Exploring the source of wang xing
Wang xing source
First, from Wang Manshi.
In Shang Dynasty, there was a kingdom of Wang Mang, and the monarch was Fang Fengshi, Qi Shi and Yu Shan. The book Dialectics of Surnames in Ancient and Modern Times says that wang xing is a descendant of Wang Mang's family since ancient times, and Tongzhi Genealogy also says: "There was Wang Mang (also called Wang Wang) in Shang Dynasty, and its people took the country as their surname." According to legend, Wang Mang is a country of giants. Fang Feng is three feet tall. At that time, Dayu summoned the princes of the world in Huiji, and Fang Feng was late and was executed by Dayu. China people later moved to the mountainous area of Huzhou, called Wang Mang. During the Warring States period, Chu State was destroyed and Wang Mang's family was also breached. After fleeing to Shexian county in southern Anhui, he changed his surname to Wang, that is, Wang of Anhui. Second, from the surname Ji, and later the son of the Duke of Zhou. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Lv Chenggong's illegitimate child was fed to the king (in present-day Shandong Province), and later generations took Yi as their surname, that is, the king of Shandong. Zhang Shu, a Qing Dynasty man, said in "The Origin of Surnames": "The Wangs went out to Duke Lu first, and took their food because they thought they were the Wangs." Lu was the same surname of the Zhou Dynasty during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the ancestor of the Zhou surname was Hou Ji. Legend has it that he stepped in the footsteps of a giant, surnamed Ji. After commercial negotiations, Zhou Wuwang established the Western Zhou Dynasty. In order to rule this vast territory of Xinjiang, it is necessary to establish a vassal state to support the royal family, so the enfeoffment system was adopted. King Wu, Duke Zhou and King Cheng successively enfeoffed 7 1 vassal states, including 15 brothers with the same surname 14. The descendants of the Zhou royal family were generally enfeoffed and became princes. Bo Qin, the eldest son of Duke Zhou, was made Duke of Lu, with Qufu (now southwest Shandong) as its capital, the 2nd1Ren Guojun of the State of Lu as Chenggong, and the fief of the son of Chenggong (formerly known as Yu Ji) was in Wang, and later generations took the city name "Wang" as their surname. After wang xing followed Lv Chenggong, Wang Wan, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, recorded his magical experience in Wen Chao, Volume I, A Study on the Origin of wang xing: "I, wang xing, should be correct to take the surname of Ji. According to "Old Spectrum", Lv Chenggong's illegitimate child was born with a penny in his hand, so he was named Wang. Later generations followed suit. ..... My surname is Wang, so I should take it from food. Gai began with the land as his surname, and later took the land as his surname. " That is to say, when Lv Chenggong's illegitimate child was born, the words "water" and "king" were written on his left hand and right hand respectively, so he was named Wang, and later generations took Wang as his surname and stone as his surname. Anhui's Records of Qimen County Clan Textual Research is even more legendary: "wang xing started in Yingchuan Hou, and her surname is Wang, the second son of Lv Chenggong's black arm. The first mother's wife sleepwalked in Brunei.
(Now Wenshang County, Shandong Province, the capital of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period) Seeing the rainbow, I know it is auspicious and pregnant. I was 20 or 25 months pregnant, and I was born in March when I shook hands. My left hand has a waterline, and my right hand has a kingline, which combines the characters of kings. So I named it Doctor Lu Shang Manor, and Yingchuan thought it was my surname. "Third, wang xing, a minority.
Many jurchen surnames are recorded in Liao history, Jin history, Yuan history and Li dynasty records, most of which are disyllabic surnames. After Jurchen entered the Central Plains, influenced by the Han culture, she began to change her surname to Han, among which Gu Rishen and Wang were changed to Han wang xing. "Continued Tongzhi Genealogy" contains: Weng Guan in Yuan Dynasty, that is, Wang Gu, also known as Huangyan, took Wang as his surname. Wang Shixian's family was the surname of Wanggu tribe in Yuan Dynasty. Manchu wang xing
Genealogy of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty: Wang, Manchu in Qing Dynasty, now lives in Shenyang. According to Records of Manchu Surnames, some people in Manchu Eight Banners changed their surnames to Wang in Qing Dynasty. Today, there is a Manchu surnamed Wang in Longhua County, Hebei Province. Tu wang xing
In the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (137 1), Brother Nanmu led his troops to join the Ming Dynasty, and was awarded as the commander-in-chief for his meritorious military service. Brother Nanmu is called Wang Jie Jia, with Wang Jiejia's initials as his surname, and he is called King Toast. So his descendants and his people took Wang as their surname. The eunuch of the ancient Ming Dynasty, surnamed Wang, was a Yao.
In addition, Tujia, Hui, Xibo, Dongxiang and other ethnic minorities also have wang xing.
Fourth, Weng changed his surname.
Changing the surname from chaos to Weng is another source of wang xing in this historical period. Weng surname is also a branch of Ji surname. According to the records of Yuanhe surname code, in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the descendants of the branch were sealed in Wengshan (now in the east of Dinghai County, Zhejiang Province, and in the east of wengyuan county, Guangdong Province), and later took the city name "Weng" as their surname. During the period, the Weng family had a He Gong who entered from the Central Plains and lived in Puyang Happiness Lane (now Putian North Gaozhuzhuang), which was the ancestor. Introduced to the fifth world, gave birth to Weng Gan. At the end of the Five Dynasties, in the Tianfu period of Jin Dynasty (936), Weng became an official, married Chen and gave birth to six sons. The eldest son is thick, and the word "bo" starts. He was a scholar in the first year of Stegosaurus in Song Taizu, and Yuan Wailang was the official of Libu. The second son, Gong Chu, the word Bo Qian, was a scholar in the second year of Yongxi, Song Taizong, and the official worshipped the state's Facao; Sanzi is changeable, and the word is "Jane".

Four sons in the garden, the word "Bo" (enjoy), Song Taizu Kaibao six years scholar, official to Cao Chang; The fifth son is honest, with the word "Job". Song Taizu Kaibao has been in the same column as the four brothers for six years, and the official is in Dali, supervising the empire; Six sons retire, and the word "Bo Rong". In the second year, Song Yongxi was listed as a scholar with his second brother, and the official worshipped the court and scattered the lang, and the few States passed the sentence. Qi Rong, the sixth son of Weng's family, was called "Man Qing, Weng Liugui," and became a much-told story.

History of Wang immigrants
Wang's immigration history
Wang Mang in wang xing, Anhui in wang xing, Yi in wang xing and Shandong in wang xing were the centers of Wang's reproduction in the early history of China. Among them, Shanxi Province in the north has developed into a big family. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Wenhe moved to Xin 'an (now Shexian County, Anhui Province) and developed into a famous family in Xin 'an area. In the Tang Dynasty, Wang Hua became the King of Yue. I live in Shexian County, Anhui Province, and my family is very well-off. After the Song Dynasty, wang xing proliferated rapidly and became a typical surname in southern China. Moved to Taiwan Province Province.
As early as the Song Dynasty, the Wangs had already landed on the island of Taiwan Province. In the section on the development of Taiwan Province Province in the annals of Taiwan Province Province and People's Annals, it is mentioned that:
In the seventh year of Xiaozong Road in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 17 1), when Wang Dayou learned about Quanzhou, its territory was close to the sea, and there was a land of "tens of thousands of acres of sandbars, known as Pinghu (now Penghu)" in the sea, and foreigners often landed, looting things and killing people in the surrounding islands. In order to prevent harassment, at first, when the south wind rises every year, Wang Dayou will send troops to guard against it, but it is impossible to prevent soldiers from being tired and wasting military power. So I personally landed on the island, built 200 houses, and sent generals and soldiers to station separately, so the barbarians dared not invade again. Song people's Biography also recorded that he was the first king to enter Taiwan. Wang Dayuan, a navigator in the Yuan Dynasty, also crossed the Taiwan Strait from Quanzhou. In his book Island Island, he commented on Penghu.
The geographical environment and social conditions of Taiwan Province Province are described in detail. In the Qing Dynasty, Wang settled in Taiwan Province, and the first immigrants mainly came from Fujian and Guangdong across the sea from Taiwan Province. Taipei No.3 Factory
Wang Jiapu in the town said he was from Fujian. "Wang started in Xin 'an (Shexian), then moved to Wuyuan by Shexian, and moved to Xiuning by Wuyuan (now Xiuning County, Anhui Province), then entered Fujian and lived in tianmashan, Quanzhou. "Later, he entered Taiwan Province from Fujian. During the forty or fifty years of Kangxi (1701-1711), Wang went to Guling Jiaobao (now the ancient county of hsinchu city) to the north of Kenzhu.
In the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi (1720), Wang Yurun lived in Taiwan and performed a military exercise in the middle of the year;
In the seventh year of Yongzheng (1729), Wang, a native of Quanzhou, cultivated in Cuizhu North-Baojiu Gangzhuang (now hsinchu city);
In the seventh year of Yongzheng (1729), Wang Qichu, a Guangdong native, reclaimed land in Hongmao Port (now Hongmao Township, Hsinchu County).
In the 24th year of Jiaqing (18 19), Wang Fulong, a native of Guangdong, cultivated in Zuolan Township, Miaoli County.
In the 25th year of Guangxu (1899), Wang Chunyuan lived in Tainan City today and served as a juror in the middle of the year.
After 200-300 years of reproduction, today's wang xing has developed into one of the larger surnames in Taiwan Province Province. 1954, the Taiwan Province Provincial Literature Committee conducted a survey on surnames in Taiwan Province Province. Of the 737 surnames and 828,804 households in Taiwan Province Province at that time, wang xing had 1259 households, ranking first in terms of households.

Among them, Taipei County and Keelung City are the most concentrated places. Move to Hong Kong and Macau
The geographical proximity between Hong Kong, Macao and the Mainland has facilitated the immigration of mainland residents, and some wang xing people in these two places have also made great achievements. For example, Wang Suizhong, the chairman of Hong Kong Johnson Electric Holdings Co., Ltd., is from Shanghai. The company mainly manages and produces all kinds of micro-engines, and is one of the three largest micro-engine manufacturers in the world, with a wealth of $300 million from 65438 to 0996.

At present, there are commercial markets in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenyang, Xi, Ningbo and other places, with estimated assets of about 300 million US dollars.
Live overseas
1840 After the Opium War, China was reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, with political corruption, frequent civil wars, frequent floods and droughts, and the broad masses of people lived in dire straits. At this time, with the development of capitalist economy, especially the exploration and development of overseas colonies, the demand for labor in the capitalist market is increasing day by day, and people from coastal areas such as Fujian and Guangdong have moved to Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines in Southeast Asia. Wang clansmen who emigrated overseas have taken root in the local area through their own efforts, and some have made great achievements, such as Wang Dongfa, a native of Jieyang County, Guangdong Province, and the chairman of Thailand Sugar Group. Liang Yi Group is one of the largest sugar industry groups in Thailand, accounting for about 015% of the market. In addition to sugar industry, Liang Yi Group is also involved in finance, real estate, manufacturing and mining. By 1996, family fortune had reached10 billion US dollars. Today, wang xing people have traveled all over the world.
Brief introduction of Wang jiapu
Family travel is genealogy, also known as genealogy, genealogy, genealogy and so on. , which is specially used to record family members and their blood ties in past dynasties.
Fate compiling books has the function of distinguishing the kinship of family members, which is the product of feudal patriarchal clan system in China. With the reproduction of descendants within the family, a family will continue to differentiate into different generations and branches. The continuation and differentiation of this consanguinity was originally based on oral memory and inheritance. Ever since there were words, our ancestors began to record the clan's reproduction and inheritance in words. With the development of history, from official genealogy to folk genealogy, the recorded contents are constantly enriched and the functions are constantly increasing and changing. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, genealogy, like the county name and hall number of surnames, is not only used to distinguish the source of surnames, but also used as reference materials for recognizing ancestors and studying history, geography, society and folk customs. This is also an important part of surname culture. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, family status and blood relationship were emphasized in politics, society and marriage. The wind of genealogy compilation is on the rise. Not only the official genealogy bureau compiles genealogies of surnames, but also the people widely compile genealogies. At this time, Wang's genealogy was also in the minority. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the old gentry declined one after another, and many genealogies were lost in troubled times. In the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, private genealogy became popular again, and a large number of genealogies compiled by the people appeared. Almost every family has to compile a genealogy and rebuild it every few years. However, due to the influence of fire and water, there are not many genealogies preserved, most of which are from the Qing Dynasty. The Catalogue of China Genealogy published by Zhonghua Book Company in September (edited by the History Department of Nankai University and the Library of the Institute of History of China Academy of Social Sciences, 1997) contains 259 kinds of Wang's genealogy existing in books and archives departments all over the country, and the genealogy of Wang's collected by the Summary of Genealogy in Shanghai Library (edited by Shanghai Library and published by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House in May 2000) is 65438+.
