Xiao Le's interest in Chinese studies is seventeen surnames: Zhu. In the history of China, two dynasties were established.

Well, readers, last time we talked about Shen, a hundred surnames, and today we will talk about Zhu, whose surname comes from:

The first branch originated from Fu's minister Zhu, who was sealed in Zhu (now Zhecheng County, Shangqiu, Henan Province) and later became the "Emperor Yan".

The second branch originated from Cao's surname, taking the country's name as the surname (because the ancestor of the surname is Cao Xie, this branch is also considered to originate from Cao's surname).

The third branch originated from the son's surname and took the ancestor's name as the surname. After the death of his son Zhu, later generations took his name as the surname and called it Zhu.

4. Originated from the surname of Ji, taking the country name as the surname.

5. Originated from the Qi surname, taking the name of the ancestor as the surname.

6, from the change of surname:

(1) Xianbei changed to Zhu surname;

(2) the Mongols changed their names to Zhu;

③ Originated from other ethnic minorities;

(4) It comes from changing the surname and belongs to the surname given by the emperor.

Zhu surname is a typical multi-ethnic and multi-origin surname, which originated in Zhecheng County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province.

Zhu's totem is the national emblem of Zhu and the hometown of Zou Tu Chiyou. Zhu used spiders as totems, because Fuxi was inspired by cobwebs and invented gossip and traps.

Some people think it is based on the red heart tree. The description of Zhu in Shuo Wen Jie Zi is: "Zhu, red heart tree, pine and cypress." It turns out that the original meaning of the word "Zhu" is not red, but refers to a tree with a red heart.

Zhu Xiang family is another name of Emperor Yan, named as "Ancient Emperor" and one of Huang San by literature, and one of the ancestors of Chinese humanities.

Yan Di Zhu Xiang made great contributions to the development of Chinese civilization.

He invented the banjo, which was the first musical instrument in the ritual and music civilization.

Legend has it that when Zhu Xiang's family was in Zhecheng County, it was the time when the devil was at work. It is often windy, sand and stones are flying, the dry land is cracked, and the grain is not abundant.

Zhu Xiang's family was worried and determined to subdue the devil and kill the people. He called Shida and Dragonfly to discuss the strategy of demonization.

They think that the devil is an evil spirit, and evil will be afraid of integrity. The straightest thing is the string of the harp, so I decided to build a harp to subdue the devil.

One day, the yellow sand covered the sun and the devil came again. Zhu Xiang's portable musical instrument appeared on the stage, drumming in the wind. The sound of the musical instrument was loud and exciting, the strange wind subsided, the sky was overcast, and suddenly it rained heavily. Since then, people have lived a safe and worry-free life.

He regulates yin and yang, promotes the growth of all things, and is the pioneer of agricultural civilization in the Central Plains.

He created six books and laid the foundation of China's writing.

In the history of China, the surname Zhu once established two dynasties, except the Ming Dynasty established by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other was the back beam established by Zhu Wen during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

Hou Liang Taizu, namely Zhu Wen, was born in Wu Gou, Dangshan County, Songzhou (now Dangshan County, Anhui Province), and was the first emperor of the Five Dynasties Liang Dynasty (907-9 12 reigned).

Zhu Wenping Huang Chao forced Tang Aidi to meditate. After he ascended the throne, he longed for talents, promoted talented people, suppressed power, formulated strict military laws and rewarded farming. However, in his later years, he was extravagant and raped his daughter-in-law, which made the later generations have a bad opinion. In 9 12, he was killed by his parents Zhu at the age of 6 1 year.

Legend has it that on the night of Zhu Wen's birth, there was a vision in the sky, saying, "There is a red light rising above the Lushe." Red light can be seen far away. Neighbors thought Zhujiajian Island was on fire and rushed to Zhujiajian Island to put out the fire with buckets and washbasins. Who knows that when I ran to the door of Zhujiajia, a baby was born.

Zhu (honorific name: Zhu Zi) was born in Wuyuan County, Huizhou in the Southern Song Dynasty (now Wuyuan County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province), a philosopher and a master of Neo-Confucianism in Zhu Cheng. He founded the Kaoting School and revised four books: The Great Learning, The Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects of Confucius and Mencius.

Zhu was taught by his father since childhood, and he was smart and imaginative. At the age of four, his father Zhu Song pointed to the sun and said, "Today is also." Zhu asked, "what is attached to the sky?" Zhu Song replied: "Connected to the sky?" Zhu asked again, "What is attached to the sky?" A series of clever questions surprised Zhu Song.

Zhu (about 1 135~ about 1 180), a poetess in the Song Dynasty, is also one of the most well-preserved female writers since the Tang and Song Dynasties. Born in an official family, her husband was a grammar clerk, and the husband and wife disagreed because of different interests, which eventually led to his depression and early death. The existing heartbroken poems and heartbroken poems are handed down from generation to generation, which are the articles left after the robbery.

Zhu once wrote a "Circle Word" for her husband. There are no words in the letter, only circles and dots. My husband doesn't understand what this means. He saw the fine print "Acacia" in the spine of the book, and suddenly realized: "Acacia can't be sent if you want. But draw a circle. Words are outside the circle and hearts are inside. One circle is me and the other is you. You have me in your heart, and I have you in my heart. The moon will be round when it is missing, and it will be missing when it is full. The whole circle is reunion, and the half circle is separation. I'm beating around the bush, so you have to understand what I mean. There are countless lovesickness, all the way around. " My husband read the letter and rented a boat to go back to Haining's hometown early the next morning.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in Zhongli, Haozhou (now Fengyang, Anhui), formerly known as Zhu Chongba, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. During his reign, social production gradually recovered and developed, which was called "the rule of Hongwu" in history.

According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang was poor when he was young. On one occasion, he got nothing for three days in a row. Hungry and dizzy, he fainted in the street. Later, he was rescued by a passing old woman and brought home. He put the only piece of tofu at home on a handful of spinach and red roots and green leaves, poured a bowl of leftover rice and cooked it for Zhu Yuanzhang. After eating, Zhu Yuanzhang was in good spirits and asked the old woman what she had just eaten. The old woman took pleasure in suffering and joked that it was called "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup".

When he became emperor, he tasted all the delicious food in the world. Suddenly one day he was ill and couldn't eat anything, so he remembered the "pearl jade white jade soup" he had when he was begging in his hometown and immediately ordered the chef to cook it for him.

The chef had no choice but to mix pearls, jadeite and white jade and cook them into soup. After Zhu Yuanzhang tasted it, he felt that it was not right at all, so he invited a chef from his hometown to cook it.

The cook is very clever. He thought to himself, since the emperor is not interested in the real "pearl jade white jade soup", I might as well take a chance with an imitation. So he replaced the pearls with ichthyosaurs, sliced red bell peppers with flying (flying is ruby), spinach with Cui (Cui is emerald), tofu with white jade, and fish bone soup.

After offering this dish, Zhu Yuanzhang felt delicious as soon as he ate it, just like the old woman gave it to him, so he ordered it to be given to the chef.

After the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhu surname of the royal family was changed because of being hunted down and fleeing from the national disaster, and the Zhu surname changed from other surnames also changed back to the original surnames. Zhu's population growth rate is much lower than the national population growth rate. Now Jiangsu is the largest province with Zhu surname, accounting for about 15% of the population of Zhu surname in China.

Ok, everyone, today I mentioned a Zhu, who ranked seventeenth among hundreds of surnames. If you want to know what will happen, I will talk about Hundred Family Names tomorrow.
