The surname Xiang comes from four sources:
1, from Jiang, after Emperor Yan Shennong, took his ancestral name as his surname. According to Records of Historical Records, Shennong was named Xiang by later generations, who took Xiang as their surname and became Xiang's surname.
2, from the descendants of Yao Emperor Qi, taking the country name as the surname. According to Tongzhi Genealogy, the Zhou Dynasty was a directional country, so it was located in the south of Juxian County, Shandong Province. Later, when the country was broken, Xiang's descendants took the original country name as their surname and became a branch of Xiang's family.
3, from the son's surname, for the descendants of Tang Wang, with the ancestral word as the surname. According to Genealogy, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Song Guojun and Song Huangong had a son named Gui (Bi Yinbi), whose name came from his father, and his generation was, and later his ancestral name was Xiang.
4. Change the surname from his home:
(1) According to "Biography of Nan Man Southwest Yi", the five surnames in Nanjun, Ba County point to good, because Wuzhong fell from the mountain (now Changyang, Hubei Province).
(2) Manchu in Qing Dynasty had a surname and lived in Xiatazi.
(3) In the Qing Dynasty, Huguang Shinan people, the ancient toast was Xiang.
(4) Manchu, Dong, Yi, Tujia, Miao, Mongolian and Buyi all have Xiang surnames.
Ancestor: auspicious symbol. Son of Duke Huan of Song Dynasty, first name. His grandson (great-grandson) was named Zixu, and was appointed as the left ambassador of the Song State, in charge of state affairs. In 546 BC, he absorbed the wisdom of Huayuan and made an alliance with Jin Qing, Wu Zhao and Chu Lingyin Zi Mu in the Song Dynasty. They stopped fighting again and held peace talks. More than 20 countries were invited to participate in this meeting, so that Jin and Chu could share hegemony equally. After this meeting, there was no major war in the vassal States of the Central Plains, and they were peaceful for more than ten years, which is rare in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period. Zixu is also famous in many countries. He took his grandfather's first word to his father as his surname, which was passed down by later generations and called Xiang's. Your father is the ancestor of your surname.
Second, migration distribution.
According to "Lu Chunqiu", "Song belt is too slaughter, Huan country also. Huayuan killed Dangze, Dai Xiang and so on ... ". Knowing that it was also the Duke of Huan, judging from other historical materials, Xiang Zixu's age should be later than that, which shows that Xiang's father is undoubtedly the ancestor of Xiang Xing's family, but whether it was changed from Zixu to Xiangxing still needs to be considered. In any case, there is no doubt that Xiang originated in Shangqiu, Henan Province today. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Huahai and Xiang Ning rebelled, and both of them fled to Chu. During the Warring States Period, the State of Qin had a birthday wish. It can be seen that in the pre-Qin period, Xiang had entered the south and xiaoxiang was in the west. From this period to the Han Dynasty, in addition to continuing to breed in Shangqiu, one Xiang moved westward to Luoyang, one moved to Jinxiang, Shandong, and another crossed the Yellow River to Shanxi. At this time, Xu Xiang and Xiang Chang were both from Chao Ge in the Eastern Han Dynasty (now Shangqiu, Henan Province), which shows that Shangqiu was the stronghold of Xiang's reproduction before the Eastern Han Dynasty. From this period to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Xiang surnames developed particularly prosperously in the north, forming Xiang surnames in Henan, Shanyang and Hedong counties. In the Three Kingdoms, Xiang Chong and Xiang Chong from Yicheng (now Hubei) in Xiangyang were brothers, and Xiang Lang and Xiang Tiao went to Shu. From the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui Dynasty, due to social unrest, Xiang fled to Jiangdong, and Hubei moved south to Hunan. However, the above three counties are still relatively prosperous. After the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty invited Uighurs to send troops to help the war twice, so Luoyang and Xi 'an suffered from the extermination of the Uighur soldiers twice, hoping that Henan County would exist in name only. Subsequently, the Huang Chao Uprising followed, and Hunan began to go south on a large scale to avoid chaos or for other reasons. Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places have become shelters for Xiangxing. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Kaifeng people joined as prime ministers, and some of them married Sun's daughter to the queen, which made this Kaifeng family famous in history, with 15 people. After the humiliation of Song Jingkang, Xiangzi, the great-grandson of Xiang Minzhong, moved to Qingjiang (now Jiangxi) because of his official career. At the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Shanxi Xiang family, as one of the surnames of Sophora japonica residents, was moved to Hebei, Beijing and other places. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Xiang surnames had spread all over the country, and some coastal Xiang surnames traveled across the sea to Taiwan Province, and then spread overseas. Now Xiang surnames are widely distributed in China, especially in Hunan, accounting for about 40% of the total population of Han nationality. Xiang surname is the129th surname in China, with a large population, accounting for about 0. 1% of the Han population in China.
