I want to find out the origin of Hu surname and historical figures. . .
Hu is the 13 surname in China, accounting for 1.438+0% of the total population.
There are different opinions about the origin of Hu's surname. Among them, the two most important statements are related to Abatti Giresse Concorde: one is based on Chen Hugong posthumous title; Second, the country is the surname. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were Hu Guo and Viscount, whose land was near Chen Guo, and they were the vassal countries of Chen Guo.
According to the ancient surname classics, taking history as the surname is the main source of Hu's surname. The Tang Dynasty's Compilation of Yuanhe Surnames said: "After Hu and Shun Di, Chen was sealed, and later generations took history as their surname, so they took Gui as their surname." Lin Bao is based on Shi Ben of Han Dynasty. The explanation of the origin of Hu's surname in Shiben is: "How dangerous it is to die of his surname."
What we want to discuss here is, why did Gui Man get the posthumous title of "Gong Hu"? In other words, what kind of beautiful meaning does the word "Hu" contain?
We can find some clues about the origin of "Gong Hu" in posthumous title from the funeral ceremonies in the Zhou Dynasty. "Yi Zhou Shu Xie Fa Jie" says: "Baomin loves Hu Yue and will take an examination of Hu Yue next year." Hu means old age and long life. In other words, people are happy with their longevity when they reach the age of 18, so they are called "Hu" because of their longevity.
But who takes Hu as his surname first? It is difficult to study ancient surname books. Teacher Hu Hai from Guangzhou visited1991August to1996 September at his own expense, and went through a lot of hardships to find information. He thinks he is the 20th grandson of the last monarch of Chen State, and he is a great genealogy of this nation. Lian takes the country as his surname and his surname is Chen; Posthumous title Hu Gong is Gui. He was born pure, so he got the Hu family. This is a conversation. However, there is a gap of more than 600 years between Gong Hu nobles and his 2 1 generation grandchildren. If posthumous title is the surname, it may not last for 2 1 generation, which is between the third generation and the fourth generation of Sun. According to some Hu genealogies, Hu started with his eldest son. There are two sons, the eldest son is named Hou Xi, who is, and posthumous title is his surname, surnamed Hu; The second son, named Gao Yang, inherited his brother as "xianggong". This is another way of saying it.
Another way of saying the origin of Hu family is that it originated from the country and took the country as its surname. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were two tiger countries. One is Hu Guo, surnamed Ji, close to Zheng State, not far from Chen State, in Yancheng, Henan Province. One is the state of Hu in Guixing, which is adjacent to the state of Chen in Fuyang, Anhui. This state of Hu is not an independent small country, but a vassal state of Chen. "Zuo Zhuan" said, "In fifteen years, I made my son cut Chen and left with Hu and Shen." Both Hu and Shen here are vassals of Chen Guo. In the late period of Chen State, the national strength was weak, and Hu State was plundered by Wu State and died in Chu State. After Guixing destroyed Hu, later generations were divided into Hu and Guixing factions.
Regarding these two sources of Gong Hu, Zheng Qiao in Song Dynasty said in his Genealogy: "Hu Shi, viscount. Its land is also in Hu Cheng, Li San, Ruyang West and Yingzhou. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was declared public for fifteen years, which was destroyed by Chu, and later took the country as the surname. " Again, Hu Gongman was sealed in Chen, and later Hu's. "He put forward two sources here, but the earliest surname book Shiben thought that Hu originated in the Han Dynasty, and most of Hu's genealogy was recorded as originating in, so we still take Hu as posthumous title, which is the same as Chen's.
Hu genealogy originated very early, and the exact textual research can be found in the genealogy compiled by the Song Dynasty. Zhu You's Preface to Hu Genealogy says:
Hu's descendants took history as their surname, followed by people, and made contributions in Chinese. It is said that the originator of this kind of music was Hou Zhi when he entered the customs. According to legend, in the 25th century, the middle rank was Zhao Mu, so don't be sad. Because of the origin of "flow", it was learned from Ben Dazhi, and the music was passed down. Ordinary people never forget their roots. Hu's descendants can inspire themselves in the future, so the longer the genealogy spreads, the brighter it will be, which will be immeasurable from generation to generation.
Before the Tang Dynasty, Hu's counties were mainly in Anding and Xincai, among which Anding had the highest reputation. Anding county is located in Guyuan, Ningxia. Anding became a famous county named Hu in the Jin Dynasty. According to Records of Yuanhe, Hu Jian lived in Anding during the Western Han Dynasty. Hu Jian used to be a magistrate of stability, and a "noble family came from the state of Chen", that is, a descendant of Chen Hu Gongman. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Qiu was a stable person. During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei Jingzhou was settled, and his son Hu Wei was appointed as Qingzhou secretariat and Pingchun Hou, and moved to Huainan. After the Jin Dynasty, the stable Hu family was an official for generations, and its power was in the ruling and opposition. Thus, the stable Hu family became famous all over the world, and the stable Hu family became the most prominent and huge one in the world.
Fan Hu, a famous Liu and Song Dynasty soldier in the Southern Dynasties, lived in Hualin, Jiangxi Province (southwest of Fengxin County, Jiangxi Province). Fan Hu has more than 60 sons. After decades of reproduction, he has become a local clan. Is the ancestor of the Hu family. From the 24th day of Tang Dynasty, he served as judge and counselor of Raozhou. There are five sons who live in five places, which has become five cases, and the Hu family has also become prosperous.
In the Hualin Five Cases, after Hu Kui's eldest son Hu Jun, there were brothers Hu Zhongyao and imperial academy, who became scholars in the Song Dynasty. Hu Jun's descendants later moved to Hunan, Hubei, Yunnan and other places in Jiangxi. The family moved to Hunan and lived in Zhonghe Township, Liuyang, where there was a hill called "Xiling" and a village at the foot of Xiling Mountain. Since the late Ming Dynasty, a man named Hu has lived here. After 400 years, it has become a famous "Hu family in Xiling". To the present age, the Hu family in Xiling and Hu Yaobang were once General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee. According to its genealogy, the Hu family in Xiling originated from Hu family. Since Gui Man came to Hu Yaobang, the genealogy has spread to130th generation.
Another branch of the Hu family is particularly striking in Huizhou, Anhui Province, and the culture they created has become an indispensable part of Huizhou culture. As early as the Song Dynasty, Wang Zao, a famous scholar, once said, "river of no return is a famous county with ten counties, and scholars want to learn new things first. Xin 'an belongs to six counties, with many small people in the city and the most Jixi. "Jixi's surname is carefree, and Hu descendants are the heaviest."
Jixi is one of the six counties in Huizhou, and now it is Jixi County in Anhui Province. "Jixi Hu family" is famous for its unique culture and is a famous local family. There are three famous Hu families in Jixi, namely "Ming Jing Hu", "Jin Zi Hu" and "Shang Shu Hu", which are collectively called "Jixi Sanhu".
"Hu family in Ming Dynasty" is the family of modern celebrities Hu Shi and Hu (that is, Hu Xueyan, a red-crowned crane merchant) who changed their surname from Li to Hu.
The ancestor of "Golden Hu Shi" was Hu Shunyi, a famous minister and scholar in Song Dynasty (1083- 1 143). He was called Dr. Jin Guanglu, so later generations took "Jin" as his family name and called it "Jin Hu Shi". After settling in Jixi, Hu lived with his family, studied for generations, and lived a life of combining agriculture with government. Hu Zai, the son of Hu Shunyi, was also a great scholar in the Song Dynasty. According to historical records, in the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, Hu * * published 154 kinds of works, most of which were mainly about explaining classics, so it was called "the house of classics".
The ancestor of "Shangshu Hushi" can be traced back to Hu Yan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Hu Yan was originally from Qingzhou, Shandong. He was a regular official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was ordered to guard Shexian County, Xin 'an County. In the third year of Xiankang (AD 337), Hu Yan toured Huayang Town (now Jixi County) and arrived in Longchuan (now Kengkou Village, Yingzhou Township, Jixi County). He saw that the environment here is beautiful and beautiful, and it is a treasure trove of feng shui. He divined in the Lin Jing forest in Longchuankou, so he moved here from Qingzhou. Longchuan Village has developed since then, with a history of 1600 years.
The Preface of Hu Family Tree in Longchuan records: "I have many aristocratic families in Huizhou. Huayang (now Jixi) is headed by Hu, and Hu is headed by Longchuan. Longchuan Hu, Huizhou County is unparalleled. " During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the Hu family in Longchuan flourished, and their families successively entered here to take the exam. According to statistics, there are more than 100 people in the history of Jixi County, and Longchuan Village has 1 1 person, which is a famous "Jinshi Village". After Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, the Hu family in Longchuan produced two ministers, Hu and Hu Zongxian, and the Hu family in Longchuan reached its peak, so it was called Shang Hu.
"Shangshu Hushi" is famous for doing business in modern times. At that time, due to the lack of land and food in Huizhou mountainous area, it was not easy to survive. Most people went to other places to do business as soon as they reached adulthood, and they were poor and completely changed, thus forcing out the famous Huizhou merchants in the history of China.
"Guangyun" said that there was a sub-fee, because it was considered surname.
In addition, Hu Wushi originated in Guangxi, also known as Hu Mu. Guang Yun, Ji Jiu Pian, Jie Xing and Tong Zhi Shi Lue all contain: Mother and brother sealed the mother city, because the royal family of Qi was Tian in the Warring States period and was a descendant of Gui surnamed Chen, so mother and brother were far away and near the mother city.
