Who knows the history of the Huang family?

At the time of Shundi, the leader of Dongyi tribe was Boyi, who was given the surname Li by Shundi for his meritorious service in helping Yu control water and for "helping Shun tame birds and animals, many of which were tamed". Legend has it that there are 14 descendants of Boyi. One of them, Huang, established the Huang State in Huangchuan, Henan Province in the late Shang and early Zhou Dynasties.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu in the south dominated the world, and only Huang Guo and Sui dared to compete with it. In 648 BC, King Chu Cheng accused Huang of not paying tribute to the State of Chu, making a wrong analysis of the situation, ignoring the criticism of the State of Chu and being unprepared. As a result, that summer was destroyed by Chu. After the national subjugation, all the descendants of Huang who took the country name as their surname were Huang.

However, some genealogists say that Huang is a descendant of Lu Zhong. So, who is Lu Zhong and what does it have to do with Boyi mentioned above? According to historical records, Boyi is the great-grandson of Zhuan Xu and Lv Zhong is also the great-grandson of Zhuan Xu, but their three generations of close relatives are different. Therefore, Huang, whether from Boyi or Luzhong, is generally a descendant of Emperor Zhuan Xu, taking the country as his surname.

There is another saying about the origin of Huang's surname that he was born after. The yellow race moved from the west of Huangshui River to the lower reaches of Fenshui River in Zhuan Xu. Huang was destroyed by Jin in the early Spring and Autumn Period, which is also one of the sources of Huang's surname.

In many great ethnic integrations in history, some members of the Huang family have integrated into the Zhuang, Yao, Dong, Shui, Buyi and other ethnic minorities.

After the national subjugation, some of Huang's adherents fled to the Central Plains, a large number of them moved to today's Hubei, and some of them worked as officials in Chu. It is said that Huanggang, Huangpi, Huangmei and other places were named after the yellow race moved here.

After the Han Dynasty, Huang moved south to the north and south of the Yangtze River, south to Hunan, Jiangxi, Sichuan and other places, and north to Gushi and Nanyang in Henan. Huang's residence in Fujian began in the Jin Dynasty. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Huang claimed to be prosperous in Fujian and Guangdong. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, he began to emigrate to Taiwan Province Province, and later many people emigrated overseas.

Huang is the eight most popular surnames in China today, accounting for the same proportion among southerners. In addition, the surname Huang is more common among Taiwan Province residents, and it is also called "the street" with Zheng.

Huang Can's family can be traced back to the Yellow Clothes Department of Dongyi. During the Yanhuang period, Dongyi was active in today's Yanshan Dynasty. Compared with the Central Plains, Dongyi is a minority, with birds as totem and clan symbol. There are nine clans (Jiuyi) in Dongyi, one of which is called "Huangyi", which worships orioles and is active in the border areas of Hebei and Shandong. Later, with the strength of Dongyi, it moved to Henan and Shanxi. In Xia Dynasty, a branch of the Yellow People established the Yellow Kingdom in Shanxi, which was finally destroyed by Jin. Later generations took the country as their surname, which was the earliest surname of Huang.

In Shang Dynasty, the Yellow People established another Yellow Kingdom in Henan. After entering the Zhou Dynasty, he was made a viscount and was later destroyed by King Chu Cheng. The descendants took the country as their surname, and the clan spread in Henan and Hubei. Huang Xie, a famous spring Shen Jun in Chu State, is a descendant of the yellow race.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the surname Huang was basically concentrated in Hubei, forming two centers, Jiangling and Jiangxia, and gradually migrated to the south. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the people of the Central Plains moved south to avoid the war, and Huang began to enter the southeast coastal areas.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, two Huang surname centers, Jinhua in Zhejiang and Shaowu in Fujian, were formed by the Huang surname who migrated from Jiangxia. In the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Huang developed into a typical southern surname, which continues to this day.

At present, the Pearl River Delta is the most densely populated area south of the Yangtze River, followed by southeastern Sichuan, eastern Hunan and southwestern Jiangxi. Guangdong is the largest province with Huang surname, accounting for about 20% of the total population of Huang surname.

The distant ancestor of the Huang family originated in the Xilamulun River valley in Inner Mongolia today, and called himself "Huang" and "Yellow Man" for worshipping orioles among birds. Later, the Yellow People migrated to the southeast, entered the Shandong Peninsula, and intermarried with the tribe of Shao Hao Jintianshi, the leader of the local Dongyi tribe alliance, and gradually became one of the top nine Dongyi tribes. Today, the origin of the Yellow People mostly begins with the integration of the Yellow People into the Dongyi tribe in Shao Hao. The most important branch of the Huang family originated from winning surnames. Boyi, a descendant of the leader of the Dongyi Tribal Alliance, was given the surname by Shun for his meritorious service. He has 65,438+04 descendants, one of whom is Huang. Huang's ancestors established the State of Huang (now Huangchuan County, Xinyang City, Henan Province) at the end of Shang Dynasty and the beginning of Zhou Dynasty, and was named Viscount State by Zhou Dynasty, which was called "Huang Ziguo" in history. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Huang was one of the powerful countries that could compete with Chu. In 648 BC, King Chu Cheng accused Huang of not paying tribute to the State of Chu, making a wrong analysis of the situation, ignoring the criticism of the State of Chu and being unprepared. As a result, that summer was destroyed by Chu. After the national subjugation, all the descendants of Huang who took the country name as their surname were Huang.

However, some genealogists say that Huang is a descendant of Lu Zhong. So, who is Lu Zhong and what does it have to do with Boyi mentioned above? According to historical records, Boyi is the great-grandson of Zhuan Xu and Lv Zhong is also the great-grandson of Zhuan Xu, but their three generations of close relatives are different. Therefore, Huang, whether from Boyi or Luzhong, is generally a descendant of Emperor Zhuan Xu, taking the country as his surname.
