Cai Sacrifice ancient universal family name system inherited Zhonghu

On the origin of the family name of Cai, the ancient books have been very detailed and sure records, for example, the "Surname Kao Li" said: "King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty, the fourteenth son of Cai Shudu was born Cai Zhonghu, sealed in Cai, the descendants in the country for the clan, Jin has Cai Mo, the Qin phase of the Cai Zee, looking out of the Jiyang, Cai, Sacrifice, the ancient common. "

"Sex Codification" also pointed out that: "Zhou, Cai Shudu both dead, his son said Hu, renewed seal, is for Cai Zhong, after because of the Yan."

In addition, there is a Ming Dynasty return to Zhenchuan "Huating Cai's new genealogy of the preface", the ins and outs of the Cai's account more clearly. The preface is recorded as follows: "Cai's first out of King Wen of Zhou, and Cai Shudu, King Wu's brother of the same mother, to Wu Geng of the chaos of the move, his son Hu, can change the line, the rate of virtue and tame the good, the Duke of Zhou cited as the Ru Qing soil, the re-featured Cai, the Shangshu, the fate of Cai Zhong is also. Today Caizhou has Cai City, followed by Ping Hou migrated to live in today's Xin Cai, Zhaohou migrated to the state to come, today's Shouzhou is also, after twenty-six years extinguished in Chu."

From the above records, the origin of the Cai Clan is clear at a glance and clearly understood. At the beginning of their family name, they mainly prospered in the area of Shangcai County in the present Henan Province, and when they passed on to the Cai Ping Hou, the others were captured by the ambitious state of Chu, so they moved eastward with the Ping King, and were reappointed in the existing Xin Cai County in Henan Province. To the time of the Zhaohou, Chu "ghost" and brain to the head of Cai, they had no choice but to migrate to the next Cai, is now Fengtai County, Anhui Province, the place. However, they let Chu again and again, but still can not make Chu "moved", and finally could not escape the fate of being destroyed by the strong Chu. Thus, once in the early years of the Zhou Dynasty once set off a full sky of Cai, since then disappeared in history, but their descendants, but generations of reproduction, while the performance of excellence, and finally became a large number of people's famous family name.

The performance of the Cai family in history, really deserve the "outstanding" four words and deserve. In the hundreds of years of the Han Dynasty, the performance of the Cai family is even more remarkable, paper Cai Lun, the filial Cai Shun, as well as set the text of the six scriptures Cai Yong, are in the history of the name shining with incomparable splendor. Their names have been familiar to everyone for thousands of years, and their deeds have long been in the hearts of the people.

According to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Cai Lun was a eunuch during the reign of Emperor He of the Eastern Han Dynasty and was highly regarded by the emperor for his talent, and was later named Marquis of Longting by Emperor An of the Han Dynasty. He invented the paper, known as "Cai Hou paper", its production method in accordance with the "Compendium of Materia Medica" records, is this: "Eastern Han Dynasty and the emperor, Guiyang Cai Lun began to pick the bark of the tree, so the silk, fish nets, hemp fabrics, cooking and papermaking, the world is universal."

Cai Yong's high reputation at that time, can be said to be like a day in the sky, the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" also recorded another part of his story, said, when Dong Zhuo when Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty's Sikong, in order to establish their own reputation, once forced him to come out to do the job, and "three days, the week of the three platforms". Although Dong Zhuo was not a good person, and later, after Wang Yun executed Dong Zhuo, he was even implicated and died in prison unjustly, but at that time, Cai Yong's resounding reputation was enough to make future generations take pride in themselves.

The heroine of "Wen Ji Returns to Han", Cai Wen Ji, is the daughter of Cai Yong, and her "Eighteen Pieces of Barbarian Barbarian Pipe", which she made when she was leaving her husband and beard, is just as famous as the story of how she recited and remembered the more than 400 books she had read to Cao Cao in front of him.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Cai surname was mainly active in the Central Plains, and the famous Jiyang Cai surname was formed around the eastern part of Henan Province and the western part of Shandong Province. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the war in the north, a large number of people in the Central Plains moved south, the Cai surname began to enter the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions on a large scale: since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Cai surname people living in the south of China, they all believe that their ancestral roots in Henan Jiyang Kaocheng, and "Jiyang" as a family special hall name, used to this day. The beginning of the Tang Dynasty and the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains have two immigrants to Fujian activities, Cai is one of the main family name, which has laid the foundation for the Cai family name to become a famous name in the South; Tang Dynasty, two immigrants into the Fujian Cai is very much, the exact number of people have been unable to count, and each other into one, the development of Fujian into a large family name, and later became Taiwan, Guangdong Cai's main source of the family name.

Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Cai surname continues to flourish in all parts of the country, and gradually formed the Chinese population, the influence of the great family name.

The origin of Ke Cai Tongzong Xin, Ke, Cai three surnames of the same ancestor is Cai Dunyi.

Cai Dunyi was born in 887 AD (the thirteenth year of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty), his wife Xin, three sons Cai Zhongfu, Cai Zhongzuo, Cai Zhonghui.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Cai Dunyi was appointed as a doctor in the state of Wu and served as an official for 26 years.

In 937 A.D., Li C destroyed Wu and established the Southern Tang Dynasty. In 937 A.D., Li C destroyed Wu and established the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Cai Dunyi's superiors were sent to kill him for taking bribes.

What is the origin of the family name? Chinese surname has a long history, said to have originated in the ancient matriarchal clan society, Fuxi's began to be the family name, do not marriage, but the pre-Qin era of the surname and the clan are two different concepts, the surname arose in the matriarchal clan society, for the same group of names, the clan is a branch of the surname, said the tribal branch of the name, used to distinguish between the descendants of the out. Due to population proliferation, moving to a different place, identity skills changes, etc., can be divided into some branches, these branches are the clan. Thi is the representative of the aristocratic clan system and title, Xia, Shang, Zhou three generations ago, the man more than the name of the clan. Women more called the name, such as Confucius, so the name, Kong is the clan, Church is the name, because the man called the clan does not call the name, it is called Kong Qiu, not called Zi Qiu.

The surname mainly from four aspects:

One is from the land and give the name, the son of heaven is to give the name of the people. The Yellow Emperor created twelve surnames for his twenty-five sons. The descendants of the Tao Tang clan were sealed in the land of Liu, and their descendants took Liu as their surname.

Second, the birthplace of the surname. The Yellow Emperor was born in Shouqiu and grew up in Ji Shui, so he took Ji as his surname.

Third, the surname is based on the title and official position. The youngest son of King Zhuang of Chu made Shangguan Dafu, and his descendants were named Shangguan.

Fourth, the family name is derived from things or other reasons.

The Han Prime Minister Tian Qianqiu is old, in and out of the car, known as the car Prime Minister. The descendants took the car as their surname. Ge is an ancient surname, was originally Luangya County people, after Tun moved to Yangdu, Yangdu originally had the surname Ge, and moved to the surname Ge, so more people surnamed Ge, with Zhuge to differentiate between them, and since then there has been a compound surname Zhuge.

Due to the development of the tribe, the population multiplication. Branches gradually more and more, the name of the clan also greatly increased. A surname can be divided into many clans, a clan and reproduction of more clans, so the family name is not fixed, in fact, the family name unity or basic stability, or since the Han Dynasty later. Qin destroyed six countries soon, Han and united the world, as the maintenance of the Zhou royal family patriarchal system important symbol of the family name system, also with the complete collapse of the royal family and the demise. Up to this point. China's family name is only two and one, or say the name, or say the family name, or the family name and say. In fact, all of them are male instead of surname. This shows that the future descendants, are male blood relations of reproduction, as the Ming Dynasty Gu Yanwu in the "Ri Zhi Lu" said: since the Warring States below the people, to the surname for the surname, the Huangdi since the death of the surname. The name of the family name, since the beginning of Tai Shi Gong mixed and one, the family name will become a link to maintain the tradition of unity of the symbol of the clan, so respect for the ancestors and respect for the ancestors has become the traditional virtues of the Chinese people over the past thousands of years, but also to maintain the unity of the motherland to ensure. If a Chinese person does not even honor and respect his or her ancestors and parents, it is hard to imagine that he or she will become a patriot.

To date, hundreds of thousands of years, migrated to other places of foreigners of Chinese descent, now they still do not forget their motherland, ancestry, ancestors, often come to China to find their roots to pay homage to their genealogy, but also recorded clearly, such as Japan's Liu Bang descendants of the original family genealogy contained in the family tree of the Emperor Gaozu's pedigree, the strict existence of the matter, I really want to not feel the sobbing, can not be obtained, but also want to think of China's state, to Han since; two thousand four hundred and forty-four. To the Han since; two thousand four hundred and forty years, treating thirteen, four dynasties, although the present is long. Between the two state affairs have sheng and decline, but no not all pregnant with the Han Dynasty's heyday and the Mu, I often think of my high ancestral rule of the old country, cut and can not be banned, so the publication of this genealogy, the same family its hair want to be, the genealogy of the base, the chat to report to the emperor of the high emperor's residual virtues is also Yan.

According to legend, the earliest origin of the surname and the primitive nation of totem worship. Clan tribes not only on the totem worship, prohibit food, kill, offend, and take it as the clan's unified clan number. In the primitive tribes, totem, clan name and ancestor name is often the same, over time, the name of the totem has evolved into the same clan all members **** have the mark - surname. By the totem evolved into a lot of legends of the family name. According to evidence, the Yelang country's king is the king of bamboo, his subjects to bamboo as a totem, surnamed bamboo. Also according to history books, there were Fox Hair and Snake Flat in Jin, Dog Weiyang, Wolf Mo and Deer Flag in Han Dynasty, and Leopard Skin Gong in Three Kingdoms. Through these odd names and camels, tigers, ants, cows, sheep, birds, dragons, bamboo, wu, tea, chrysanthemums and other animals and plants with the same name of the family name, vaguely see the indelible historical imprint of totem worship on the origin of the family name.

The formation of the surname in addition to the close relationship with the totem, but also inseparable from the female. According to archaeological data show that the Western Zhou bronze inscriptions, can be clearly identified less than thirty surnames, but most of them from the female side, such as: Jiang, Yao, Si, Ji, Nuwa, maidservant, Haumea, Fei, good, win and so on. Not only the ancient surnames are mostly related to the word "female", even the word "surname" itself is also from female ...... >>

The origin of the compound surname Cailin? Compound surname "Cailin" does not have the origin of ancient surnames, so the common surname book did not see records. According to Cai Lin's family said: "Cai Lin" origin because of its ancestors originally in Fuzhou, originally surnamed Lin, a friend of the ancestors surnamed Cai, Shuangfeng's. Cai did not have children, surnamed Cai. Cai's no children, surnamed Lin's a son to the surnamed Cai, so there is a Cai Lin this name.
