The origin of harmony
1, the origin of Ji surname
Take the country name as the surname. At the beginning of the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wenwang's illegitimate son, that is, Zhou Wuwang's younger brother, was sealed in Yong (now Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, northeast of Qinyang County, Henan Province), and Yong Guo was established as the earl, which was called Yong Bo in history. The descendants of Yong state thought it was the surname and became the surname of Yong.
Yong is the son of Jichang, but there are different opinions on the eldest son. "Yuan He surnamed San Ling" said: "Yong: Yong Bo, the twelve sons of King Wen, was sealed in Yong. In Yang Shan, Hanoi. Children and grandchildren take the country as their surname. " "Jie's 104" also said: "Wang Wen has sixteen sub-countries, and Yong Bo is the tenth sub-country. Then a doctor corrected it. Han yongchi. Tao Yong, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. " Customs Tong and Tongzhi, Volume 26, Volume 2, Taking the Country as the Family Name record the same thing: "After the thirteenth son Yong Bo, Yang Shan had Yong City, and the country was named Yong Family." The Secret Code of Hundred Family Names in China records: "Thirteen sons of Zhou Wenwang were sealed in Yong (now the northeast of Qinyang County, Henan Province) at the beginning of the week, and Yong Guo was established as the count, called Yong Bo. The descendants of the descendants of the country of Yong took Guo Feng as their surname and became the surname of Yong. " "A Brief Introduction to Zheng Tong's Family" said: "There is Yongcheng, and the thirteenth son of King Wen, Yong Bo, was sealed, following Yong's family." China Dictionary of Ancient and Modern Surnames says: "Yangshan Yongcheng is thirty-five miles northwest of Xiuwu County, Henan Province. This takes the country as the surname and is the surname of Ji. " According to the records of Wenshang County, Shandong Province, Yong's family was a writer named Prince Yong Bo, taking Yong as his name and the country as his surname. It is difficult for us to know whether Yong's family comes from his son, but what is certain is that this Yong's family comes from Ji's surname and is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor.
The former site of the ancient Yong Kingdom is the area around Jiaozuo City and Qinyang City in Henan Province today. It was originally the seat of a kingdom of Xiaoyongzi in Shang Dynasty. When Zhou Wuwang destroyed the Shang Dynasty, Xiaoyongzi Kingdom also perished, and its land was distributed to his younger brother by Zhou Wuwang.
The north of the Yellow River in the late summer and early Shang Dynasty is the intersection of Xia and Shang cultures. It was not only a hunting area in the west during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, but also a strategic place in the lower reaches of the Yellow River in kim dong-jin during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to compete with Qi and Chu for the Central Plains. Thus, in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, in the eighth year of Zhou Dingwang's concubine (the first year of Confucianism in Gong Jing, and the sixteenth year of Xionglu in Chu Zhuangwang, in 599 BC), the "Battle of Yingbei" broke out in Jin Chu. After the demise of Yong State, most of the descendants of Yong Bo from generation to generation took the old country as their surname, which was passed down from generation to generation, and the history called Yong's authentic, especially in Henan.
It is said that when Yong Guo perished, Yong Bo was dressed neatly and calmly, and walked out of the palace with dignity and composure in front of the Jin army. The soldiers of the Jin army could not help but be shocked and admired by your majesty. Since then, the word "En" has appeared in the history of China.
Only the correct pronunciation of Yong's family is yòng(ㄩㄥˋ), and it is clearly recorded in the historical book A Brief History of Clans that "Yong studied and lost his voice, and the original Yong Bo was blocked. Yong Bo was later called Yong Shi. "
2. From the surname.
From the food gathering place of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, it belongs to the name of Juyi. "A Brief Introduction to Zheng Tongzhi's Family" says: "In Song Dynasty, there was a Yong family with a surname." The Dictionary of Surnames says: "It comes from the Wa surname, and after the Yellow Emperor, it is the same clan as Southern Yan. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, people who lived in harmony with food thought they were surnames. " The Dictionary of Ancient and Modern Surnames in China said: "This harmony was originally in Qin Dou, which is in the south of Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province. Look out at Jingzhao. " According to the history book Dialectics of Ancient and Modern Surnames, in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, some descendants of the Yellow Emperor who changed their surnames ate in Yongyi (now Fengxiang, Shaanxi Province), so they took the name of the city as their surname and called it forever, and built the earliest Yongcheng.
During the whole period from the Shang Dynasty to the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Yong clan was relatively independent and stable in Yongyi, until the fifth year of Huqi, Ji Wang, Zhou Li (the first year of Qin Degong, 677 BC), Qin Degong moved the capital of Qin State to Yongcheng, and the Yong clan officially became a member of Qin State, known as the Yong clan of Sanqin, or the Yong clan of Yongzhou and Longxi. This Yong surname is also a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, because the Yi surname is one of the surnames of the twenty-five sons of the Yellow Emperor.

The classic "Zhou Li Qiu Guan" records: "Yong family, palm ditch, slap, blaspheme, pool ban." In fact, the word "Yong" comes from the ancient bird "Jingwei", which is the pictograph of "Jingwei Bird". Jingwei can fill the sea, so later generations extended its meaning to dams, weirs and other water conservancy facilities. Throughout the dynasties, full-time volunteers were set up, mainly to strengthen flood prevention. Among the descendants of the Yong family, there are many people who take the ancestral title as their surname, and they are called the Yong family from generation to generation.
