Legend from Xiqiao village
In Lijin Town, Lijin County, Dongying City, there are two villages named after the word "Qi", one is Xiqing Village and the other is Qijia Jiahe. More than 90% of the villagers in the two villages are surnamed Qi. "Our village used to be called Qijiamiaozhuang, because Qijiamiaozhuang and Qijiamiaozhuang are close to the river, which is easy to be confused, so 196 1 was renamed Xiqiao Village. In fact, in our view, Xiqiao Village and Qijiahe Village are originally a big family. But on the whole, the generation of people surnamed Xi 'an Village is generally higher than that of people surnamed Jia 'an River. In addition, because Yu's ancestors lived in Xiqiao, the ancestral grave is now in Xiqiao Village. " Qi Yuehai, secretary of Xiqiao Village, told reporters. When it comes to the settlement of ten thousand people in Shandong, Qi Yuehai also mentioned the Pingdu Shaliang Village at the junction of Jiaozhou, Pingdu and Jimo in Shandong. "I went there in 2000, where there are many people surnamed Wan, but the overall scale is not as good as that of Xiqiao Village and Qijia Jiahe."
According to Qi Yuehai, the surname of Qi has been a rare surname in the world since the Han Dynasty, but there are many talented people. Before the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were many military attache. In the Yuan Dynasty, the reproduction and development of the Qi family reached its peak, but it soon began to decline. In history, the biggest misfortune of the Qi family occurred in the early Ming Dynasty. At that time, there were three brothers in the ancestors of the Qi family, one was a general and the other two were. Later, Wen Jian's uncle Rebecca Judy launched the "Jingnan War" to usurp the throne. The three brothers refused to give in to Judy and suffered a disaster involving nine families. Fortunately, someone in the DPRK secretly tipped them off, and the three brothers were able to flee with their families and mouths overnight. From then on, North Korea began to suppress surnames crazily, which was very cruel. So people who changed their surnames were either killed or exiled incognito. Xiqiao village was deserted at that time, and one of the three brothers had fled here. Although it is difficult for people to survive in an extremely difficult environment, they have escaped the pursuers' sight, and people with their own surnames have been able to live here for generations.
"Listen to the old man said, in the middle of the qing dynasty, the northeast was banned, the court allowed the victims inside shanhaiguan pass to mow the grass in the northeast to build ZhuangLiTun. At that time, Shandong and Hebei were suffering from successive famines. In order to escape from famine and make a living, some people took their children to Guangdong. At that time, someone in our village went to the northeast, so now there should be people from the northeast with us. " Qi Yuehai said.
His surname was given to Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang.
Although all Chinese people are descendants of the Yellow Emperor, not all of them are given surnames by the emperor. According to China Surname Dictionary, the surname of Qi is a rare surname in history, with a history of more than 2,200 years.
Qi surname originally evolved from Ji surname. According to the Yellow Emperor Century, the Yellow Emperor was born in Shouqiu and grew up in Jishui, so he took Ji as his surname. Di Ku, surnamed Ji Mingjun, is the great-grandson of Xuanyuan Huangdi. After Ji Jun's death, it flourished, and some people lived in Daixian (now Daixian in Shanxi and Yuxian in Hebei). Sun, the fiftieth, was sealed in, and the fief ruled Qishan (now Shaanxi). After the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Han Dynasty and Zhao Wei, the people surnamed Ji, who lived together in the Jin Dynasty, moved to Qilian Mountain outside the customs because of frequent wars in the mainland, so they took the mountain "Qilian" as their surname. Jilin is the thirty-fifth grandson of Ji Rong. He has two sons, Qi Lianxun and Qi Lianyou. It is said that at that time, only a few elders with Ji surname still kept Ji surname, and most descendants have evolved into Qi Lianxun. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang set out to destroy the Qin Dynasty and compete with Xiang Yu for the world. Ji Lin led Qi Lianxun, Qi Yulian and others to Liu Bang, and made great contributions to Liu Bang's eastward expedition to the west. In 202 BC, Liu Bang pacified the world and established the Han Dynasty as emperor. Ji Lin was awarded by Liu Bang for his meritorious service in catching thieves and robbers, and was named Doctor Jinan of Qi County. At that time, the fief was the home of Nanchuan County, which is the Licheng area in Jinan, Shandong Province today. Gave me a last name at the same time. Since then, most people living in Henan have moved to settle down, and the surname Ji and Qilian have also been unified into the matriarchal family. Some people are too used to using the Qilian family, and they also changed to Qi. This history is recorded in Lin Wen's family history. Before the Song Dynasty, it was also a mother, and this compound surname gradually evolved into a single surname Qi, and Ji Lin was the ancestor of Qi.
Chongqing's surname is originally from Jinan.
Chongqing Qijiang is also one of the few places where Qijiang surnames live. The name Qijiang comes from Ji Lin's grandson, his mother, Fuzhou.
In the early years of the Han Dynasty, there was a rebellion in Sichuan, and his great-grandfather Liu Bang called his ministers to discuss countermeasures. At that time, his mother Xun was appointed as the governor of Chang 'an, and his son, that is, his mother, lived in Jinan with his grandfather for several weeks, studying and practicing martial arts. Mother Xun played the emperor, hoping that her son would lead troops to Sichuan to serve the country and make meritorious deeds. With the permission of the emperor, Fuzhou first led his children and dozens of people and pretended to travel from Jinan to Sichuan. After fully discovering the local situation, he called the people named Qi, got the help of the garrison commander, cooperated with the officers and men, and put down the rebellion in one fell swoop. Qijiang county records that "Qimufu Prefecture was appointed as Chongqing Navy (martial law name, equivalent to local commander)". Qi's mother, Fu Zhou, played an important role in quelling the rebellion, so she was enfeoffed here. Chongqing Qijiang was named after her family was blocked. Qijiang County is also named after Qijiang.
