Cen Geng's explanation officially began.

He said that in the ancient society of our country, the social and geographical environment was very complicated. People were scattered in various places, and people in each local group gradually formed code names and surnames with their own characteristics in order to facilitate mutual contact, distinction and communication.

The origin of the mysterious surname has become a unique treasure in Chinese culture.

Therefore, the origin of surnames can be traced back to primitive society five thousand years ago.

Surnames are divided into surnames and surnames, surnames and surnames are signs of a tribe, surnames are the main body, and surnames are branches.

In primitive society, the earliest function of "surname" was to distinguish human groups.

Why distinguish between human groups?

That's because in the matriarchal era, with the continuous development of society and productivity, people of the same blood gathered together to produce and live together, forming the original tribe.

In the era of tribal society, we gradually gained a new understanding of marriage. It was discovered that marriages between close relatives of the same blood, and the offspring produced were often unhealthy, and gradually realized that marriage should occur between non-close relatives.

Therefore, the marriage of men and women between various ethnic groups has gradually moved from the most primitive mess to cross-ethnic marriage.

And because it was a matrilineal society in the beginning, many people only knew their mothers and did not know their fathers. The children born from the mating of men and women can only be raised by the clan where the mother belongs. This has resulted in every tribe. Everyone in is an ancestral grandmother phenomenon.

Later, with the continuous development of history, the continuous improvement of productivity and the continuous improvement of production level, people gradually have a fixed place to live. For the sake of production and life and the need for marriage between men and women, it is also for each tribe to interact with each other. Distinguish, thus forming the initial code name surname.

This is how the "surname" came into being.

After the "surname" was created, one of its main functions was to identify the offspring of different races in the tribe, and to facilitate intermarriage between different races.

Therefore, the birth of the surname marks the transition from the group marriage system to the blood relationship marriage system, and is an important milestone in the progress of human civilization.

The surname is the subject and represents the origin of the ancestral clan. Therefore, the surname can never be changed. There is a proverb in our country to indicate that the surname cannot be changed. The generation is basically unchanged.

The surname originated from the matrilineal primitive society, so at that time the "surname" was next to the female character.

Among them, eight surnames are the most famous, namely: Ji, Yao, 妫, 姒, Jiang, Ying, 姞, and 妘.

We call it the eight surnames in ancient times.

These eight surnames are the origin of all surnames and are also treasures. Most of our current surnames evolved from these eight surnames.

"Eight surnames in ancient times?" Almost all parents and netizens have heard of it for the first time, which makes them feel a sense of excitement, especially the parents and netizens of these eight castes.

"Wow haha! My surname is 妫. There are very few people with this surname, and it's a bit uncommon. Many people don't know how to pronounce it? I have said countless times,'gui, pronounce gui.' This makes me quite A little depressed. Only now I know that our surname turned out to be one of the eight largest surnames in ancient times, and it was the origin of the surname. Suddenly it feels so awesome."

"My surname is Si, and this surname is also uncommon, and there are also many people who don't know it. The number of people surnamed Si in the country is estimated to be less than the number of your surnames. It seems that there are less than five thousand people. It is an absolute small surname. However, there is no Thinking that it turned out to be one of the eight surnames in ancient times, I also suddenly felt so awesome."

"My surname is Jiang, I only know that this surname had a great character in ancient times, named Jiang Ziya, and now I know it turned out to be one of the eight surnames in ancient times, great! Great!"

"..."

The parents and netizens of the eight major surnames are very excited. These eight major surnames are considered small surnames today, especially the uncommon surnames such as 妫, 姒, Ying, 姞, and 妘, but they did not expect that these surnames are actually the oldest surnames. Both have a history of four to five thousand years, which makes parents and netizens of these surnames instantly feel that their surnames are too powerful.

All are very excited.

And Ceng Geng's explanation is still going on.

Having just finished talking about the origin of "surname", let's talk about the origin of "surname" now.

The surname is a branch of the surname, which evolved from the surname.

We all know that the primitive society was a matrilineal society at first, but it gradually developed into a patrilineal society.

This is because with the continuous development of productivity, stronger and more powerful men have gradually become the main producers of society.

In a patrilineal society, people’s productivity levels have greatly increased, and their average life span has also been extended. In addition, the birth rate has greatly increased and the mortality rate has gradually decreased. This has led to an increasing number of people in the tribe, and the natural environment of the tribe The ecological environment is gradually insufficient to support the development of more population.

Therefore, some people migrated to other areas and formed many new tribes.

The original tribe and multiple new tribes have the same surname, which is difficult to distinguish.

In order to distinguish these tribes with the same surname, a new name was derived based on the "surname", which is "Chang".

So appeared.

The appearance of the clan makes a difference between the tribes that originally had the same surname.

Later, the clan referred specifically to the leader of the tribe.

For example, the Huangdi we are very familiar with is also known as the Xuanyuan clan.

The "Clan" here can only be a clan leader to be qualified to be called a clan.

Of course, there are different opinions about the emergence of Shi.

For example, in a patrilineal society, the number of populations is increasing, and the number of tribes is also increasing. If things go on like this, people will no longer be equal, but distinctions between high and low will appear.

This is the inevitability of social development.

There is a distinction between high and low among people, and then gradually there will be slaves, civilians, and nobles, and the whole society will slowly transition to a slave society.

At this time, some nobles added a surname after their surnames in order to show their differences from those slaves and commoners.

This is another way of saying that Shi has appeared.

Through this statement, we can know that nobles have surnames and surnames, while slaves and common people have surnames and no surnames.

Therefore, it can also be said that the emergence of the Shi marks the step of human history into a class society.

Therefore, women call "surnames" to distinguish marriage, and men call "s" to identify the noble and inferior.

The origin and function of clan is a little more complicated than "surname", but "clan" appears after "surname", which is a branch of surname and evolved from surname, which is certain.

The surname and the surname are the product of two stages of civilization in the progress of human society.
