① surname

Kuang surname has four sources:

1, from the name of the city. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Shi Xiaoquan, a doctor of the State of Lu, was appointed as the satrap (southwest of Changyuan, Henan Province), and his grandson was named after his grandfather's official place name, hence the name. In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to avoid Mao, he changed his surname to Kuang. During the period of Zheng He, the court thought that it was extremely inappropriate to have the main surname in people's surnames, so it changed the main surname to Kang. After the Northern Song Dynasty, some Kang surnames were restored to their ancestral surnames, and they were still Kuang's.

2. In terms of country name. In ancient times, when Zhou Wuwang was in China, Kuang Su, a descendant of Kuang Hou, lived in Lushan to build a house, so it was also called Lushan Shi Kuang.

3. From the city name to the surname. During the Zhou Dynasty, Yi Kuang was in the state of Zheng (southwest of Fugou County, Henan Province), and most of the local people were named after Yi Kuang.

4. It also comes from taking the city name as the surname. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wei also had Yi Kuang (now west of Jixian County, Henan Province). Most local residents take the city name "Yi Kuang" as their surname, also known as Yi Kuang.

Get a surname: Kuang sentence must be. According to "Customs Tong", Kuang was originally a place name. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was a city of Lu, and every sentence must be the slaughter of Kuang. Therefore, its descendants were named Kuang. Genealogy also records that Kuang's ancestral home is a descendant of Lu Kuang's punishment. In the pre-Qin period, there were two other places called Kuang: one was a place name of Weiguo in the Spring and Autumn Period, located in the southwest of Changyuan County, Hebei Province; The other was Zheng City at that time, located in Fugou County, Henan Province. However, these two places called Kuang have nothing to do with the Kuang family in China. Kuang was born in Shandong, which was called Sheng in ancient times. The aristocratic family lived in Jinyang County, which is now Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province. Therefore, the descendants of Kuang should be the ancestors of Kuang.

Second, migration distribution.

Kuang's surname is not in the top 100 in Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province province. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the chief of Yi Kuang (now Changyuan County, Henan Province) was called Ju Shou, so it was also called Kuang You, and his descendants were called Kuang You. Kuang Heng, prime minister and scholar of the Western Han Dynasty, was born in Donghai (now Zaozhuang, Shandong). When I was a child, my family was poor and studious, and I didn't have an oil lamp to study at night. He dug a wall, borrowed a neighbor's lamp to study, and later became a famous Confucian scholar. The idiom "Digging the Wall for Light" comes from his story. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, Zheng's place name was (now Fugou County, Henan Province) and Weiguo (now Jixian County, Henan Province), and there was a man named among the local residents. It is said that among the descendants of Zhou Wuwang's subordinate Kuang Hou, seven brothers lived in a thatched cottage on the mountain, which is called Kuang Lushan Mountain. Some of the later surnames took Kuang as their surname. During the Spring and Autumn Period, a man named Xu Zhu was sent to Yi Kuang as an official. His name was Yi Kuang Killer. His descendants took his fief as their surname. Kuang lives in Jinyang (now Taiyuan, Shanxi). Danyang Kuang's family is divided into north and south branches. Kuangjiaqiao on the west bank of Nanxiang River; One is Kuangjiadai in the north township near the Yangtze River. During Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty, Kuangde moved from Taizhou to Danyang. The following year, Jing will move to Mengdu. At present, Kuang clan mainly lives in Daoshu Kuangjiaqiao, Houxiang, jiepai, Yunyang Town and other places. Kuang's celebrities include generals of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In the Western Han Dynasty, Kuang Heng once worshipped Xiang and named him Hou Le 'an. In the Southern Qi Dynasty, Kuang Xin was once called "a poem that can be easily interpreted by Su Mu" by the ancients. Danyang KuangShi has Jiaqing KuangJinyu and KuangYu in Qing Dynasty, and both of them are honored as Jinshi. Kuang Yaming is a modern Marxist theorist, educator and social activist. (omitted)
