The origin of Wen surname
According to Records of Historical Records Xia Benji, during Xia Taikang's reign, he was unsympathetic to civil affairs, neglected political affairs, and stood aside in political affairs. Taikang passed the throne to his younger brother Zhong Kang before he died. Zhong Kang was weak and politically dominated by the powerful minister Hou Yi. Later, Hou Yi was killed by Han Zhuo, and the regime fell into the hands of Han Zhuo. Ten years later, Zhong Kang collapsed in depression and passed the political power to his son Di Xiang. Emperor Xiang was hunted by Han Zhuo again.
From 2050 BC to 2020 BC, the Summer Palace declined, and various vassal states strengthened their territorial management one after another, and many small countries were born. Kunwu's home is located at the intersection of Hebei, Shandong and Henan, with a large ground area, and it is also divided into four countries within its own jurisdiction.
According to the Royal Table, the Kunwu family has four small countries: Su, Gu, Wen and Dong. Guo Wen is now in wen county, which is famous for its hot springs. All the cities are built on the Beiping Platform in Shangyuan Village, Wenxian County. According to the investigation by the cultural relics department, the Shangyuan cultural site is Longshan to Erlitou cultural site.
According to Wenxian annals and memorabilia, the founding time of the ancient prose kingdom is: "This place was founded about 2 1 century BC. Named after the hot springs in China, it is called Wenguo. " According to the chronicles of bamboo books, the founding time of the ancient Soviet state was: "The emperor was divided into thirty-three years, and the son of Kunwu was awarded to the Soviet Union."
However, at this time, neither the ancient kingdom of Wen nor the ancient Soviet Union was named Wensu, but both were named Kunwu, just tribes with hot springs and perilla grass as totems. Wen was born in the late summer and early Shang dynasty, and the country was ruined. Su surname was born at the end of Shang Dynasty and the beginning of Zhou Dynasty when the vassal states were established with Su surname.
In the late summer and early Shang Dynasty, Shang Tang rose up and destroyed Kunwu, the main vassal state in the summer. According to "wen county County Chronicles and Memorabilia", "In the twenty-sixth year of Xia Gui (Xia Jie Wang), the Shang Dynasty lost its temperature, and the temperature was the inner city of Shang Yang." The time of Wen Guo's demise was about 1720 BC, more than 3720 years ago. This is an ancient surname of China.
Wu's vassal states include four clan states: Wen, Su, Gu and Dong. There are articles in Jiaozuo today, Su in Anyang today, Gu in Puyang today, and Dong Shi in Heze today. Shang Tang established its capital in Xibo (now Yanshi) and set out to destroy the summer, which was separated from Kunwu's country only by the Yellow River, so Kunwu's home was destroyed first.
The above is the origin of Wen. Wen has two sources. One is that when the Soviet country perished in 650 BC, Perilla fled to the east and was called Wen Zi. His descendants took Wen as their surname (see Monument), and Wenwa was often slaughtered in the Tang Dynasty. The second is the family line after Jin in Guang Yun.
In 573 BC, after the destruction of the Soviet Union, Zhou gave Wen Ci Jin, and Jin sent public doctors to govern Wen. When Jin was in charge of military power, he took Wen as a fief and called Moon Hee. After the Jin Dynasty, Qi Huangong was afraid of him and destroyed his uncle. His grandson fled to Wen Yi and took Yi as his surname.
Because Yingzhi is a clan of the State of Jin and its ancestor is Tang Shuyu, the founder of the State of Jin, this vein is called Zu. Tang Shuyu was crowned king in the Tang Dynasty (Jin Dynasty) because of tung leaves, and his nineteenth grandson was (see Guangdong Wenshi Development History, Jin Genealogy, Wenshi Genealogy). Other ethnic sources are changing their surnames.
Migration and reproduction of Wen surname
In the history of China, emigration was mainly due to war and famine. The migration of Wen's surname began with the demise of Wen's surname in Shang Tang, but it was a war in the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty. According to Yuan Yida and He Guangyue, famous experts in surname research in China, A Wen's family moved to Zhao Wucheng in Qilian Mountain in the western regions in the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty.
It can be seen from this migration of the Wen family that they had already moved out of the warm place in the late summer and early Shang Dynasty, first moved to the present places of Shanxi and Shaanxi, and then moved to the present Zhaowucheng in Gansu in the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty.
Wen, who arrived in Zhaowucheng, Qilian Mountain, was later resisted by Huns and continued to move westward into Xinjiang, but was also resisted by Tubo people. The last part of Wen people flowed to the south of Xinjiang, and then Wensu country was established; The other, the Wen people, crossed the Green Ridge and entered Russia, blending in with other races.
From the Shang Dynasty, Wen people migrated to various places, further and further to Inner Mongolia, Ningxia and Liaoning in the north. However, they never forget that they are Wen people, and gradually formed later people with the word "Wen" in their integration with northern ethnic minorities, such as, Wen Pen, Chi Wen,.
Wen's southward migration, a few of which began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, involved Wen Ji (see Wen's Development History in Guangdong). The large-scale southward migration of Wen began between Jin Dynasty and Jin Dynasty. According to the Biography of Wen Qiao in the Book of Jin, Wen Qiao was a descendant of Wen Jia and Xu Wen in Qixian County, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, and arrived in Zhejiang in the Jin Dynasty.
Wen Qiao later became the Duke of An Jun for work reasons and lived in Ganzhou (now Jiangxi). His twelfth grandson Gao Wen was naturalized in Yangzhou in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and Gao Wen's second son Wen Mu was buried in Wenzhou. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the descendant Wen moved to Fujian, and his descendant Wen moved to Shanghang (see the article Shanghang Pu).
In the Song Dynasty, Wen Dexing was appointed as the magistrate of Chaozhou, Zhangzhou, Guangdong and Qiongzhou, Hainan. He died on the way to his post and was buried in Baiyun Mountain, Guangzhou. His descendants breed in Guangdong. At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Wen family passed through the Pearl River Delta and dispersed to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces (see Wen's genealogy).
According to "A Brief History of Wen's Development in Guangdong", Wen Richao and others lived in Taiwan Province Province in the sixty-first year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (1722). In the 12th year of Yongzheng (1734), Wenming Ding and others lived in Taiwan Province Province again. In the eighth year of Qianlong (1743), Guangdong Humanities, Zeng, Lai and Cao settled in Taiwan Province again. Wen lived in Lianjiang, Guangdong, and Wen moved to Nanyang, Singapore.
From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, due to the war, the Wen family in Guangdong, Fujian, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places migrated to Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries in Southeast Asia, and now Southeast Asia has become a prosperous place for the Wen family.
Wen family culture
The clan culture of the Wen family is mainly embodied in the following aspects: spiritual style, famous county, hall number and hall couplet, family order and generation of characters, hearsay and allusions. They have obviously different contents from his surname and have the characteristics of their own surnames, which is also the reason why Wen's surname is different from his surname.
Wen's spiritual demeanor embodies the traditional virtues of Wen's people, mainly in how to be a man. There are six family instructions written by Liang in Meixian County, Guangdong Province in ancient times, from which we can see the leopard: First, honor your parents; Two harmonious brothers; Three strict conduct; Fourth, advocating thrift; Public interests and interests; After six years of virtue and brocade.
Wen's county is famous, mainly including: Hanoi county, where Wen's birthplace is located, indicating that he will not forget his ancestral land; Jixian County, there is a famous Northern Wei Dynasty Wen Zisheng; Taiyuan county has three words in the Tang dynasty; Henan county, there are dragons in Jin dynasty, Wen Zhongshu in Song dynasty, Qinghe county in Hebei province and Pingyuan county in Shandong province, all of which are places where Wen's celebrities are more.
There are many names of the Wen family, most of which are characterized by cautious pursuit of the distant future, promotion of the virtues of ancestors and care for relatives and families. They often use their ancestors' stories about Jia Deyi in their names to show their family background and inspire future generations. Mainly include: Guwen Hall, Taiyuan Hall (with place names), Sanyantang, Tang Shuyu (with ancestral names), Zhao Qiantang, Yaxitang (with good deeds) and so on.
The couplets of Wen's Ancestral Hall mostly express ancestors' deeds by artistic means, so as to achieve the purpose of offering sacrifices to ancestors and protecting future generations. Such as: "Only to reconcile the three sons (three words), the poem is beautiful and eight-pronged (literary)", "Elegant (born in Wen Zi), the rhinoceros brewed in Ming Dynasty (literary ingenuity)", "Six dragons are loyal and filial (literary immortal), and three words are magnificent and prosperous (Yan Bo)".
Wen's family order words, that is, one word in each generation's name to express' family order', are convenient for the difference between grandparents and grandchildren. For example, the Wen family in wen county hopes to strengthen the family: "Yongxing the world and revitalize the national jade base." The Wen family in Shanghang, Fujian moved south, never forgetting their ancestral land: "Taiyuan was the birthplace of the Tang Dynasty." These have obvious clan characteristics.
The hearsay and allusions of Wen are all formed by the historical relics that our ancestors are familiar with, and people from generation to generation will never forget them. For example, Erjie in Ancient Chinese Literature, Sanyan in Taiyuan, Now Burning Strange Rhinoceros, Eight Forks in Poetry, The Show of Six Dragons, Wenkou Becoming Famous, Ju Peng, Seven-phase Talents, etc. , with typical historical education significance.
There are poems and masterpieces in Wen's poetry articles, whether in the ancient spectrum or in the current new spectrum. This is a manifestation of inheriting people's culture, displaying talents and inspiring future generations. Many genealogies of his surname are unprecedented. For example, Wen Xun's poems by Qing Dynasty poets were collected in Wen Family Tree of Meizhou, Guangdong.
The compilation of Wen's Genealogy pays great attention to the origin and invites more elegant people to write it, so as to clarify the ins and outs of its branches. For example, The History of the Development of the Wen Family in Guangdong includes the Preface to the Origin of the Wen Family written by Wen Tianxiang, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, which discusses the inheritance of the Wen family from the local area quite clearly.
In today's Wen's Genealogy, we not only recorded the pedigree and its name, or copied some excellent poems, but also started the standardized compilation. They not only sorted out the contents of the previous genealogy, divided it into chapters and sections, but also attached importance to the textual research of historical documents and added a general introduction to the cultural residential areas.
It is worth noting that there are two couplets in the ancestral temple of Formosa Plastics in Shi Wen, which express the aspiration of not forgetting the Chinese ancestors and inheriting the national culture: "The ancestors of the Jin, Tang and Song Dynasties will be carried forward and the voices of 368 families will be carried forward." "Six dragons are loyal to filial piety, and Sanyanhong is the best in the world." Its wandering heart can be seen at a glance.
From the above Wen culture, we can see how much the Wen family attaches importance to and cherishes their own ethnic feelings, remembering the events of their ancestors Jia Deyi and inspiring themselves at all times. In recent years, Wen's ethnic groups have United with each other, which not only set off an upsurge of seeking roots to worship ancestors, but also actively carried out cultural exchange activities of Wen's in the world.
At present, wen county, Henan Province is actively carrying out Wen's root-seeking activities. They welcome the Wen family at home and abroad to worship their ancestors, carry out cultural and economic exchanges and cooperation, and work hard to achieve national unity, revitalize and create a harmonious society. During the activity, they deeply realized: "The flesh and blood are inseparable from the Chinese soul, and the blood ties warm people's hearts. Even if you drift overseas, you will never forget your ancestors in ancient Chinese. "
According to wen county Surname History and Culture Research Association, wen county Municipal People's Government, the World Wen's Cultural Exchange Conference (the venue is in Hong Kong), the Central Plains Surname History and Culture Research Association and the China Surname Research Center (in Beijing) are actively preparing for the "Second World Wen's Cultural Exchange Conference and the First World Wen's Rooting Friendship Association" in 2005 10 to 16. At that time, the Wen family at home and abroad will hold the "4040th Anniversary Conference of the Birth of the Ancient Wen Kingdom" in front of the ancestral grave, realizing the first happy dream of the Wen family after more than 3,700 years of migration. )
