Shang Dynasty was wiped out by Jizhou, which rose in the west. Although the Shang Dynasty perished, the three nobles of the Shang royal family were regarded as three benevolent people of the Shang Dynasty because they did not go along with Zhou Wang. They were Wei Zi, ji zi and Bi Gan. Wei Zi was later sealed in the Song Dynasty, and ji zi was also given preferential treatment by Zhou Wuwang. The place where Bigan's cemetery was located was also given to his descendants by Zhou Wuwang. Bigan's Cemetery, Notes on Water Classics? Qingshui is said to be in Chaoge (now Qixian County, Henan Province), Historical Records? Zhou Benji, Zhang Shoujie, Justice, and Kuozhi said that there are 25 steps in 1 miles in Jixian County, Weizhou (now Weihui City, Henan Province). The descendants of Bigan lived in the land from Qixian to Weihui, and took Wang as their surname. Wang xing, who first lived in Shangdu, was actually a descendant of the royal family surname of Yin Shang.
4. From Tian. In 368 BC, Tian He replaced Jiang as the monarch of the State of Qi, which was called "Tian's generation of Qi" in history, and was passed on to eight kings, who were destroyed by Qin, and their descendants were abolished as common people. One of them thought of himself as the royal family of the State of Qi, so he took Wang as his surname.
5. After Wei Xianzi in the Spring and Autumn Period. Han, Zhao and Wei were divided into Jin and each was king. Later Wei died in Qin, and his royal family took refuge in various places. Because many of them are descendants of Wei, they changed their names to Wang. For example, Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, took refuge in Mount Tai and entered Korea in the Western Han Dynasty, where he was named as the king of Lanling. Later, he claimed to be from the family of princes and dignitaries, and his surname was Wang.
6. After Yan Taizi Dan. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty to stand on his own feet and established a new dynasty to claim the title of emperor. Yan Taizi Dan's great-great-grandson is famous, and he gave his life, which was favored by Wang Mang and gave him the surname Wang, the same as the emperor. In history, there are many people who have been given the surname Wang, and their descendants also take Wang as their surname.
7, from ethnic minorities. According to "Tongzhi. Clan Brief", wang xing "who goes out of Henan is a Kepin family; Feng Xu is a pincer-ear family; Out of Yingzhou, Ben Gaoli; Out of Anton, Ben Kirsch. This is the king of Lu's surname. Generally speaking, the son is named Wang after the king. "
8. He changed his surname to Wang. For example, Wang Sengbian, a Liang general in the Southern Dynasties, was originally a Xianbei nationality, surnamed Wu Maru, and later changed his surname to Wang; In the Sui Dynasty, there was a Wang Shichong, whose surname was Huzhi in the Western Regions. After he entered the Central Plains, he changed his surname to Wang. Liu Qufei, a native of the Five Dynasties, changed his name to Wang Baoyi, and his son Sun Yan attacked Wang; Manchu Yan Hong family, some changed to wang xing; Yelv's family of Mongolians was also changed to wang xing.
