Historical source
The origin of "Zhao"
According to the Book of Tang Dynasty, Zao Fu, the thirteenth grandson of Boyi, the leader of the ancient Dongyi people, is said to have given eight horses to Zhou Muwang and Zhou Muwang to go hunting in the western regions. When he came to Kunlun Mountain, the Queen Mother of the West hosted a banquet for him in the pool. She drank and sang happily and forgot to come back. She rode to Zhou Muwang and became thousands of miles away to stop Xu Yanwang from rebelling. Later, Zhou Muwang sealed the Jujube House in Zhao Cheng. Today, there is a north in Hongdong, Shanxi, followed by Zhao. "Hundred Family Names" was compiled together with the Song Dynasty. The surname of the emperor is the surname of the country, and of course it ranks first. In the first sentence of Hundred Family Names, "Qian Sun" means "power" and "money" means "money".
There are three sources:
1, starting from Jin. Sima Zhen's research on Historical Records pointed out: "Zuo Zhuan is the following country, and the surname is Gaiqi, so Qin and Zhao are less Hao." In the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Fu, a descendant of Shao Hao, was sealed in Zhao Cheng for meritorious service. Later, the State of Zhao was established during the Warring States Period. After Zhao's death, his grandson took the country as his surname.
2. I changed my surname to Zhao for ethnic minorities. For example, there were Zhao Anji (Xiongnu) and Zhao Tufu ("Na Man") in the Han Dynasty, and Zhao Guozhen (descendant of the county king) in the Five Dynasties.
3. Zhao Song gave his surname. Historical figures Li, Mu, Long and Yu Wen all took Zhao as their surname.
4. Take the country as the surname. Zhao Fu's descendants chose their father, the royal family of Zhou Xuanwang. My father gave birth to my uncle. Because Zhou Youwang had no choice, he left the Zhou royal family and went to Jin as the royal family. In this way, Zhao entered the state of Jin and later became a doctor. When Zhou Weilie was king, he was listed as a vassal. The founding monarch, Zhao Liehou, was a descendant of Zhao Shuai, a doctor of the Jin Dynasty, and was one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. After being destroyed by Qin, the Duke of Zhao was named after the original country and became Zhao.
Get a surname ancestor
Zhao Fu, a descendant of Shao Hao, was a famous horse trainer in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Fortunately for Zhou Muwang, it is said that he once took eight good horses to the king and went west to Kunlun, where he met the Queen Mother and forgot to come back. It's said that after the rebellion in Xuzhou, he rode the imperial chariot personally, carrying the King Mu for thousands of miles a day, and returned at the right time, which was able to quell the chaos and was sealed in Zhao Cheng (now Zhaocheng Town, Hongtong County, Shanxi Province). After it spread to Zhao Xiangzi, it was divided into three parts with Korea and Wei, and established Zhao, which was destroyed by Qin in 222 BC. Later generations took the country name as their surname, called Zhao, and respected Zhao Fu as their ancestor.
Reproduction and migration
In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the seventh generation of descendants of Zhao Ji led some clans into Jin from Zhou and flourished. The three kingdoms divided into Jin and established Zhao, which is called "going to Zhou Rujin and Zhao's surname began to flourish". By the time the state of Zhao perished, Zhao's surname had been distributed in Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, Shandong and other places. After Qin Shihuang destroyed Zhao, Wang Jia was moved to Tianshui, Gansu, and Zhao was exiled to Fangxian County, Hubei Province. At the end of Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo, a calm man (now Zhengding, Hebei Province), established Nanyue State, and extended Zhao's activities to Guangdong, Guangxi and northern Vietnam. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhao's sister was killed and the people were forced to move to Liaoxi County, which was also the beginning of Zhao's activities in Northeast China. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to escape Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Zhao Da, a native of Luoyang, took refuge and moved to Jiangdong. Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong were appointed generals in the middle of Shu. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tianshui-Zhao moved to Luoyang, and his descendant Sun Zhaogui guarded it and moved to Wuchuan (now Inner Mongolia). At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, a group of soldiers named Zhao arrived in Fujian and settled in the "wild chaos". In the Five Dynasties, a man named Zhao settled in Guangzhou with the regime of Liu Gong and Nan Han. According to the Table of Imperial Clans in Song Dynasty, imperial clans in Song Dynasty were divided into three tribes: Taizong (Zhao Kuangyin), Taizong (Zhao Guangyi) and Wang Wei (Zhao Tingmei). Taizu tribe is divided into Rebecca (Zhao Dezhao) tribe and Wang Qin (Zhaofangde) tribe. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Rebecca tribe moved to the following areas: Yingzhou, Zhou Shu, Sichuan (now Chongqing), Taizhou, Zhenjiang, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Ji 'an, Jiangling, Jiangxi, Nanxiong, Hubei, and Wang Qin tribe moved to Shaoxing, Huzhou and Taizhou, Zhejiang. Wang Wei was moved to Zhoufang (now Fangxian County, Hubei Province), and his descendants successively moved to Kaifeng and Luoyang in Henan, Yizhou and Jeju in Shandong, Tingzhou in Fujian, Kunshan and Licheng in Jiangsu and Xiushui in Zhejiang. After the shame of Jingkang, two cases of Qin Hui were exiled to Wu Guocheng (now the mouth of Songhua River in Heilongjiang Province), so Taizong tribe spread and multiplied in the vast area of Northeast China. At the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, Kang Wang moved south to Hangzhou and south to Zhao, some moved to Changshu, Jiangsu, and some moved to Shangrao, Jiangxi. After the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial clan of the Southern Song Dynasty fled to Penghu and Chaoyang, and then propagated in Fujian and Guangdong. Since the Song Dynasty, the surname Zhao has spread all over the country. What is worth pointing out is the spread of Zhao's surname overseas. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a man named Zhao who went overseas. His ethnic composition is diverse, and he lives in Southeast Asia and the United States. For example, the Zhao surname of Yao nationality is distributed in Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, the United States, France, Canada and other countries; Zhao of Zhuang nationality lives in Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and other places.
Zhao's migration history
1. Before the Han Dynasty, Zhao Fu was given the surname Zhao in Zhao Cheng. After arriving in Shu, he led his descendants to the State of Jin. Thus, when Zhao perished, Zhao was already distributed in the following areas: Zhao Cheng, Geng, Yuan, Jinyang, Dai, Handan, Wucheng, Calm, and now there are Zhao surnames in Shanxi, Hebei, Henan and Shandong. The territory of Zhao includes a part of present-day Shaanxi. During the reign of King Wuling of Zhao, the territory expanded to Hetao area. Before Zhao's death, Zhao's activities also included Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia today. After Qin Shihuang destroyed Zhao, he sent Wang Jia to Xirong, and Zhao moved the capital to Gansu. Zhao Jia's son, a descendant of Zhao Gong, lived in Tianshui (now Gansu) for generations, forming a noble family. Zhao was exiled to Fangxian County, Hubei Province by Qin Shihuang, and his descendants flourished in Hubei Province. Qin Shihuang moved to the nobles of the six countries and then went to Guanzhong.
Second, the migration from Han Dynasty to Song Dynasty. The descendants of Zhao in the Western Han Dynasty moved to Chiwu (now southwest of Boye County, Hebei Province), which originally belonged to Hejian, so Zhao was also called Hejian Zhao. During the Southern Dynasties, a branch of Zhao family in Tianshui moved to the south of the Yangtze River. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, a branch of Zhao family in Tianshui moved to Wuchuan (western Wuchuan, Inner Mongolia). Zhao Da, a native of Nan 'an, was appointed Minister of Finance of the Northern Wei Dynasty. His family left Nan 'an and moved to Luoyang, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty. At that time, in order to prevent the harassment of Rouran (two ethnic minorities in ancient north), the Northern Wei Dynasty set up many military towns on the northern border and chose nobles and officials' children to guard them. Zhao Ren, son of Zhao Da, moved his family from Luoyang to Wuchuan because he was guarding Wuchuan. Zhao Guicheng is the grandson of Zhao Ren and an important member of Wuchuan Military Group. Following Yu Wentai's invasion of Guanlong was one of the eight pillar countries in the Western Wei Dynasty. He made great contributions to Yuwen's occupation of Guanlong and the establishment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was given the surname of Yi Fu, was named King of Chu, worked as a teacher in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was killed by Otsuka, and moved back to Luoyang with his family from Wuchuan. Another Zhao family in Nan 'an, Tianshui, moved in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Zhao family moved to Luoyang from generation to generation. A branch of Zhao family in Tianshui lived in Nanzheng (now Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province) in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and then moved from Nanzheng to Luoyang. A branch of Zhao family in Tianshui West moved to Luoyang. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, a branch of Zhao family in Gansu moved to Luoyang.
Third, migration since the Song Dynasty. In 960 AD, Chen Qiaoyi rebelled to establish the Song Dynasty. Until the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty in 1 127 AD, the Zhao royal family kept the imperial clan as the county king.
