Why is the surname Qin, and his father and brother are all surnamed Zhao?

Why is it that Qin Huiwen, his father, Wang and his younger brother are surnamed Zhao, but he is surnamed Qin? Because it's just a joke that the king of Qin won the surname Qin. In 700 years, the family of the monarch of the State of Qin was Zhao, that is to say, whether Qin Xiaowen or Qin, or Qin Shihuang, was "Zhao Moumou" until the demise of the Qin Dynasty.

The so-called "one surname" is a "term" invented by some surname researchers to distinguish surname schools when tracing back to the source, which is used to clearly distinguish and evolve a modern surname (surname) from an ancient surname. Because many modern surnames have several origins, it does have a certain role to distinguish them with "one surname".

"Won Zhao" is the orthodox Zhao Han, which originated from the descendants of Zhao Fu, the leader of won Zhao in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Because Zhao Fu made great contributions in saving the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Muwang gave Zhao Fu his ancestral home, Zhao Cheng, as a fief. Since then, Zhao Fu's family has been called Zhao's, and its direct descendant is Zhao, the minister of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and later developed into Zhao.

Then why did Qin also win the surname Zhao? It turned out that the monarch family of Qin and Zhao Fu belonged to the same family: from the first monarch "concubine" to the first five dynasties, the famous confidant military commander "Elei", and Elei's younger brother Jisheng was Zhao Fu's great-grandfather. In this way, the concubines are Zhao Fu's great-grandchildren, all members of the Won surname. The difference is that Zao Fu is a noble and the leader of the Yi people. Non-ethnic groups were enemies and slaves of the Western Zhou Dynasty. One is in the sky and the other is underground.

Another reason that led to the disagreement between Ji Sheng and Alai was the war against Zhou at the end of Shang Dynasty. The Won family experienced great disasters and setbacks. Later, through the efforts and efforts of four generations: Ji Sheng, Meng Zeng, Fu Heng and Zefei De, the Won family was finally revived, even surpassing the glory of Shang Dynasty. In this case, the enslaved descendants of E Lai decided to take refuge in Zao Fu in order to survive. All this is a natural thing. First of all, whether it is Jisheng or e-Lai, they are a family. Even if modern people look for adopted sons, they still give priority to cousins. This is the tradition of China people. Second, after adoption, all parties concerned must become members of the new family. If they are not a surname, their surname must be changed to that of the new family. Except in special circumstances, it is generally not allowed to restore the identity of the original surname and the old surname. Such cases abound around us. Fei and his son recognized Zhao Fu as their ancestor and called Zhao after him. In fact, they "adopted" Zhao Fu and became his descendants. Then, of course, their family will always be surnamed Zhao, and even if they become rich in the future, they can't be ungrateful. At this point, many people in later generations are deaf and dumb, playing dumb, and shouting all day, "Why should my brother's descendants be surnamed Zhao with my brother?" With what? With Zhao Fugu's great kindness to Qin Zushang, with Qin Zushang's attachment to Scott!

So, who won the surname Qin? This point is clearly recorded in Historical Records, Yuan He's usurpation, Tongzhi, Kangxi Dictionary and Qin's family data: after the demise of Qin, some descendants of Qin public took the country as their surname and changed to Qin's. Specific information can be searched by itself to ensure objectivity. In other words, the so-called "won surname Qin" only appeared after the end of the Qin Dynasty, so neither the Qin Dynasty nor the monarch of the Qin State can be Qin.
