The most embarrassing surname in history

There are many common surnames in life, many little people who have never even heard of them, and some surnames that are embarrassing to call. Let's have a look.

I. Gou's family

Gou's family existed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is the surname of descendants of the Yellow Emperor and Shun Di, and it is the most common in Sichuan Province. However, because Gou is homophonic with dogs, it is very embarrassing for surnames and difficult to name.

Second, the pig surname

The surname "Pig" originated in the Three Kingdoms period and mainly distributed in Fujian, Taiwan Province and Guizhou. According to the saying that the ancients once created the surname of "Shi" according to their occupation, the ancestor of pig surname is probably an ancient pig farmer.

The surname "pig" has also been passed down from generation to generation, and it was also included in the revised edition of Thousand Surnames published in 2002. However, because "pig" is not listed as a surname in Hundred Family Names, the surname of "pig" is mostly changed to "Zhu" to avoid trouble.

Third, the chicken surname.

Chicken is a rare surname, belonging to one of the four "indigenous" surnames in Foshan. The origin of chicken surname can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period, when the Vietnamese people went to Foshan by sea to reclaim land. Because of the bad local environment, they took the surname of the chicken, because the homonym of the word "chicken" is the same as "Ji", which means auspicious, and the crow of the chicken represents brightness and diligence. They want to live a hard-working and prosperous life here by this chicken name. In the Tang Dynasty, the surname of chicken reached its peak and became one of the four "indigenous" surnames in Foshan.

However, with the development of the times, the surname chicken has gradually become ambiguous, without the beautiful meaning of the past, and with a discriminatory title. Many people change their surnames to avoid getting into trouble and being laughed at. Only two sisters in modern Foshan keep this surname. A sister named Chicken is over seventy years old. A man named Chicken Meiying is almost sixty years old.
