Little Farmer Big Star

Everyone was puzzled and didn't understand why Shen Cong said that "Zhao" ranked first in "Hundred Family Surnames", and it had something to do with Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages?

But they did not question Shen Cong's words, but were waiting for Shen Cong's further explanation.

Shen Cong did have the following, and after a while, Shen Cong continued to update Weibo.

In Weibo, he said that each of us should have some understanding of the character Qin Shihuang, know his surname and name, and also know that he thinks his credit is better than the previous three emperors and five emperors, so he adopts the "emperor" of the three emperors. , The "Emperor" of the Five Emperors constitutes the title of "Emperor", and he calls himself the First Emperor.

He is indeed the first monarch to use the title of "emperor" in the history of our country, and is a veritable first emperor.

Why do I say that "Zhao" ranked first in "Hundred Family Surnames" has something to do with Qin Shi Huang?

Because Qin Shihuang had a surname in addition to a "surname" and a "name".

Surnames and surnames have their own culture and inheritance. Before the Qin and Han dynasties, the "surname" and "shi" in surnames were actually different.

The surname is the origin of the ancestral examination. Clan, don't divide it by their descendants. So don't be noble or cheap, the noble have a clan, and the cheap have no clan.

Therefore, before the Qin and Han dynasties, people with status should be called "surname + first name" instead of "surname + first name".

The era of Qin Shihuang was the late period of the confluence of surnames, so for those with status, the title should also be "surname + first name".

There is also a saying that women are called surnames and men are called shi.

No matter which way of saying it is, it is said that at that time, it was inappropriate for us to call Qin Shihuang Yingzheng. We should use Qin Shihuang's "family name + name" to call Qin Shihuang.

Note that it says inappropriate, not impossible.

So, what was Qin Shi Huang's "shi"?

According to historical records, "The first emperor of Qin is also Prince Zhuangxiang of Qin. Prince Zhuangxiang was Qin's proton in Zhao, and when he saw Lu Buweiji, he was pleased to take it and gave birth to the first emperor. In the first month of the forty-eighth year of King Qin Zhao, he was born in Handan. In government, the surname is Zhao."

It can be seen that Qin Shihuang's clan was Zhao.

In addition, there are many theories about Qin Shihuang's clan being Zhao.

For example, the Qin royal family and the Zhao royal family belong to the same lineage.

For another example, Qin Shihuang was born in the state of Zhao, and took his birthplace as his clan, hence his surname Zhao.

There are many sayings and there are disputes, but the fact that Qin Shihuang's clan is "Zhao" can be affirmed.

Therefore, Qin Shihuang's surname is Ying, his surname is Zhao, and his name is Zheng. According to the name method of Qin Shihuang's time, Qin Shihuang should be called "surname + first name".

In other words, it is more appropriate to call Qin Shi Huang Zhao Zheng than to call him Ying Zheng.

certainly,

After the Qin and Han dynasties, the surname and the surname were integrated, and we have become accustomed to calling Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, and there is no problem in continuing to call it this way.

But we must know the relevant statements about Qin Shihuang's Zhao.

To sum up, in my opinion, it is precisely for this reason that Mr. Li Fan ranked "Zhao" first in "Hundred Family Surnames".

Shen Cong's explanation is quite detailed. The reason why he wants such a detailed explanation is to take this as an opportunity to naturally promote the surname culture.

After seeing these explanations by Shen Cong, countless parents and netizens suddenly realized that this was the case, and this really increased their knowledge.

Although this may not be 100% Li Fan's original intention, Shen Cong's explanation is absolutely convincing, and there is no better reason than this.

Li Fan's original intention should be the same.

Parents and netizens are excited. It turns out that there is such a saying about surnames. In addition to the surname and the first name, Qin Shihuang has a surname, and the surname is more noble than the surname.

So, this means that the number one "Zhao" in "Hundred Family Surnames" is actually a surname, not a surname.

Of course, today's surnames are integrated, and "Zhao" is both a surname and a surname, and it is not wrong to say that it is a surname.

But if you have to pay attention to it, it would be more appropriate to say that it is Shi.

This is the first "Zhao" in "Hundred Family Surnames", not the "Zhao" surname.

After realizing it, parents and netizens excitedly continued to discuss on the Internet, discussing and discussing, and they gradually discovered that they had a very strong interest in surnames.

Before that, they never imagined that one day they would be interested in surnames. It never occurred to me that there are so many sayings about surnames.

Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, surnames and surnames were separate, so how did surnames and surnames originate?

My surname is Zhang, why is my surname Zhang? Because my father's surname is Zhang.

Why is my father's last name Zhang? Because my grandfather's surname is Zhang.

This seems to be a joke, but if you keep pushing it up, you will find a problem, that is, the first person with a surname, his father must have no surname.

Surnames did not exist from the beginning of the world, but were of artificial origin later.

So, how did it originate?

Also, my surname is Wang, how did the surname "Wang" come from? His surname is Liu, how did the surname "Liu" come from?

I remember that in his related mythological works, Li Fan mentioned that the Yellow Emperor was surnamed Ji. Why was the Yellow Emperor surnamed Ji?

All the questions about surnames, etc., gradually made parents and netizens very interested.

And this is exactly what Shen Cong, Cen Geng, and Wang Xuemin said, the best opportunity to promote surname culture.

In Shen Cong's office, Wang Xuemin said excitedly, "Old Shen, Mr. Cen, the opportunity really appeared."

Shen Cong said with a smile: "It's to be expected, then, let's strike while the iron is hot and popularize our Chinese surname culture. Where should we start? Naturally, we should start from the origin of the surname. "

Cen Geng nodded and said, "Yes, let's start with the origin of the surname."

So, Cen Geng updated his Weibo and sent a notice, saying that he was going to start talking about the origin of his surname, so that all interested friends would come and listen.

Cen Geng and Shen Cong intend to use this method to give a general explanation first, and then explain in detail through other paths.

Cen Geng's Weibo also spread all over the Internet at the first time. Countless parents and netizens were excited for a while. They had just developed a great interest in the origin of the surname. Cen Geng came to explain to them immediately. It's so perfect.

"Haha! Mr. Cen must have heard our hearts and came to explain it to us so soon. Thanks to Mr. Cen, I can't wait."

"The origin of the surname should be traced back to a very long time ago. I look forward to Elder Cen's explanation."

"I can't wait, let's get started."

"..."

Countless people were discussing excitedly while preparing to listen.

And Cen Geng's explanation also officially started.
