Open classification: folklore, history and surname culture

First, the origin of surnames

Yan (Yān) surname has three sources:

1, from the surname Ji, is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor and takes the country name as his surname. The Yellow Emperor was the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty. After the destruction of the Shang Dynasty, it was named Yan State, established Yan State, and set its capital in Hebei (now Beijing). Historically, it is different from Yan State in Yanjin, and is called Beiyan. Zhao Gong sent his eldest son to manage the affairs of the State of Yan, while he stayed in the capital, Haojing, to assist the government. The descendants of Zhao Gong's eldest son inherited forty-three generations of Yan Army. After Yan was destroyed by Qin, the descendants of Yan Gong took the original country name as their surname and called it Yan surname.

2, from the surname, take the country name as the surname. One of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor is called Bo Shu. During the Shang Dynasty, it was sealed in Yan (now northeast of Yanjin County, Henan Province) and established Yan State. Historically, it was called Southern Yan, which was different from Yan State in Jidi. Later, Southern Yan was destroyed, and uncle's descendants took the original name of this country and called it Yan.

3. The Xianbei people from the ancient north have Yan.

The ancestor of Zhao. In China, the Yan family takes the country as the surname, and the Yan country is named after Yanshan. According to historians' research, more than 3,000 years ago, Zhou Tianzi made a vassal and made a contribution to Zhao Yuji. When Zhao Gong visited his fief, he was attracted by the majestic Yanshan Mountains and named his country "Yan". Yan was not destroyed by Qin Shihuang until the end of the Warring States period. From then on, the Yan clan took the name of the old country as the surname, and the world called it the Yan clan. Yan surname has a history of about 2200 years. The origin of Yan's family, according to the Record of Famous Men's Words and Actions, Yan's family came from a family name and was a descendant of Zhao recorded in Historical Records. It's the same surname as Zhou. It was enfeoffed in Yan State and spread all over the country for 42 years. Until Wang Xi's generation was destroyed by the state of Qin, all the descendants took the country as their surname. There was a hero named Hou Yancang in Yicheng in the Han Dynasty, and a corps commander named Yan Yuan in the later Han Dynasty. Noble families come from Shanggu and Fanyang. Therefore, the descendants of Yan called Gong Yuan the ancestor of Yan.

Second, migration distribution.

(Missing) Yan is not in the top 100 in Taiwan Province Province. Yan surname comes from Ji surname. After Zhou Wuwang and Ji Fa defeated the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, they were enfeoffed by various governors. Among them, a nobleman named Shuangji became king in Yan Di (now northern Hebei Province and western Liaoning Province). Later, at the end of the Warring States period, Yan was destroyed by Qin. The descendants took the country name as their surname, called Yan, and formed a surname of Yan. There is also a Yan surname that can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty. At that time, a nobleman named Bo Shu was sent to Yan Di (now Yanjin County, Henan Province) and established the State of Yan. Uncle's descendants also took Yan as their surname, which is another source of Yan's surname today. In ancient times, most of Yan's aristocratic families came from Shanggu. It should be noted that in the Zhou Dynasty, there were actually two Yan States. The above Yan State from Zhao Gong was called Beiyan, and there was a Southern Yan, located in the west of Jixian County, Henan Province, which was a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. Southern Yan and Beiyan in the pre-Qin period were two different countries. One was handed down from generation to generation by his son Zhao, and the other was handed down by Xuanyuan of the Yellow Emperor. But their origins, traced back to the source, are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor's Ji surname. But Southern Yan is not as long as Beiyan. According to the genealogy, the descendants of Zhao take the country as their surname, and there are descendants of the Yellow Emperor. This country dies first, and it also takes the country as its surname. Noble families lived in Fanyang County, which is now Jixian County, Hebei Province. Yan's name became more prominent after he stepped onto the historical stage. During the Spring and Autumn Period, He Yan, one of Confucius' disciples, was posthumously named Yang Yushu. Shangguan Jie's rebellion was first discovered in the Han Dynasty, and it was later named Yancang, the hero of the Duke of Xuancheng. After the Great Migration of the Han Dynasty, Yan moved south, which made Tu, an ancient surname from Hebei and Henan, grow and develop in the south of China, just like Wen Gui, a painter of the Northern Song Dynasty (now Jiangsu). Yan Feng, the general of Zhenyuan in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yan Chong, the satrap of Hanoi, Yan Song, the general of Anal in Sui Dynasty, Yan Da, the Chinese ambassador to Song Dynasty, Yan Wengui, the painter and Yan Su, the inventor of metrology, are all celebrities with Yan surname.

Third, historical celebrities.

Yan Jidao: Zisi is one of the seventy-two sages of Confucius. Zhou Jing Wang Jigui was born in Yan Jiashan, Shuigou Town, Qianyang County in the 14th year (54 BC1).

However, because my son is young and has a long journey, he can't make it. Yanji took his wife home at the age of 18, and was virtuous and polite. From 19 to 20, unfortunately, my parents died one after another. At the age of 22, he followed his father's wishes and went to Qufu, Shandong Province to join the "Xingtan" as an apprentice. At the age of 23, he followed his teacher Confucius and his classmate Nangong and traveled around the world to inspect the official system and moral norms of Zhou society. In the words of Confucius, it is "seeking courtesy". Because the Zhou Dynasty was established by the Duke of Zhou with the help of Qi brothers. Confucius led many students to Zhou, one for asking and learning etiquette, and the other for spreading Confucianism and Qilu culture. Yan Jidao studied under Confucius and traveled around. Five years later, at the age of 27, he returned to his hometown. A family spent eight years farming and studying. At the age of 35, they went to the State of Qi to learn from Confucius. Follow Confucius here. I visited Qi Huangong Temple and paid tribute to the portrait of former overlord Qi Huangong.

This time he lived in Shandong for five years and returned to Qianyang at the age of 40. Yan Ji returned from studying in Shandong for the second time and began to teach in Yuyang (formerly known as Qianyang) (later in Peijiatai, Xiguan) and formally taught Confucianism. He started a school in Yuyang in 18, and his wife Zhou Ji was in the eleventh year (484 BC). After the death of Confucius' son, he went to Shandong for the third time and lived there for four years. When he was about to return, unfortunately, every time Jingshi died, he stayed in Lu and held a funeral for him with his classmates. After three years of wake, I resigned from Lu. He is 65 years old. He died of illness after staying at home for a year.

He was forbidden to be a military servant, and he was given the honor of worshipping classes in the inner hall to patrol Yanzhou and defend Huaining. Ten thousand people in Xia San rode on a thin city, but the battle was fruitless. When we arrived at the headquarters, we stopped at 500 people, jumped to the top, fought hard for the first world war and were invincible. He was in charge of the prison, and several handsome soldiers went deep behind enemy lines and won all nine wars. The robbers abandoned them and sent people to help them seize the trenches of the fortress. They were invited by thieves, and many people died in southern operations. It is not uncommon for Shinto to meet the enemy alone. Its westward ambassador entered the cabinet, led Yingzhou secretariat, and was the deputy governor of Qin Feng. In order to defeat the Qiang people in Hezhou, he lowered the're'. I moved to the east to be the messenger and deputy general manager of the cupboard door. I really admire the Zhongzhou secretariat and commander Long Shenwei.
