  • Origin 2
Originated from "Gui" (the name of Shun's wife), female+Gui=Yao.
In the ancient tribal alliance period, the ancestors of Yan and Huang ascended Mount Tai to pray, and the sky was ten heavenly stems (A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui). According to the will of heaven, Shenzhou names five clans, and casts ten tripods, which forever inscribes Tiande. Among them, the emperor marked "Guiwu".
Emperor (Guiwu). Wu, the son of the royal family, is the royal family. Ren, the leader of the royal family, married Ding and gave birth to Wu and Ji, the son. The emperor's son Wu married Gui, which gave birth to the imperial family. The word "Emperor" (Xi, Shun) is the combination of Wu and Gui. Gui+E=Emperor (or "Xi", "Shun"). Wu wields an axe and a battle axe. Gui, Gui also holds an open compass. The tribe of Wu is very interesting. They call themselves "I" (variant of Wu) and "I" (homophone of Wu). Their leaders call themselves "Xi", "Shun" or "Emperor", and the words "Xi" and "Shun" are also the combination of Gui+Wu. The descendants of Gui offered sacrifices to Gui Nu and never forgot, giving birth to an important surname - Jiang. Jiang=Kui+Female. The descendants of Gui Nu called themselves Jiang. Because Shun married a pair of sisters (two Yao), he married two Gui (E Huang, Huang Ying). One of the descendants of Gui Nu added "Nu" to his mother's "Gui" to form the surname of Jiang, and the other's descendants added "Nu" to the left of "Gui" to form the surname of Yao. Therefore, the Jiang surname and the Yao surname are descendants of two emperors of the same father and different mother. They are both descendants of the emperor. Because their mothers are different, they have different surnames. Yao and Jiang both took their mother's surname, and both were descendants of Gui Nu. Yao Shi is the successor of Shun and Gui Nu. Yao's pronunciation is the same as Guinu's father's "Yao".

Migration transmission

The Yao family is a multi-ethnic and multi origin surname group.
Pre Qin During the period, the Yao family name was mainly active in Gansu, Henan and Shandong [5] During the Qin, Han and Jin Dynasties, the Yao surname was moved to Wuxing County, and the rest moved to all parts of the north and southeast provinces. The rise of the Yao surname of the Qiang nationality in the northwest and its entry into the Central Plains greatly expanded the number of Yao people. At the same time, the Yao surname from Gansu and Qinghai went south to Sichuan and southwest regions. According to the General Annals of the Clan, "Shun has two surnames, Yao Yue Gui. The surname is Yao because of the birth of Yao Xu, and Gui because of the residence of Gui Shui. [7]
posthumous title of the Zhou-dynasty founder After destroying the Shang Dynasty, he found Guiman, a descendant of Emperor Shun. King Wu married his eldest daughter to Guiman and granted him Chen. It is said that when the surname Zhongjing lived in Wujun to avoid Wang Mang, his surname changed to Gui. It was said that after the fifth generation, it was renamed Yao. According to the records in the Book of the Tang Dynasty, the Lineage Table of Prime Ministers, and the Family Name Compilation of Yuanhe, Shun, one of the five emperors, was born in the place of Yao. Later generations took the place of his residence as their surname and called it the Yao family. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and has been called the authentic Yao family in history. Therefore, the history called Gui, Chen, Tian, Yao and Hu "Guirui". "Guirui", an ancient water name, is also called "Weirui". As mentioned above, Emperor Shun originally took the surname of Yao and got the surname of Gui because he lived in Guirui. This is the origin of the five surnames of Guirui, so the two surnames of Gui and Yao were of the same clan and used each other. In order to strengthen the unity among his children, Emperor Shun changed the Yao surname to Gui, and the Gui surname to Yao. Some of his children changed their own surnames to Yao, and some of them changed their own surnames to Yao later. Some of them did not change back, so they issued other surnames. After King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he found Gui Man, a descendant of Emperor Shun. King Wu married his eldest daughter to Gui Man, and granted him the place of Chen (today's Huaiyang, Henan Province), the origin of the Chen and Hu surnames. Some of the original surnames were changed back to the Yao family later. Some did not change back, so they published other surnames - "Tang Shu · Prime Minister's Lineage", and some changed back to the original name of Yao: Hu Gonggui, a descendant of Shun, was granted the title of Chen, and Chen Jingzhong (Chen Wan) became an official of Qi, and then changed to the Tian family name. Wang Mang granted his kinsman Tian Feng as a sacrifice to Emperor Shun on behalf of the Sui Hou. Later, Feng Zi Tian Hui moved to Wuxing County to avoid Wang Mang's rebellion and changed his surname to Gui. His grandson, Guifu, changed his surname back to Yao. Wang Mang also made Guichang, the same clan, the King of the Han Dynasty, the first feudal lord. One of the branches of Emperor Shun has experienced many changes from Yao to Gui to Chen to Tian to Chen. Shangshu of the Eastern Han Dynasty Gui Hao It also changed back to the Yao surname, the earliest of its own.
”The Yao surname is one of the oldest Chinese surnames. After Emperor Shun ascended the throne, his descendants took the emperor's name Shun as their surname. Yu granted Shang Jun, the eldest son of Emperor Shun, Yu, and Gui Man, the 33rd grandson of the first ancestor, Chen, with a posthumous title of Duke Hu. Their descendants either took the state name Chen as their surname, or changed their official title to Tao Tang, or took the posthumous title Hu as their surname, or took the title Man as their surname, which evolved into the Han Dynasty, The Yao family derives from: Gui, Yu, Chen, Hu, Tian, Yuan, Wang, Sun, Lu, Che, and so on, 60 kinds, with the same family name and the same vein. Among Chinese surnames, Gui, Yao, Tian, Chen and Hu have the same origin, and their blood ancestor is the Yao family of Emperor Shun. The earliest source of the Wang surname is the Yao surname. Some Yao clansmen have changed their surnames many times: from Yao to Gui, then to Chen, then to Tian. Some Tian changed back to the earliest Yao surname. Some did not change back, but continued to be the Tian surname. If the Tian surname changed again, it was changed to the Wang surname. Tian Jiansanzi, the king of Qi: Sheng, Huan, Zhen. Sheng and Huan changed their surname to Wang. Their descendants were Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty, the empress dowager of the Western Han Dynasty, and the monarch family. This was a major source of Wang's surname. In 368 BC, Tian He replaced the surname Jiang as the monarch of the State of Qi. It was said in the history that "Tian took the place of Qi". It was said that eight kings were destroyed by the Qin Dynasty, and their descendants were abolished as plebeians. One of them took the surname of the king as it thought it was a royal family of the State of Qi. Wang Mang granted the Yao surname of his ancestors to Tian Feng, the same clan, as the Marquis of Sui. Later, Tian Hui, the son of Feng, moved across the river to Wujun to avoid Wang Mang's rebellion, and changed his surname to Gui. His grandson, Guifu, changed back to the Yao surname. As mentioned above, Emperor Shun originally took the surname of Yao, and got the surname of Gui because he lived in Guirui. The original surname of the people who changed their surname was the Yao family. Later, they changed back to the Yao family: the State of Chen was founded by Guiman in 1045 BC, and died in 479 BC, lasting 566 years. In the 41st year of Ji Beggar, King Jing of Zhou, the State of Chen was destroyed by the State of Chu. King Hui of Chu established Chen County in the original place and later became the capital of the State of Chu. The children of Chen changed their surname back to Gui. After being passed on for five generations, they changed their surname back to Yao, the distant ancestor, which has been passed on from generation to generation.
The History of the Han Dynasty ·According to the Biography of Wang Mang, when talking about his own clan, Wang Mang said: "The Yu family first took the surname Yao, Yao, who was called Gui in Tao Tang, Chen in Zhou, Tian in Qi, and Wang in Jinan." Yao, Gui, Chen, Tian, and Wang are all descendants of Emperor Shun. Wang Mang summarized the history of the change of the surname of Emperor Shun. After thousands of years of reproduction and migration, the descendants of Emperor Shun became a famous family and derived more than 60 surnames from them, most of which were Chinese big names. In addition to the Yao, Chen, Tian, and Hu surnames, there were also Wang, Sun, Yuan, Xia, and Lu among the 100 big Chinese names. There are about 300 million Shun people in the world, of which the Chen family name is the most prosperous, accounting for about half. At present, there is the World Shun Family Fellowship established overseas. The World Shun Family Fellowship is a global civil society and a root seeking organization containing more surnames. Today, more than 10 surnames, including Yao, Chen, Yu, Hu, Tian, Pan, Sun, Che, Lu, Wang, Yuan, and Xuan, participate in this organization.

  • Develop southward
The surname Yao developed mainly in Henan from its birth to the Spring and Autumn Period. Before the Qin Dynasty, the surname Yao had developed to Shanxi, Guangxi, Sichuan and other places. In 384 AD, the Yao family established the regime of the Later Qin Dynasty. The Yao family grew stronger with the addition of the Yao family from Longxi, Gansu. After the demise of the post Qin regime, according to the Jin Book, Liu Yu moved the Yao surname "Yu Zong to Jiangnan". Therefore, many of the Yao people in Jiangnan are descendants of this Yao family. Later, the family name Yao multiplied faster and spread more widely. Before the Tang Dynasty, it had become a prominent family in Wuxing, Zhejiang Province (today's Huzhou, Zhejiang Province) and Longzhou, Gansu Province. Later, a Yao family from Wuxing moved to Shaanxi. After the Tang Dynasty, the Yao family has multiplied more widely, and has spread all over China. In the Tang Dynasty, the surname Yao entered Fujian for the first time. According to historical records, when Chen Yuanguang entered Fujian to open up Zhangzhou, Yao was one of his companions. Among them, in the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty (621 AD), Yao Prefecture was specially set up because of the largest number of Yao people in Yao'an, Dayao and other counties in Yunnan. In the Song Dynasty, the surname Yao developed to Guangdong. The surname Yao in Putian, Fujian, was also transferred to other places [8-9] Yao Dongfu, the ninth grandson of Yao Tianming, took the surname of Yao in Putian. In the 28th year of the Song Dynasty, he moved from Putian to Chaozhou and founded the surname of Yao in Hengsha, which was derived from the surname of Yao in Haiyang (the old name of Chao'an County in Chaozhou). Yao Lifu, the ninth grandson of Yao Tianming, moved from Putian to Jieyang to settle down in the second year of the Song Dynasty. Later, the Kaizu in Xianyang, Haihu Village, Jieyang, was extended to the Yao surname in Jieyang. Yao Lou, the ninth grandson of Yao Tianming, served as the Sanren County Lieutenant in Chaoyang County, Chaozhou. In the ninth year of Song Chunxi's reign, the whole family of Putian moved to the west of Chaoyi City, and their descendants were also extended to the Yao surname in Chaoyang. The Yao surname in Putian was called Kunzhong. Three people created Sanyang, one Haiyang (Chao'an County, Chaozhou, etc.), two Jieyang, and three Haiyang. Since then, the Yao surname in Chaoshan has spread overseas. In the early Ming Dynasty, Yao Wuding, Yao Wukuan and Yao Wuguan, whose ancestral home is Putian, Fujian, and whose household is Guangxi, entered Hainan and became the ancestors of Yao's family name in Hainan. A branch of the Yao family name from Jiangxi also moved to Menghua (now Weishan County, Yunnan Province) in this period. In 2001, in Weishan Yi and Hui Autonomous County, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, a "Yao Family Tree" with the preface written by Ouyang Xiu, a famous litterateur and historian in the Northern Song Dynasty, was found, It was signed as "In Xinhai, the fourth year of Xining, the present scholar of Wendian specially entered Ouyang Xiushu, the prince of the State of Shangzhu, and the scholar of Liuyi". The calligraphy is covered with a square seal character of "61 hermit". From the genealogy and the preface, we can see that the surname Yao of Weishan was originally from Jiangxi, and their ancestors had become a prominent family in the sea in the Tang and Song dynasties. The 24th Zu Keming and Kecheng of Yao followed the Ming army into Yunnan and became naturalized in Menghua (now Weishan County) Ouyang Xiu's authentic work should have been brought into Yunnan in the early Ming Dynasty and become the ancestral treasure of the Yao family in Weishan. In the Qing Dynasty, the surname Yao entered Taiwan and began to spread overseas.
  • Develop northward
The Yao family name has also developed northward to Inner Mongolia, Liaoning and other places while developing southward. The Yao people have made great contributions to the development of the Chinese nation. This can be seen from the couplets of the people surnamed Guan Yao in the past dynasties. For example, "father and son are in pairs, and the brother is called Er Yao". The first couplet said that Yao Cha, a regular servant of the Sui Dynasty, was ordered to write two history books, Chen and Liang, which were not completed until his death. His son inherited his father's will and completed the second history; The second line refers to Yao Lin, the commander of the Song Dynasty, with the word Junrui, who built a strong and determined military force with restraint and used it with determination and ingenuity. He does not boast of his meritorious service. He runs the army strictly and his subordinates are willing to serve him. The two brothers later made great contributions and were called "Er Yao". The upper couplet said that Yao Chong, a famous politician of the Tang Dynasty, and his family had made great achievements in politics, Yao Chong As the official prime minister, he once served as Wu Zetian and the prime minister of the Xuanzong Dynasty. He was clean and honest, and was widely respected. In the early years of the Kaiyuan era, he was granted the title of Liang State; The second line refers to Yao Nai, a prose writer in the Qing Dynasty, who was born in Tongcheng with the word Ji Chuan. During the reign of Qianlong, Jinshi was a scholar. Participated in the compilation of Siku Quanshu. He has presided over academies in Jiangning, Yangzhou and other places for 40 years. Yao Naigong and Fang Bao are representatives of the "Tongcheng School". His works include Compilation of Ancient Chinese Words, Xibaoxuan Anthology, Zhu Anthology, etc. In addition, when it comes to Yao's surname, Lamei and Yao Huang Peony can't help but say. The Chimonanthus praecox in Yanling County, Henan Province is the most famous in China. In Yaojia Village, west of the county town, every family has planted Chimonanthus praecox in front of and behind their houses, and has always enjoyed the reputation of "the yellow plum of Yaojia is the best in the world". Yao Huang, the famous product of peony flowers, is an ancient variety. It is said that it originated in the courtyard of a Yao family in the Song Dynasty and is known as the "flower king".

The descendants of Emperor Shun in the world have more than 100 surnames, with 260 million people distributed all over the world [10] Historical Records· Five Emperors' History 》The record: "All the virtues of the world began with Emperor Yu“《 Shangshu 》As the saying goes, "Virtue comes from Shunming [11] 。” Shun, also known as Emperor Shun, Emperor Shun, Yao surname, Chonghua, is one of the five emperors in ancient times, and also one of the cultural ancestors of the Chinese nation. According to the Book of History, Records of the Historian and other relevant ancient books, Yu Shun conducts himself, governs the country and manages politics, with morality as the guide and harmony as the goal, and pursues harmony, peace and harmony throughout his life. The connotation of harmony is very rich. The World Association of Shun Descendants, formerly known as the World Association of the Most Filial and Benedictive Shun Descendants, is an international association of kin with the names of Chen, Yao, Sun, Wang, Hu, Yuan, Yu, Tian, Lu, Che, etc.
In August 1982, initiated by the Hong Kong Zhixiao Duqin Community, the first annual meeting of the world to Kao Duqin Community Association was held in Hong Kong, and it was decided to organize the World Zhixiao Duqin Community. On May 15, 1986 (the seventh day of April in the lunar calendar), the 4377th anniversary of Emperor Shun's birth, an enlarged conference of the World Association of Most Filial, Benedictine, and Shun Descendants was held in Taiwan. The purpose is to contact relatives, strengthen ties, promote world harmony, carry forward the spirit of kinship of Shun people with different families, and decide to hold fellowship conferences in different places in turn every year; The Secretariat shall be set up at the location of each sorority as the contact center to handle the affairs of the sorority. In October 1992, the 9th World Filial Piety Benedictine Shun Association Conference was held in Kuala Lumpur. It was decided to change its name to the World Shun Association and accept the emblem, flag and song formulated by the Malaysian Chen Family Association for the Association. [2] According to historical records, the Mausoleum of Emperor Shun in Jiuyi Mountain, also known as "Lingling", is the oldest imperial mausoleum in China's history. Sacrifice to Emperor Shun began in the Xia Dynasty and has been passed down from dynasty to dynasty. Today, Emperor Shun's Mausoleum has become an important carrier for Chinese people at home and abroad to remember their ancestors and their ancestors. Every year, more than 1 million people from home and abroad go to Jiuyi Mountain to seek their roots and visit their ancestors. The public memorial ceremony for Emperor Shun is a national intangible cultural heritage.
Emperor Shun was one of the five emperors in ancient China and the founder of Chinese moral culture. For more than 4000 years, Emperor Shun's Mausoleum in Jiuyi Mountain has been a place for ancestor worship and pilgrimage. [12-13] The theme of this festival to Shun is "filial piety, loyalty, virtue, world Shun descendants, dreams of Jiuyi" and "carrying forward the moral spirit of Emperor Shun and building Yongzhou with quality and vitality". More than 10000 people from all walks of life in Ningyuan County attended the ceremony, including representatives of the World Shun Family Friendship Association, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the People's Republic of China, the National Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, heads of the Ministry of Culture and relevant provincial departments, representatives from all walks of life in Yongzhou City, representatives of the seminar on "Shun Culture and the Chinese Dream", representatives from the tourism industry and the media, Fujian Shun worship representatives, and performance teams. The music and dance of the funeral ceremony consists of three movements: Xiao Shao attracting the phoenix, Qing Yun singing, and "South Wind" praying. "Xiao Shao attracting the phoenix" deduces the legend that Emperor Shun used Shao music to educate people, domesticate animals, and attract the phoenix to live in Jiuyi Mountain. "Qingyun Songs" praises Emperor Shun's great achievements in virtue and filial piety. "Pray for the South Wind" reappears the magnificent praying scene in ancient times, praying that heaven will bless Hunan and the country will be prosperous. The immortal music is leisurely, the dance steps are moving, the Shun virtue is eulogized for a long time, and the ages are everlasting.
At first, Yu Shun's way of harmony was embodied in his thought of "family harmony". Because of his noble character and ability to convince others by virtue, Yu Shun was later selected as the tribal leader by Yao. After Yu Shun acted as the "Son of Heaven" on behalf of Yao, he paid more attention to moralizing the people, being diligent and loving the people, so as to achieve harmony with the world.

Totem culture

Peach wood is a sundial pole [15] The "omen" is "peach". It is said that Kua Fu used peach wood as the scepter, Yangping as the peach capital (Yao Xu, now the south of Fan County, Henan Province), and big peach wood as the sundial (r ì gu ǐ) (a device that uses the shadow cast by the sun to determine the time). He chased the sun in Taolin Pass (today's Lingbao in western Henan Province). This is the story of "Kua Fu chasing the sun".
Yao's Totem
In ancient times, the shadow of the sundial moves in the shape of "S", that is, "Er" of "Zhao". There are four seasons where heaven and earth meet at noon. It is recorded as "X" symbol. It is written together with "Er" as "Zhao". Next to "Nu", it means that it originates from the female ancestors of the father's family. "Zhao" and "female" combine to become "Yao".
Therefore, when the Chinese character "Yao" is taken apart, "Zhao" should be its original meaning, while women are the traces left by the matriarchal clan society. In ancient times, when divining, the tortoise shell was burned by fire, and the cracks in the tortoise shell were observed to account for good or bad luck, which became an omen or augury, and extended to an omen, meaning to be a prophet. Because Yao Xu, where Yu Shun lived, was rich in peaches, peach trees became the sacred and social trees of Yao people. Yao people inserted peach branches on the door and raised peach broomsticks to guide the way to ward off ghosts and exorcism. Later, objects made of peach trees evolved into tools for wizards, Taoists and other professions.
As Yao people regarded peach trees as gods, peach trees became the primitive totem of Yao tribe over time. The surname totem "" of the Yao surname is derived from the shape of the peach tree. It can be seen that the totem of Yao's surname originates from the peach tree and is related to the prediction of divination. In ancient times, forecasting divination was a kind of mysterious knowledge and special wisdom. This seems to indicate that Yao people will become a wise and intelligent ethnic group.
