1. Origin of the surname

The surname Sheng (Shèng) has three origins:

1. It comes from the surname Ji, which is named after the country. According to "Xing Kao", after the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty, it enfeoffed many countries with the same surname, and Sheng Guo was one of them. The Sheng Kingdom was first established during the reign of King Mu of Zhou Dynasty, and it was located in the Huafeng area south of Tai'an, Shandong Province. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Sheng State was constantly invaded by powerful neighboring countries such as Lu, Qi, and Wei, and was finally destroyed by Qi State in 686 BC. After the fall of the country, in order to commemorate their homeland, the princes of the Sheng Kingdom took the name of the country and took the surname Sheng. Therefore, it can be traced back that the Chinese people with the surname Sheng for more than 2,000 years are also the descendants of the most glorious Huang Di Ji.

2. It comes from the surname of the ancestor and was changed to the surname of Shi (pronounced "Shì"). Another lineage with the surname Sheng was changed from the surname Xi and got its surname in the late Western Han Dynasty. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, a famous official named Zhao Gongshi, and one of his descendants took his name as his surname, Shi. By the time of Emperor Yuan of the Western Han Dynasty, because the Emperor Yuan's name was Liu Xi, people had to avoid it, so people with the surname of Xi were changed to the surname Sheng. Another example is recorded in the "Surname Genealogy": "The governor of Beihai, Xi Wei, changed his surname to Sheng to avoid the taboo of the Yuan Emperor." ".

3. People from ethnic minorities change their surnames. People with the surname Shengjia from the Eight Banners of Manchuria in the Qing Dynasty changed their Han surname to Sheng.

The ancestor who got the surname: Zhao Gongshi. The ancestor of the Sheng family was Zhao Gongshi of the Yan Kingdom of the Zhou Dynasty. Because he was granted the title of Zhao (southwest of Qishan, Shaanxi Province today), he was also called Zhao Gong or Zhao Bo. Duke Zhao helped King Wu of Zhou to destroy the Shang Dynasty and was granted the title of Yan. The descendants of Zhaogong Xi took their ancestor's name and became the surname Xi. By the time of Emperor Yuan of the Western Han Dynasty, he changed the Xi family name to the Sheng family to avoid the Yuan Emperor's taboo (the Yuan Emperor's name was Liu Xi). Descendants of the Sheng family respected Zhao Gongshi as the ancestor of the Sheng surname.

2. Migration Distribution

There are two main sources of the Sheng surname. The earlier one comes from the Sheng State in the Spring and Autumn Period; the other Sheng surname is derived from the surname Xi. He changed his name and got his surname in the late Western Han Dynasty. Historically, the Sheng surname has successively formed prominent families in Runan (ruling today's Shangcai, Henan Province), Liangguo (ruling today's south of Shangqiu City, Henan Province) and other places, and many famous people have appeared. Among them, Tingwei Sheng Ji in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ge Guogong Sheng Yanshi in the early Tang Dynasty, poet Sheng Yu in the Yuan Dynasty, painter Sheng Lin in the Ming Dynasty, and industrialist Sheng Xuanhuai in the Qing Dynasty are all outstanding representatives of the Sheng surname. According to the research of later scholars, the ancestor of the Sheng surname in our country was born from the surname Ji. The grandson of Zhaogong Si gave Yu Sheng the surname of Xi, a vassal of Yan. Later, he avoided the taboo of the Han and Yuan emperors and changed his surname to Guo. There is sufficient evidence for this. Information is available for explanation. Regarding the origin of the Sheng surname and their close relationship with the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, surname scholars have always had the same view. For example, "Xingkao" says: "After the prosperity of the country during the reign of King Mu of Zhou"; " pointed out in more detail: "The country with the same surname in Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by Qi. According to Emperor Mu's biography, it was the country of Sheng Ji. In Gongyang's biography, the success was surrendered to Qi's master. There was Situ Shengji, Runan and Liang Guo." From the above documents, the origin of the Sheng family is clear. At the same time, according to the "Manuscript of the Words and Deeds of Mingxian Clan": "Looking out to Runan and the Liang Kingdom", this manuscript is a work of the Tang Dynasty. It can be seen that during the Tang Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago, the descendants of this branch of the Ji surname were mainly Active in Henan and Sichuan areas in northern my country. However, in the earlier Eastern Han Dynasty, the scope of activities of the Sheng family was no longer limited to Henan and Sichuan. At that time, they were also found in Yunnan in southern my country. At that time, they had a connection with the famous minister Sima Xiangru. , according to historical records, they are from Yeyu, who are now people from Dali County, Yunnan Province. Sheng Lan left his name in history by asking Sima Xiangru about the method of writing poems. It is said that he was very conceited. After asking Sima Xiangru for advice, he never dared to write poems again. The Sheng surname is not among the top 100 surnames in both mainland China and Taiwan. People with the Sheng surname live in all parts of the country, such as Beijing, Jingxian and Shangyi in Hebei, Pingyi and Dongping in Shandong, and Jianli in Hubei. Jing County in Anhui, Chongren in Jiangxi, Hejiang in Sichuan, Longchuan in Yunnan and other places. Shengxing ranks 270th in Shanxi Province in terms of population by surname. The surname Sheng is a relatively common surname today and is widely distributed. It accounts for about 0.07% of the country's Han population, ranking 159th. This surname is especially common in Hunan and Zhejiang provinces. The Sheng surname in these two provinces accounts for about 37% of the population with the Sheng surname in the country.
