The origin of Ding surname: the descendant of Ding Hou, Jiang Ziya nationality, began in the Three Kingdoms period, came from Zi surname and came from the western regions.

1, from the descendants of Ding Hou.

Dinghou was a vassal in the Yin and Shang Dynasties. When the eastern expedition to Yinzhou, Dinghou was not destroyed by Zhou. His grandparents and grandchildren are scattered all over the country, and the tribe still takes Ding as its surname. "A Textual Research on Surnames", the book says: "Tai Kui, cutting Zhou, Ding Hou did not go to court, and Ding surname began here." When Zhou Wuwang attacked Zhou, there was a warlord named Ding. However, there are no more written records about the details of this warlord named Ding.

2. Originated from Jiang Ziya clan.

Jiang Ziya was a great hero of the Zhou Dynasty. After the death of his son Jiang Ji (and), he was also named by posthumous title, the king of Zhou, and his descendants took Ding as their surname to commemorate Zeng Zun as their ancestors. Historical records are more detailed.

"A man, surnamed Jiang, was born in the public, and Sun takes Ding as his surname." (See Tongzhi Imperial Clan is slightly inferior to his surname) "Born in the public, Sun takes history as his surname." (See Yuan He's Compilation) Since the advent of this Ding surname, the diaspora has the widest territory and the largest number.

In other words, for thousands of years, China's Ding surname mostly originated from this lineage. The main birthplace of this department is in Jiyang, Shandong Province today. The surname book says, "I inherit ginger and look out of Jiyang", which is proof.

It began in the Three Kingdoms period.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the descendants of Sun Kuang, the general of Dongwu, changed their surnames to Ding. "Biography of the River Table" said: "Sun Quan, because Sun Kuang burned Mao Mang, has no military service, and his other family is Shi Ding." In the Biography of the Three Kingdoms, Wu Zhi Sun Kuang, it is said that Sun Quan's men were negligent, causing a fire in the commissary warehouse and delaying the fighter plane. Sun Quan was furious and banned Sun Kuang's surname Sun.

Sun Kuang's descendants were also forced to follow Ding's surname. Therefore, in the later generations of China, especially in the south, some Ding people are descendants of Ji's surname, because they came from the eighth son Kang Shu.

4. From the child's surname

In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, after the Wu Geng Rebellion, the old capital of Shang Dynasty was divided into Wei and Shangqiu, which was called Song State. Song was a state-owned doctor in the Song Dynasty. After his death, he took posthumous title as his surname and called him a native of Henan.

5. Originated from the Western Regions

The last word in the names of the western regions in history (most areas in Xinjiang today) is "Ding", which was often changed to Ding after it entered the sinicization of the Central Plains. For example, the biography of Gao Shi in Lingshan House said: "In the Year of the Crane, there were westerners, great-grandfather Aladdin, grandfather puzzling, father Urudin, and then Diyamodin. The Year of the Crane is named T-family after his great-grandfather. I don't know what it means. Later generations took the Year of the Crane as Ding Shi. " There are records of Ding surname among ethnic minorities.
