Gong 100 Article Experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences interpret the new version of "Hundred Family Surnames". The day before yesterday, the new "Hundred Family Surnames" were released based on research supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
The reporter interviewed Yuan Yida, a researcher at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences who led this research project. He introduced the mystery of Chinese surnames to the reporter.
The mysterious surname hides the genetic code. Yuan Yida explained that for a long time in China, surnames have followed the male. From a genetic point of view, only males have Y chromosomes. Therefore, the Y chromosome is inherited along with the surname to male offspring. Therefore, those with the same surname
The population will have the same type of Y chromosome and the genes it carries.
"During the investigation, we found that many genetic diseases are only spread among people with the same surname. Counting the number and distribution of names will be of great help to the study of human genetics." Yuan Yida told reporters.
Xuanji 2: People with the same surname may not necessarily be from the same family. When Chinese people meet, they always ask for their names. If they find that they have the same surname, they will feel more intimate and think that the two were "one family five hundred years ago". "In fact, this is not the case."
It is unbelievable. After investigation, we found that a common surname may have hundreds of sources. For example, the most common surname in China is 'Li'. Some of them come from the surname 'Ying', and some come from the surname 'Zhao'. In the Tang Dynasty, the surname 'Li' was
Li Shimin was given to the founding fathers, and even in the Later Wei Dynasty, the compound surname of Xianbei was changed to 'Li'." Mysterious three Chinese surnames have the most connotation. Yuan Yida said that in fact, not only in China, but also in the world, surnames are also important.
It is a symbol of cultural inheritance, but no country in the world has inherited its surnames as completely and meaningfully as China.
Yuan Yida explained that for example, before the Meiji Restoration in Japan, there were only a few surnames. In order to reform, Emperor Meiji required all people across the country to have surnames. So in just a few years, more than 80,000 surnames appeared, and there was no source.
Most of them are represented by positional names, such as Matsushita, Inoue, and Tanaka. Therefore, it is difficult for Japanese scholars to connect Japanese surnames with human inheritance.
The latest discovery is that there is a village with "difficult" surnames in Henan. During this investigation, many unusual and strange surnames were also discovered. These surnames have never been recorded. "When I saw it in the past, I thought these strange surnames were caused by clerical errors, but
After our investigation, we found that these strange surnames have far-reaching roots." Yuan Yida gave the reporter an example. In Henan, the research team found four small villages with the surname "Nan", where all the men, women, old and children had the surname "Nan".
The research team once believed that this surname was caused by a clerical error and had no statistical significance. However, when the Korean Cultural Agency heard the news, it was extremely surprised and immediately organized a "root-seeking delegation" to China.
It turns out that for Koreans, the surname "Nan" is their origin. "They told me that a stone tablet from the Northern and Southern Dynasties was unearthed in Henan, recording the deeds of a Xianbei official. His name was 'Nan Lou'.
The surname "Nan" moved north with Xianbei, and the Songhua River was also renamed "Nanjiang". Later, these Xianbei people with the surname "Nan" arrived in what is now the Korean Peninsula. Therefore, these villagers with the surname "Nan" in Henan were called "Nan".
Koreans believe it has a lot to do with them. "Researcher Yuan Yida, who conducted the survey, said that compared with the survey 20 years ago, the sample scope of this survey was larger and involved
Nearly 40% of counties in China use Chinese surnames.
The survey results get rid of the "priority" of the powerful and are closer to the current distribution of Chinese surnames.
