1. Origin of the surname

The surname Yang (Yáng Yang) has seven origins:

1. It comes from the surname Ji, who is the son of Duke Wu of Jin (Xie, the son of Tang Shuyu) After his 10th generation grandson), he named his second son Boqiao and named the city his surname. According to the "Compilation of Yuanhe Surnames" and "Tongzhi Clan Briefing", King Zhou Cheng named his younger brother Shuyu in the Tang Dynasty. After Shuyu's son Xie succeeded to the throne, he was renamed Jinhou because there was Jinshui in the south of Tang Dynasty. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Yang was destroyed by the Jin State and became the fiefdom of Yangtou of the Jin State. Duke Wu of Jin (the 10th generation grandson of Xie) granted his second son Boqiao to Yang, and he was called Yang Hou. He was the ancestor of people with the surname Yang.

2. It comes from the surname Ji, which was named after Sun Yang Togue, a descendant of Yang Hou Boqiao. According to the "New Book of Tang Dynasty: Genealogy List of Prime Ministers", the grandson of Boqiao Tu Shi lived in Yangyu and became the doctor of Yangyu, so he was named the Yangyu clan. Tu's grandson, named Shuxiang, was enfeoffed in Yang's town (today's ancient city east of Fan Village, Southeast of Hongdong County, Shanxi Province) because of his meritorious service in Dai Jin Dynasty. His son Boshi took his name from the town and was called the Yang family. In 514 BC, the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Qi family and the Yangyu family of the Qiangzong clan. Bo Shi had a son who fled to the Fairy Valley of Huashan Mountain and lived in Huayin (now part of Shaanxi Province). He was called the Yang family and was known as the Yang family in history. It is the Yang family of Shanxi.

3. It comes from the theory of Ji’s surname Yang Guo. According to Li Xueqin's "Chinese Surname Genealogy", this theory is not found in handed down documents, but can be seen in unearthed cultural relics. It is said that Ji's surname Yang is earlier than Ji's surname Yang.

4. It comes from the story of Yang Sun's relict. After Yang Sun, the official of Duke Mugong of Qin Dynasty, he named his surname after his ancestor. According to "Zuo Zhuan" records, Qin Mugong had a doctor named Yang Sun. He fled to the Song Dynasty due to dereliction of duty. His descendants took the ancestral name of Yang and were called the Yang family.

5. The surname was given in the late Han Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms period, after Zhuge Liang pacified the Laoyi (a branch of the Liao ethnic group in Hunan and Guizhou), he gave the local ethnic minorities the surnames Zhao, Zhang, Yang, and Li.

6. From his surname to Yang. For example, people with the surname Lin from Fujian Province changed their surname to Yang after moving to Meizhou, Guangdong Province. According to "Northern History", Yang Yichen's original surname was Weichi, which was later changed to Yang, and so on.

7. People from other clans changed their surname to Yang. For example, after Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang and implemented Sinicization, the three-character surname Mohulu was changed to the Yang family by Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The ancestor of the surname: Yang Boqiao. In the early years of the Zhou Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou died, and the young King Cheng succeeded to the throne. Because of the golden saying of "Tong Ye was granted the title of king", his younger brother Tang Shuyu was enfeoffed in the Tang Dynasty. Xie, the son of Tang Shuyu, later became the Marquis of Jin, and it was passed down to Duke Wu of Jin for ten generations. King Wu's eldest son Guizhu succeeded to the throne as Duke Xian of Jin, while the second son Boqiao was enfeoffed in Yang and was called Marquis of Yang. In this way, Yang Boqiao became the ancestor of the surname Yang.

2. Migration Distribution

The birthplace of the Yang surname is in present-day Shanxi Province. After Yang was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty, his descendants developed and multiplied westward. First, they moved to Fengyi (today's Dali), Shaanxi Province, and then moved to Huozhou, Shanxi Province, and then multiplied to the present day in Henan. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people surnamed Yang moved to the Jianghan area (today's Qianjiang area in Hubei Province). Later, as the power of the Chu State continued to strengthen, they were forced to move southeast to the area today in Jiangxi Province. At the same time, some people from Shanxi moved to the Jianghan area. The Yang surname is from Jiangsu and Anhui, so the Yang surname is spread in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, people surnamed Yang had already moved to Sichuan, and Shangshu Pushe Yang Xuan moved to Kuaiji, Zhejiang. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, in addition to the famous Hongnong Yang surname who lived in Huayin, Shaanxi Province, and the Di ethnic group Yang surnamed who lived in Qiuchi, Gansu Province, many people surnamed Yang moved to the south of the Yangtze River due to social unrest, and many people immigrated to the south of the Yangtze River. The ethnic minorities who dominated the Central Plains changed their surname to Yang, and Yang Huigu, the tenth grandson of Yang Zhen, Hongnong, served as the governor of Taiyuan County. His great-great-grandson was Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid the Anshi Rebellion, a large number of Yang surnames from the Central Plains moved southward again. During this period, some people with the Yang surname moved to the Korean Peninsula. During the Song Dynasty, Yang Wudi and Yang Ye lived in Taiyuan, Shanxi, and Yang Gui moved to Bozhou, Guizhou. It can be seen that by the Song Dynasty, the Yang surname had been distributed in the vast area south of the Yangtze River, with Fujian as the center of their migration. After the end of the Yuan Dynasty, with the coastal areas of Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang as the original places of overseas immigrants, people surnamed Yang began to immigrate overseas on a large scale, and their migration places were mainly concentrated in Southeast Asian countries. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Yunchuan, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, crossed the sea with the army to North Borneo (today's Heba State, Malaysia) and married the daughter of a local chief. The princess later threw herself into the sea and died because of Yang Yunchuan's death, which became a local legend. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Yang Aqiu, a native of coastal Fujian, went to India to do business and built a China Town. After modern times, others surnamed Yang went to Europe, America or Australia to settle. Today, the Yang surname is widely distributed in our country, especially in the provinces along the Yangtze River Basin. The distribution pattern of the Yang surname originally spread from the middle reaches of the Yellow River and the foot of Huashan Mountain to the surrounding areas, and from the north to the south. Overseas, it spread as follows: Mainly Southeast Asia. The Yang surname is the sixth most popular surname in China today.

Origined from the theory of the youngest son of King Xuan of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Shang Fu

When the throne of the Western Zhou Dynasty was passed from King Wu to King Xuan, it was already the year of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the national power was no longer as good as before. King Xuan had a younger son named Shangfu. Because he was not granted a title during the reign of King Xuan, he was granted the title of Marquis of Yang until King You of Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, the history books also call him Marquis of Yang. He established the Kingdom of Yang and later became the Kingdom of Jin. After the annexation, the descendants of the original Yang Guohou clan were named Yang from the feudal city.

Origined from the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Dynasty Taifu Yang Jie said

Bo Qiao was born in Wen, and Wen was born in Tu. . Yangtou governs the three cities of Tong (Geshi), Yangshi and Pingyang. Sudden birth of career, career birth of red, Ji, Yu, Hu, Ji Su. Among them, the second son, Ziyi, also known as Shuxiang, was a famous politician during the reign of Duke Ping of Jin Dynasty. He held the position of Taifu. Because of his meritorious service in the Jin Dynasty, he was enfeoffed in Yang's town (southeast of today's Hongdong, Shanxi Province). His son Bo Shi, named Shiwo, took the city as his surname and called him Yang.

In 514 BC, the Jin Dynasty destroyed Qiangzong's Qi family and the Yangyu family. He had a son who fled to the Fairy Valley of Huashan Mountain and lived in Huayin (now part of Shaanxi Province), called the Yang family. Later, it was established in various places and became the mainstream of the Yang family's reproduction and development, and was known as the Yang family's authentic sect in history. It is the Yang family of Shanxi. According to "Guangyun" and "Tongzhi: Clan Briefing", Shang's father, the youngest son of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty, was granted the title of Marquis of Yang (now southeast of Hongdong County, Shanxi Province), and was later merged with Jin because of his surname.

2. Conferring surnames to surnames

1. Conferring surnames due to meritorious service

Because of the meritorious service, the ruler was given a surname by the ruler to make his family shine. Guangzong Yaozu is the most basic type of surnames.

Yang Yichen in the Sui Dynasty. Yang Yichen's original surname was Yuchi, who belonged to Xianbei in the west and was one of the eight surnames of Xunchen in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Wei Chichong, the father of Yichen, was the general manager of Dingzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In the early Sui Dynasty, he accompanied Da Xi Changru, the general manager of the marching army, to fight with the Turks and died in the battle. Yichen was young at that time and was raised in the palace. A few years later, he was ordered to stay in Wei Palace. Because he was often around Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty inevitably recalled Yuchi Chong's achievements, so he issued an edict: "The righteous minister can be given the surname Yang, 30,000 guan in money, 30 hu of wine, and 100 hu of dendrobium each in rice and wheat." The family name is the descendant of the emperor. "Not only was the royal surname given, but the seniority of the minister in the royal family was also determined, which was extremely favored among those who were given the surname.

2. Adoption of the adoptive owner

The most common phenomenon is that a person with another surname changes his surname because his adoptive father or owner is named Yang.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, Yang Feilong, the leader of the clan active in Qiuchi, Wudu (now northwest of Chengxian County, Gansu Province), had a nephew, Linghu Maosou. Maosou was the adopted son of Feilong, so he followed him. His adoptive father changed his surname to Yang. Later, Yang Maosou succeeded Feilong as the leader of the Di tribe and was named a hussar general by Emperor Min of Jin.

The period when the phenomenon of fostering masters was most frequent was the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. Since the "An-Shi Rebellion" in the Tang Dynasty, the power of Fangzhen has continued to expand, and some Fangzhens have gradually become independent kingdoms that compete with the central government. Either out of political ambition or to protect their territory, the vassal marshal recruited troops one after another. Some fierce and brave men became the lord marshal's adopted son and adopted the surname of their adoptive owner. In order to expand their power, the eunuchs in the palace also adopted others as their sons. The custom of changing surnames from their adoptive owners became very popular for a while.

In the Tang Dynasty, Yang Si (Rizu), whose real surname was Su, was adopted from his adoptive father because he was an adopted son of the Yang family. Yang Si (Rizu) was born during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. According to historical records, there were not many such surname changes at that time. Things will be very different in the future. Yang Fuguang, whose real surname was Qiao, was raised in the family of Yang Xuanjie, the chamberlain, when he was young, so he changed his surname to Yang. During the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Fuguang was granted the title of Hongnong County Duke for his meritorious service in suppressing Wang Xianzhi's uprising army. Hongnong (governing Lingbaobei, Henan Province today) was the most prominent county magistrate with the Yang surname. Yang Shouliang, whose real surname was Zi, was named Liang. When Yang Fuguang suppressed the Huangchao uprising in Jiangxi, he got Ziliang and raised him as a fake son. He changed his surname to Yang and his name to Shouliang. Yang Fugong, whose real surname was Lin, changed his surname to Yang because he was the adopted son of the eunuch Yang Xuanyi.

Yang Fugong served as the lieutenant of the Zuo Shence Army during the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty. Later, he made the decision to establish Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty, and his power was overwhelming for a while.

3. Changing the surname

In the history of the Chinese revolution, there have been many such situations.
