There are several students surnamed Chen in the class, and everyone thinks: What kind of surname is Chen? Did some research.

1, the origin of surname

Chen has five sources:

1, from Gui surname, ancestors are Gui Man and descendants of Yu Shun. According to the genealogy, after Zhou Wuwang destroyed the Shang Dynasty, all the descendants of the previous generation of holy kings were Gui, and Gui Man was called Chen Hou, which spread to the last year of Sun Gui in 10, and civil strife occurred in Chen State. Chen Ligong's son was afraid of implicating himself, so he took the country as his surname and went to Qi.

2, from the descendants of Chen Guogong. After Gui Man's death, some of Chen's descendants took the country as their surname, namely Chen. In addition to Hu Gongman's son Chen Wan, there are three other lineages. First, my son stayed and took refuge in Chen. The second is Chen Yan, Chen Mingong's eldest son. Avoid living in Yangwuhu Township. Third, Chen Menglian lived in Gushi after Chen Mingong's second son was completely warm. Later, because he had no children, he took Chen Shi of Yingchuan as his heir and merged with Chen Shi of Yingchuan.

3. After Bai Yonggui. In the early years of Sui Dynasty, Bai Yonggui changed his surname to Chen, and later people also changed their surname to Chen, who was Chen in Wannian (now an City, Shaanxi Province).

4. The Prince of Qi State is a descendant of Qi State. After the Qin Dynasty destroyed Qi, Qi fled to Chu as the prime minister and was named Hou of Yingchuan (now Yuzhou, Henan Province), which was the beginning of Chen's surname in Yingchuan.

His surname was changed from that of ethnic minorities. According to the Records of Shu Wei Guanshi, in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty reformed, and with the Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he moved a post-desert Chen surname of Xianbei nationality to Luoyang, and then implemented the sinicization policy and changed his surname to Chen. It's for Chen in Luoyang, Henan. According to the Records of Henan Province, Bai Yonggui changed his surname to Chen in the early Sui Dynasty, which was the origin of Chen's surname in Wannian (now Shaanxi 'an). According to the genealogy, the descendants changed their surname to Chen, and later lived in Guangling Chen (now Zhenjiang East, Jiangsu).

Ancestor: Chen Hugong. Chen's surname comes from Gui's surname, and Chen's surname is a descendant. Before Shun was born, Yao married his two daughters to Shun and let them live in Liao? Riverside. So the descendants of Shun are called Gui surname. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, after Zhou Wuwang destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he found Gui Man, a descendant at that time, married his eldest daughter, sealed him in Chen, and established the State of Chen, with its capital in Wanqiu (now Huaiyang, Henan). He made Chen Guo prosperous for many years by selecting talents, promoting good and punishing evil, and making great efforts to govern. After Guiman's death, posthumous title was named Gong Hu, so he was also called Chen Hugong and Gong Hu. Later generations took the country as their surname, called Chen, and respected Chen as the ancestor.

2. Migration and distribution

Huaiyang is the birthplace of Chen, and Huaiyang is still called "old". After the demise of Chen, I have already mentioned it before, so I won't repeat it. Among them, the branch is clear, and the surname of Yingchuan Chen is thriving, and there are many descendants. Later, a descendant, Chen Bozhen, crossed the river to Qu 'a (now Danyang, Jiangsu) at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, and his grandson moved to Xiaruoli (now Changxing, Zhejiang) under the Great Wall.

Chen Yuanguang is known as "Zhang Kai Wang Sheng"; Then, Chen Yong, a descendant of Yingchuan Chen, moved to Tongan, Fujian Province because of Li's exclusion, and developed into a "Taifu School" in Fujian, honoring Chen Yong as the ancestor of the South Hospital; The Chen surname of Yimen in Jiangzhou is circulated in 16 provinces 125 places. Chen entered Vietnam in the Song Dynasty with the largest number of people. Chen is the husband of Li, the queen of the Li Dynasty.

People from the Central Plains (descendants of Chen) moved to Ninghua and Shanghang, Fujian, and their great-grandchildren moved to Meixian, Guangdong. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Tongan people in Fujian (after the opening of the port by the holy king) were honored as the ancestors of Chen's entry into Taiwan, and they had the reputation of "Chen Lin spent half a day in Taiwan" with Lin. Chen moved to Vietnam for a long time. Chen, the husband of Li Zhaohuang, the Empress of the Li Dynasty, established the Chen Dynasty in Vietnam in 1228, and * * * was transmitted to the eighth king in 13, which lasted 175 years. After 1000 years of reproduction, Chen has now become the top ten surnames in Vietnam. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang sent sailors surnamed Chen to Ryukyu, Japan. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, some people surnamed Chen from Fujian, Guangdong and other places went to sea to make a living in Southeast Asia, Europe and America. Chen is mainly distributed in southern China, especially in Guangdong, Fujian, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Shandong and other provinces.
