Hundreds of surnames are "Huang"

According to the latest order of hundreds of surnames published in Contemporary Hundred Surnames, which was presided over by Yuan Yida, Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and edited by Yuan Yida and Zhong Weilun in 25, Huang ranked 7th. Hundreds of surnames rank 96th! As one of the important members of the Chinese surname family, Huang's family originated early and has deep roots. Her mainstream is a surname based on the country. According to Zupu's records, in ancient times, Lu Zhong, the great grandson of Emperor Zhuan Xu, had six sons, and the second son, Nan Lugong, was sealed in Huang, and established the Huang State (in Huangchuan County, Henan Province), so it has been 4, years since he took the country as his surname. That is to say, the compilation of Yuanhe surnames compiled by the Tang Dynasty records: "After Huang and Lu Zhong, they were sealed by Huang and destroyed by Chu, taking the country as their surname." Zheng Qiao, a well-known scholar from Putian, Fujian, also said in his book "A Brief History of Clans": "Huang won the surname, and after Lu Zhong, he was sealed in Huang. Today, there is a yellow kingdom in twelve miles west of Dingzheng, Gwangju. (Lu) Xi Gong was destroyed by Chu in the twelfth year, and his descendants took the country as their surname. " According to documents such as Chronicles of Bamboo Slips and Records of Brackets, the kingdom of Huang was a viscount marquis in the 21st ~ 22nd century BC, so it was also called the kingdom of Huang Zi. The so-called "Huang wins the surname" means that Lu Zhong is the descendant of Zhuan Xu, the son of the Yellow Emperor. Zhuan Xu was given a winning surname by the Yellow Emperor. Therefore, people surnamed Huang belong to the system of the Yellow Emperor and belong to the direct descendants of the Yellow Emperor. The so-called "after Lu Zhong", that is, the second son of Lu Zhong, Nan Lugong, was given the title of a food city in the yellow land. This yellow country existed for more than 1,5 years, and was annexed by the powerful Chu State in 648 BC, that is, in the twelfth year of Lu Xigong. This yellow kingdom has never existed since then. Up to now, in Huangchuan County, Henan Province, you can still find the ruins of the capital city wall of Huangziguo. Although the country no longer exists, Huang Ziguo's subjects and people are still obsessed with their lost homes, so they came up with a way: taking the name of the country that no longer exists as their surname, on the one hand, they can remember their ancestors with perseverance; On the one hand, it creates a spiritual bond for future generations that is not limited by time and space and can't be broken by any force. Therefore, since 648 BC, China has had the surname "Huang". Of course, in the long river of historical development, there have also been cases in which northern ethnic minorities and other surnames have joined the ranks of Huang surnames, but they are only individual cases, which are not as heavy as other surnames and can be completely ignored.

According to the research of philologists and archaeologists, the present yellow character, instead of yellow, is an pictograph, which is a kind of jade for wearing. Our ancestors, who loved to wear jade articles and made jade articles with exquisite workmanship, especially liked yellow. They were a clan that worshipped yellow and used the flaming bird as its emblem, so they used the yellow of pictographic characters as yellow and used the pronunciation of "Huang".

At present, many places in China use yellow as their names for place names, mountain names and water names, such as Neihuang, Waihuang, Huanggang, Huangmei, Huangshan, Huangshui, Huangchi, Yellow River, etc. Historically, most of them are places where the Huang people lived, and there are often more than one place, such as Huangcheng. In addition to the ancient Huangcheng site in Huangchuan County, there are two Huangcheng in Shandong Province and Huangluo City, the capital of ancient solitary bamboo. In addition to the world-famous Huangshan Mountain in Anhui, there are six Huangshan Mountain, Hebei No.1, Shandong No.3, Shaanxi No.1 and Jiangsu No.1; There are three places in Chaoshan, Guangdong called Golden Pond (two in Raoping and one in Chaoan) and three Huang Qishan (in Raoping, Chaoan and Jieyang respectively). The Golden Pond in Raoping and Huang Qishan are still Huang's settlements. The Xilamulun River in the upper reaches of Liaohe River in eastern Inner Mongolia was called Yellow Water in ancient times and later Yellow Water. According to modern archaeologists' research, our Huang nationality first lived in Huangshui area, and then moved around, passing through present Hebei to Shandong in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and then moved to the vast areas on both sides of the middle reaches of the Yellow River. There were three Yellow Kingdoms in history, one near Taiyuan in Shanxi, one in Huangchuan County in Henan, and one in the southeast of Yicheng County in Hebei. After the Jin Dynasty, our ancestors migrated to the south of the Yangtze River and the southeast coast again, and soon multiplied, becoming the descendants of the Huang family with a large population now, all over the world.

Like other surnames in Chaoshan, most of the Huang family in Chaoshan migrated from all parts of Fujian Province. According to the known genealogical data, a route moved into Chaoshan from Putian, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou along the coastline of the sea and settled in the flat coastal area of Chaoshan. Another migration route is from Shaowu and Tingzhou <: Ninghua, etc.), moved into Chaoshan along the Fujian-Guangdong-Gong border region and inland mountainous areas, and most of them settled in Chaoshan inland and hilly mountainous areas after entering the tide. Chaoshan area, formerly known as Chaozhou, speaks Minnan dialect, and a few speak Hakka dialect. Including Chaozhou, Shantou and Jieyang, and * * * governs nine counties. At present, the total population is 1 million, of which Huang accounts for about 8,, and its distribution is quite even.
