Origin of the surname

Origin of the surname Liang: The Liang family comes from the surname Ying, which originated from the Shaohao tribe of Dongyi, after Boyi. The thirty-fifth great Luo of Boyi gave birth to a son named Fei. After another five generations of Qin Zhong, Qin Zhong's youngest son Kang was granted the title of Liangshan in Xiayang (south of Hancheng, Shaanxi Province today), established the Liang Kingdom, and became an earl. In 641 BC, Duke Mu of Qin sent troops to attack and destroy the Liang Kingdom, and renamed the Liang region Shaoliang. After the fall of the country, most of the descendants of the Liang Kingdom fled to the Jin Kingdom and took their surname from the original country, which is the Liang family. This is what "Yuanhe Surnames Compilation" says: "Liang, surnamed Ying, after Boyi, Qin Zhong had meritorious service, King Ping of Zhou named his youngest son Kang Yu Xia Yang, who was Liang Bo. Later, he was destroyed by Qin, and his descendants took the country as their surname. . "Liang Wang Yingkang is the ancestor of the Liang family, and is known as the authentic line of the Liang family in history. The ancestor who got the surname: Boyi. According to legend, Emperor Zhuanxu had a granddaughter named Nvxiu. She accidentally picked up swallow eggs and gave birth to Daye. Daye married a daughter of the Shaodian family and gave birth to Boyi. Because Boyi assisted Dayu in flood control, he was given the surname Ying for worship. Boyi became the ancestor of all ethnic groups with the surname Ying in ancient times. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, because one of his descendants, Qin Zhong and his son, had made contributions in conquering Xirong, King Xuan of Zhou named Qin Zhong's second son Kang in Liangshan, Xiayang (near today's Hancheng, Shaanxi), established the Liang Kingdom, and established him as the king, called Liang Kangbo. In 641 BC, Duke Mu of Qin attacked and destroyed the Liang Kingdom. The descendants of Liang Bo took the country as their surname and named it Liang. Boyi became the ancestor of the Liang surname.

[Edit this paragraph] Anecdotes

〖Knowing Tang Yin with a sharp eye〗 Liang Chu (1451-1527), was born in Shunde, Guangdong Province in the second year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty (1451) A rich family in Shi (Shiken) Township, District 4, County. After liberation, it was transferred to Shi (Shiken) Township, Pingzhou District, Nanhai County (now Guicheng Street (Shiken) Village, Nanhai District, Foshan City).

Having received a good upbringing from a good family since childhood, he was quick-thinking, intelligent, well-spoken and generous even as a child. Once, his father helped Liang Chu, who had accidentally fallen to the ground, and said casually: "Little teacher and student who fell down..." Unexpectedly, his father responded loudly: "Hold up the great scholar." Another time, several of their father and son were at the edge of the village. While bathing in the pond, his father casually wrote a couplet: "Bath in the pond at night, the stars will surge all day long." Before he finished speaking, Liang Chu had already responded: "Go to the pavilion early and save the world for three generations." He has a kind heart, and the elders in his family are old and sick. He does not avoid filth, serves decoctions, and takes good care of them. When Liang Chu was young, he studied under the great scholar Chen Baisha. At the age of 21, he passed the imperial examination. At the age of 25, he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination and passed the Zhonghui Yuan examination. He was selected as Chuanlu (fourth place) in the palace examination. After that, he served in politics for more than 40 years, and he was tired of serving in official positions. He was a bachelor of Huagaidian University and the crown prince's grand master. He once served as the chief minister of the cabinet. He believed that officials were upright and dared to offend Yan Zhijian, which made him famous for future generations. As a veteran of three dynasties (Chenghua, Hongzhi, and Zhengde), Liang Chu served two generations of princes (the later emperors Hongzhi and Zhengde) in their studies. He also served as co-examiner of the joint examination and chief examiner of the provincial examination for many times, and selected many talents for the imperial court. He single-handedly selected Tang Bohu as Jieyuan when presiding over the Shuntian Township Examination, which is a typical example. Although Tang Bohu in his youth was as keen on fame and wealth as most scholars, he was influenced by the wave of retroism in the literary world during the Chenghua period and gradually lost interest in the boring and thought-binding eight-legged essay, especially after the deaths of his father, mother and sister. Later, he was mentally shocked and had the negative thought that life was short and he needed to enjoy himself immediately, so he became dissolute. It was only later that Tang Bohu listened to the advice of his friend Zhu Zhishan and expressed his intention in his poem "Night Reading" that "when the name is unknown, the heart is immortal, and then the light is on to read the article." In the eleventh year of Hongzhi (1498), Tang Bohu went to Nanjing to take the provincial examination with confidence in mind. After reading his answer sheet, the examiner Liang Chu marveled that he was a genius and admitted him as the first place, that is, Jieyuan, and Liang Chu became Tang Jieyuan’s mentor. [Guangdong Free of Grain] Liang Chu was an upright official, and even the anecdotes circulated in the market better reflected his beautiful character of caring about the country, the people, and his hometown. According to legend, one year the disaster in Guangdong was particularly serious and the grain harvest failed. Liang Chu often felt sad about this and thought about how to provide practical help to his hometown. After much painstaking efforts, the opportunity finally came. When playing chess with the emperor every day, every time he made a chess move, he would first tap the chess board lightly with the chess pieces and sing softly: "General, general, general, Guangdong will be free of grain." He sang one day and two days... . Another day, Liang Chu was playing chess with the emperor. When he saw that the emperor was playing chess smoothly and was in a good mood, he suddenly held a chess piece in his hand and sang nonchalantly and melodiously: "General, general, general, Guangdong will not have to release grain." He was in high spirits. The emperor found it amusing and couldn't help but imitate the words. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he had been trapped and had made a mistake. However, once Chrysostom has been opened, it is too late to regret it. At this time, Liang Chu had already knelt on his knees and kowtowed, "Thanks to the Lord for his kindness on behalf of the elders in his hometown." Because Jun Wu joked, Guangdong really didn’t have to turn in grain back then. Although the rumors are not trustworthy, they can give people a glimpse of Liang Chu's talent and his feelings of not forgetting his hometown from another side. 〖Human skin leaks〗 It is said that Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty wanted to build a unique pavilion in the imperial garden, but he had no idea how to design it to be beautiful. He asked the eunuch next to him. In order to flatter his master and do what he wanted, the eunuch actually came up with an appalling idea. He said to the emperor flatteringly: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, people have built buildings with the same roof tiles. This is too boring. In my opinion, it is best to use human skin to cover the tiles, which is both unique and sturdy. Durable and refreshing." After hearing the eunuch's absurd words, the mediocre emperor thought that the idea was unique and unconventional. He then asked the eunuch who has the best skin? The eunuch said: "Your Majesty, I think the skin of Cantonese people is the toughest, so it is the best to use it to cover the roof of the pavilion!" So the emperor adopted this idea, issued an order to arrest a large number of young and powerful Guangdong youth, and Choose a day to peel. The news spread like wildfire. When Grand Master Liang Chu heard about this inhumane move, he was very shocked. He resented the emperor's stupidity and cruelty and the eunuch's vicious heart. If his vicious methods succeeded, then hundreds of us Cantonese people would become An inhumane victim. Seeing that the day of skinning was approaching, Liang Chu was anxious and had no good ideas. He wanted to directly advise the emperor, but he was afraid that if he lost his interest for a while, he would not only be unable to prevent the incident from happening, but would also be killed. If he ignored it, he would be killed. It's really hard to decide what to endure and where to go.

It was midsummer and the heat was sweltering. Liang Chu was restless over this matter. He lowered his head and pondered, and suddenly came up with a clever idea. On the day of skinning, the sun was blazing, and the emperor came to see the skinning in person. Liang Chu ordered people to cook several large pots of porridge early in the morning so that the Cantonese people could have a full meal before they died. Those people were extremely hungry, and they all wolfed down large bowls of porridge into their stomachs. After eating, they all stood naked in the hot sun waiting to be skinned. Because they drank a lot of porridge and the weather was hot, they were all sweating profusely. Seeing that the time had come, Liang Chu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, look! The skin of Cantonese people is leaky, so you must not use it!" When the foolish emperor took a look, he saw that everyone who was about to be skinned was covered in water. , flow straight down. So he asked Liang Chu: "Qing family, what do you think we should do?" Liang Chu said: "Your Majesty, I think that human skin has pores and will leak, so it cannot be used. Terracotta tiles are strong, heat-resistant and waterproof, so it is better to cover them with tiles!" I had no choice but to give up. Liang Chu's ingenious plan saved those Guangdong men from disaster and prevented this tragic tragedy from happening. This was another good deed done by Liang Chu for the people in his hometown.
