What surname can be introduced without saying "free"?

Chinese culture values ??modesty and courtesy, and "free from expensiveness" is actually a modern saying.

In social etiquette, when communicating with others, you will ask: "Excuse me, what is your surname?" (meaning to respect others), the other party will modestly say: "No need to pay, my surname is X." It means that it does not need to be expensive. In fact, before the Qing Dynasty, there was no such thing as "avoiding expensiveness". Generally, "I dare not, the surname of late students is x", "the surname of late students is x", "the surname of Xiaosheng is x", "the surname of Xiaozi x", "My surname is : "What's your surname?" The clerk said: "I don't dare, my surname is Zhan, and my single name is a Hui character."

Shi Xiudao from "Water Margin": "I don't dare to ask you two What's your surname as an official?" Dai Zong said, "Xiao Ke's surname is Dai Mingzong, and his brother's surname is Yang Minglin." "The Scholars" said the third son, "What's your surname, Mr. Taifu?" The man said, "My surname is Chen." , Cao Zi Hefu. "

"Lao Can's Travels": "What's your surname? Where is your official position and where is your duty?" The woman said: "My surname is Tu." Wait for the answer.

The term "your surname" first appeared in the modern "Yongzheng Swordsman Pictures" published in 1943. The old knight smiled: "What's your surname, buddy?" "Forgive me, my boy's name is Liu Er. ."

In modern times, the surnames that do not need to be modestly called "free of honor" are definitely "Kong" and "Zhang".

As the saying goes: A thousand-year-old family has its branches in the south and holes in the north. "Kong" naturally refers to Confucius (whose real name is Kong Qiu), while "Zhang" refers to the Zhang family of Tianshi Dao in Longhu Mountain. For thousands of years in China, no matter how the dynasties changed, the only true hereditary ones that remained unchanged for thousands of years were the hereditary Yan Shenggong and the successive Heavenly Masters. But I think not all people with the surnames Zhang and Kong are exempt from expensive expenses. It should be that the family members of these two families are not exempt from expensive expenses.

According to folklore, the Jade Emperor’s surname was Zhang, Zhang Jian, also known as Zhang Bairen. Born on the ninth day of the first lunar month. It is said that a long time ago, there was a country called Guangyan Miaole. King Jingde and Queen Baoyueguang were old and had no children. They were very troubled, so they invited Taoist priests to hold prayer activities. Half a year later, my knees are still weak. One night, the queen suddenly dreamed that the Supreme Lord and many gods were holding a red baby falling from the sky. The queen begged Laojun to give her the baby. The old man smiled and agreed, and the queen was very happy to accept the baby. When she woke up, she felt that she was pregnant. One year later, on the ninth day of the first lunar month of the Bingwu year, the child was born and the room was filled with light.

This child was the later Jade Emperor.

In addition, during the reign of Zhenzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhenzong forged the Dream God incident and named the Jade Emperor the Supreme Kaitian, holding the talisman and royal calendar, containing the true body and Taoism, the Jade Emperor, referred to as the Jade Emperor God, Jade Emperor, and Jade Emperor.

Since the emperor in heaven is Zhang, naturally mortals cannot claim to have the surname Zhang.

The other one is Kong!

China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, etiquette has collapsed, but Confucius came out. He helped the building to collapse, restored etiquette, and promoted Confucianism. Since the Han Dynasty, rulers have regarded respecting Confucius as a means of ruling their thoughts. Therefore, the surname Kong is a very noble surname in history. Confucius is the most particular about etiquette, and ancient society also pays great attention to etiquette. People humbly call it "the surname is Wang, the surname is Sun", but with only these two surnames, it cannot be said that the surname is free!

Confucius is the most holy teacher. It would be very disrespectful in ancient society to say that he is exempt from honoring Confucius.

Although in theory the emperor's surname is not as noble as the Jade Emperor's, in real life the emperor's surname is much more practical than the Jade Emperor's. In ancient times, giving a national surname (the emperor's surname) was a great honor. Therefore, giving a national surname was a solemn and prudent matter, and ordinary people would not grant it. Only ministers with great merit will enjoy it.

The famous general in the early Tang Dynasty and one of the twenty-four heroes of Ling Yan Pavilion, Li?馱醢郃僃ridge戂iao?颢钏?mulberry?醢畋妦Tu?青袄酢?/pgt;

So it is very noble to have the same surname as the emperor. If someone asks you, don’t say it. Don't be noble. If you dare to say that the emperor's surname is not noble, you may be killed.

Why Zhang? Because the Jade Emperor’s surname is Zhang! The full name of the Jade Emperor is Haotian Jinque, the supreme, natural, wonderful and wonderful Miluo, the true Jade Emperor. He is the master of heaven and earth in Taoist myths and legends. There are many opinions about the common name of the Jade Emperor before he became an immortal. Some say that he was called Zhang Jian, some said that he was called Zhang Bairen, Zhang Youren, and Zhang Youren. Anyway, no matter what his name is, his surname is Zhang. Therefore, when people with the surname Zhang ask you what your surname is, you cannot say "no," because Zhang is the surname of heaven. Saying that heaven is not noble means disrespecting heaven and earth. The ancients were very superstitious and were afraid of being punished by heaven.

However, in the long history of Chinese mythology, the Jade Emperor was not the ruler of heaven and earth from the beginning. His dominant position began during the Zhenzong period of Song Dynasty. Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty gave the Taoist Supreme Jade Emperor the title of "The Supreme Kaitian Holding Talisman Yu Li Hanzhen Tao Haotian Jade Emperor God", respecting a very special god and the leader of the gods of heaven. Therefore, before the Song Dynasty, the surname Zhang could also be said to be exempt from nobleness.

The last surname is not fixed. Then this surname is the imperial surname. In the long history of China, there have been many dynasties and many emperors with different surnames. Whenever a surname established a dynasty, then all the people in the world with the same surname as the emperor would have the same surname as the emperor. . Therefore, the imperial surname is also a noble surname. It’s just that things are changing, I wonder whose house I’m going to visit this year?

So, in ancient times, there were three surnames, which need not be said to be expensive. They are Zhang, Kong and Huang respectively. Today, feudal rulers no longer exist, so needless to say, there are only two surnames. So friends, if your surname is Kong or Zhang, when someone asks you your surname, you only need to tell them, my surname is Kong (Zhang). That's it.
