Question 7: Who are the ancestors of the Wang family? There are five main sources of the surname Wang: 1. It comes from the surname Ji. This in turn gave rise to three clans with the Ji surname that constitute the main body of the Wang family: 1. Descendants of Bi Gonggao, the fifteenth son of King Wen of Zhou. According to "Tongzhi? Clan Briefing" and "New Tang Book? Genealogy List of Prime Ministers", Bi Gonggao was the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou. At the beginning of Zhou Dynasty, he was granted the title of Duke in Bi (now northwest of Xianyang, Shaanxi Province), so Historically known as Bi Gonggao. In the Spring and Autumn Period, his grandson Bi Wan left Bi State and went to Jin Dynasty. He became a Situ and was entrusted to Wei. He passed it to Wei Wenhou Si and divided Jin State with Zhao and Han. In 225 BC, it was destroyed by Qin, and its descendants were scattered. Because they were the king's descendants, they were all called the Wang family. Ji's surname was a famous and popular surname in the pre-Qin period. After King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty lasted for three and a half centuries. The ancestor of the Ji surname is Houji recorded in historical records. Legend has it that Hou Ji's mother was named Jiang Yuan. Once she went to the wild and saw a huge human footprint. She was very curious because she had never seen such a huge footprint. She walked over and stepped on the huge footprint to see how much bigger it was than her own foot. Unexpectedly, she became pregnant after stepping on it, and later gave birth to a boy. Jiang originally thought that the boy was not a good omen, so he threw him on the street, hoping that the passing cows and horses would trample him to death. Unexpectedly, when the cows and horses saw the child, they all took a detour. Jiang Yuan wanted to throw him away in the forest again, but there were people everywhere she went, so she failed. Finally Jiang Yuan came to a ditch. It was winter and the water in the ditch was frozen. Jiang Yuan put him on the ice and wanted to freeze him to death. Just then, another big bird flew over. It lay on the ice and used its huge wings to protect the child. Jiang originally thought that the child was protected by gods and was not an ordinary person, so he gave up the plan of abandoning him and took him home to raise him. Because this child had been abandoned, the child's name was abandoned. Because he was good at growing grains, Qi was promoted to be a farmer during the reign of Emperor Yao. After Shun succeeded to the throne, he was granted the title of Houji in Tai (southwest of today's Wugong County, Shaanxi Province), and his surname was Ji. In the third generation after Hou Ji, a man named Gong Liu came out of the Ji tribe, which made the Ji tribe develop rapidly. This was the early stage of the establishment of the Yin and Shang dynasties. In the ninth generation after Gong Liu, another person named Gu Gongfu came out of the Ji tribe. At that time, the local Rongdi people often invaded the Ji tribe. In order to avoid conflicts with them, Gu Gongfu led the tribe to migrate from Bin (southwest of Xunyi County, Shaanxi Province today) to Qishan (northeast of today's Qishan County, Shaanxi Province). underfoot. Ancient Gong Xuanfu led the tribe to build cities and houses here, and established a bureaucracy to manage tribal affairs, thus achieving the scale of a country. The grandson of Gu Gongfu is the famous Zhou Wen King Jichang in history. At that time, it was during the brutal reign of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. Ji Chang practiced benevolence and treated virtuous officials with courtesy, which was in sharp contrast to him. Ji Zhou's power continued to develop, and he successively conquered some surrounding small countries, and moved the capital east to Fengyi (today's west bank of the Feng River in the northwest of Chang'an County, Shaanxi Province). By the time King Wu of Zhou Jifa finally overthrew the Yin Shang Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty. King Wu of Zhou had many brothers, one of whom was named Gao and was the 15th son of King Wen. Ji Gao played an important role in King Wu's destruction of Shang and the political life of the early Zhou Dynasty. After King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he held a solemn ceremony to enter the Shang capital. After entering the city, Ji Gao was ordered to open the prison of the Yin Shang Dynasty and release the people detained there. Then he took over the Shang Dynasty's institution in charge of music and etiquette.
Therefore, when King Wu enfeoffed the princes, Ji Gao was enfeoffed in Bi (now northwest of Xianyang, Shaanxi Province), so he was also called Bi Gonggao. King Wu died and King Cheng was established. When King Cheng was about to die, he summoned Duke Zhao and Duke Bi and asked them to assist Prince Zhao. When King Cheng died, Prince Zhao was established and became King Kang. I don't know how many generations later, Bi Gonggao's descendants lost their titles and fiefs and became commoners, and some even ran to ethnic minority areas. Only their surname changed according to the place - Bi. In the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, one of Bi Gonggao's descendants named Bi Wan came to the Jin State, and once again made Bi Gonggao's Ji family prosperous. At that time, Duke Xiang of Jin was in power in the State of Jin, and Bi Wan was serving as an errand under Duke Xiang of Jin. In the 16th year of Duke Xiang of Jin (661 BC), Bi Wan and Zhao Su led their troops to attack the three kingdoms of Huo, Geng and Wei and destroy them. Bi Wan was awarded the position of doctor by Duke Xian of Jin Dynasty for his meritorious service, and was granted a title in Wei (now north of Ruicheng County, Shanxi Province). From then on, Bi Wan and his descendants took the fief as their surname and changed their surname to Wei. In political struggles one after another, the Wei family assisted the Jin Dynasty, but also strengthened themselves. In the end, the Jin State was divided among the three families of Han, Zhao, and Wei, and the Jin State was destroyed. The Wei State established by the Wei family has always been one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. ......>>
