Because China has a long history, with the passage of time, there will be many special customs that people in other countries can't understand, for example, some surnames can't be married. This is a custom that belongs to the bad habits of the old society in our view, but it has a historical origin. Many of these historical stories are fabricated in later romantic novels, but the people are convinced and some customs have emerged.

For example, after the Song Dynasty, Qin Yue's intermarried families were few. I think everyone can guess a thing or two. That's because Yue Fei, a loyal national hero, was born among the people named Yue, but this national hero was shamelessly framed by the wicked Qin Gui, which led to the downfall of the Han people and missed the good opportunity to recover the rivers and mountains. Therefore, the Yue family rarely intermarried with the Qin family, even recorded in many Yue genealogies. After the Song Dynasty, the word juniper was rarely used in the name.

This is a custom formed by historical figures and stories, which Chinese sons and daughters can't personally understand and foreigners can't understand.

The origin of Qin Yue's two surnames was a word-of-mouth story until the middle of Qing Dynasty. Some people even advised him to fight against the Qing Dynasty, because he is a descendant of Yue Fei. Even a scholar named Qin once went to Yue Fei's grave to express his guilt because of his surname. This is entirely your own burden, regardless of whether the top scholar is a descendant of Qin Gui. A thousand years alone is enough to wash away the sins of future generations. Why cling to death?

In addition to Qin Yue's two surnames, it is customary for Pan and Yang and Wu not to marry, which is entirely due to the novel's romance. In the novel, Yang Jiajiang, full of loyalty and loyalty, was framed by the traitor Pan Renmei, which led to the tragic situation that there was no successor in Yangmen and the population was thin.

People are so convinced of the stories in the novel that many Yang family members have made family rules that they are not allowed to marry Pan. However, in the history books, there is no bad blood between Pan Renmei and Yang Jiajiang. They are all generals under Zhao Kuangyin in the early Song Dynasty, and they have no grudges.

In fact, another man murdered Yang Jiajiang. Just because this person's popularity is not high, the author planted this matter on Pan Renmei's head, leaving Pan Yang's grievances. In the Ming Dynasty, there was even a story about people surnamed Yang chasing Pan's descendants, which was simply ironic. As for Pan's not marrying the Wu family, it is also because the fiction of the novel makes people believe it. People's hatred for the prostitute Pan Jinlian has been transferred to Pan's surname, and even gradually evolved into an established custom. The two families are not allowed to marry each other.

After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the descendants of the Zheng family in Fujian and Taiwan Province were still engaged in the cause of anti-Qing and restoring sight. Later, the court appointed Shi Lang as the general, wiped out the rebels, pacified Taiwan Province Province, and the Qing Dynasty was completely stable. However, it also caused a bad blood between the descendants of Shi Lang and Zheng Chenggong. They hated each other, so it gradually became an established custom, telling them not to get married.

In addition to these examples of not getting married for reasons other than folktales and courtiers' grievances, there are also some reasons why China people don't get married because of the change of dynasties. The monarch of Qin, who once took the place of the Zhou royal family to govern the country, won the surname, so they didn't marry Ji. First of all, because people surnamed Ji thought they had seized their own country and won, because people surnamed Qin didn't want to marry people with extinct surnames.

Lee used to be the national surname of the Tang Dynasty, and many courtiers who made great contributions were given the national surname by Emperor Taizong. So until today, Lee is still the most popular surname in China, but his country finally died at the hands of Zhu Wen, which is a great hate for destroying the country. A few years later, the tables turned, Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor and established the Ming Dynasty, but it happened that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by Li Zicheng, which was also the great hatred of destroying the country. Therefore, Li is unwilling to marry Zhu, which is also the reason for the change of dynasty.

Ancestors stipulate that you can't get married. There are many other reasons besides grudges. For example, sometimes, a family broke the royal law and had to wander around, changing its name and surname. Before that, they discussed the sign of changing their surnames in advance, which is convenient for people in the same family to identify. However, in order to prevent close relatives from getting married, they often warn their descendants not to marry certain surnames, resulting in the situation that some families cannot get married.
