Guan Bangyuan's hometown is Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hubei Province. There is a relatively complete Guan family in their village, and his uncle is the oldest. Although there are many people named Guan in China, it is a little difficult for him to get this name as a descendant of Guan. His grandfather adopted his grandmother's family for some reason. Her grandmother's surname is Chen. According to the custom, if she adopts her husband's surname, she will adopt the woman's surname. Grandpa has five or six uncles and menses, all surnamed Chen. When I signed up in Bangyuan, my grandparents, who had always been on good terms, had a serious "quarrel" over their grandson's surname Chen. Finally, grandma compromised and finally made him an official. Although the surname is "official", Guan Bangyuan still feels very confused. Because there is a couplet on the altar of their ancestral temple, which reads: Tianshui is far away, Shangguan Shize is long. He checked the information and found that the surname Shangguan originated in Tianshui, Gansu. In this way, the villagers whose family name is Guan should be descendants of Shangguan Shi in Tianshui, that is, their family name should be Shangguan. Is "official" just "Shangguan"? In this regard, an old man surnamed Guan in the village explained this: There was a general named Shangguan in history. After he was found to be trying to usurp the throne, he was anonymous and reduced Shangguan to an official, so now their official surname is actually the descendant of this Shangguan general. Coincidentally, Guan Bangyuan really found such a general named "Shangguan" in the literature, and he really had the act of usurping power and seizing power. However, it is unclear whether the general changed his surname after the incident was revealed. As far as he knows, at least since his grandfather's generation, he has been using the surname "Guan". He looked up hundreds of surnames, but there was no official surname in the book, only Shangguan surname. But he learned from some introductory books that the official surname is China's 274th surname. Is there any connection between "official" surname and "Shangguan" surname? He hopes that people who feel the same way can discuss this problem with him. However, he told reporters that although he didn't know what his surname was correct, he still wanted to change his name to "Shangguan Bangyuan" because "Shangguan" sounded more imposing.
