Someone pulled out the ancestor prototype at the end of the world? Surnames were created by Zhou people, with the purpose of dividing all ethnic groups by blood clan system, thus forming a unique "Ji Fu" system of Zhou people. Mr. Li Ling summed up the three magic weapons for the Western Zhou Dynasty to be stable in the world, namely, "to survive but not to die", "feudal kinship" and "to be soft and far away" (A Textual Research on the surnames of the Zhou Family in Li See Mausoleum).

"Extinction and extinction" means that although you have destroyed this country, you can't let it be extinct, which is what our folks say. "Feudal Kinship" is to divide "Kinship" and "Kinship" into different parts to ensure the stability of Zhou rule. Relatives refer to blood relationship, and relatives refer to marriage relationship. Generally speaking, "being soft and able to go far" means treating those who are far away with a soft policy, and those who are near should be close.

Wu Wang, a businessman, sealed several vassal States before getting off the bus. After Shennong, it is a country of diplomatic relations and belongs to ginger. After the Yellow Emperor, he was named Zhu Guo. Followed by Li, Qi surname; Later shun joy chen, Gui Xing; Yu Yu, surname; After the soup, it was Song, surnamed Zi.

If the Duke of Zhou made a great contribution to the Zhou Dynasty, the foresight of King Wu was undoubtedly the root of his thought. People often look at people and things in ancient history through the concept of later generations. This behavior is a kind of thinking inertia, which is understandable. However, if we want to really understand history, especially the history of pre-Qin, there will be great errors. I said that the main point I want to make is the difference between men and women.

The status of women in Shang dynasty was very high, and there was no Confucian view that women without talent were virtuous. The concept of Zhou people has changed, and they have a slightly discriminatory view of "the morning of slaughtering chickens". But on the whole, it has not changed much. Mr. Henry Hui Wang made a very incisive analysis of the relationship between nephews and uncles in Shang and Zhou Dynasties. He thinks that the status of "nephews and uncles" is equivalent to "brothers" in "Zhou Li".

This reflects the patriarchal clan structure of Zhou Dynasty from another aspect. This blood relationship does not only refer to the paternal line. Let's look at the matriarchal composition of Zhou Wang.

His wife is Jiang, Wang Ji's wife is Ren, and his wife is Si. These three emperors all belonged to the Shang Dynasty. His wife has obvious traces of tribal alliance. Needless to say, Jiang after Shennong lived in the west at the same time as Zhou and was Zhou's die-hard ally and family. When he became the Yellow Emperor, he was a descendant of Xia Houshi.

So it's not hard to understand why Zhou pretended to be Xia Hou. However, Yao Shun and Shang Tang were also holy kings respected by Zhou people, and future generations should also be sealed.

Although we can see from the literature that the feudal countries of these holy kings all had surnames, in fact, these surnames were added in the later literature creation. Through word of mouth, the ancestors of pre-Qin people often trace back to women, which may be the memory brought by matriarchal society. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, men said their surnames and women said their surnames.

So we don't have to worry about the surname of the Yellow Emperor. I hope that the country being the Yellow Emperor should be a memory preserved by people in the early Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, from the paternal point of view, the Yellow Emperor, the subject of this memory, is not the ancestor in Ji Zhou's memory. This can also be seen from the literature of Sacrifice Week.
