The surname Nangong is a surname that is not included in the old Chinese family name.
Nan Gong and Nan Bo have the same origin, both of which are very ancient compound surnames, and now they are no longer the same as the provincial texts and simplified to single surnames Nan, Gong, and Bo. The common characteristic of the clansmen is that they all regard Hailing and Chenzhou as counties.
by Nan Gong. The Nan family is now mainly distributed in Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province, Yueqing City, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, Fuzhou City, Zhangzhou City, Xiamen City, Fujian Province, and Taiwan Province. The ancestor of the surname is Nangong (Nanbo).
The origin of the surname. The source is a single origin, derived from the surname Mi, from the pre-Qin period of Chu Yin and Yang scholar Nangong, belonging to the name of the ancestor.
Sima Qian commented on the Qin State and the Chu State Warlock Nan Gong in the "Historical Records: Xiang Yu Benji": "Fu Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, and Chu was the most innocent. Since King Huai entered Qin, the people of Chu have pitied him so far, so the Duke of Chu Nan said:'Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu'. Nan Gong, also known as Nan Bo, he was a famous yin-yang scholar in the pre-Qin period of the Chu State, and was also a Taoist and warlock.
When the Qin Dynasty was at its most prosperous, Nan Gong prophesied: "Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu!" Later, the historian Pei Si of the Liu and Song dynasties of the Southern Dynasty (the word Longju, around 430 AD) collected the explanation and said: "Xu Guang said:'Chu people also, good words yin and yang. Wen Ying said: &
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng, a native of Yangcheng, and Wu Guang of Yangxia rebelled, and the rebels from all walks of life cooperated, and Xiang Liang (Xiang Yu's uncle) led the army to attack Qin. Fan Zeng (277 BC, 204 BC) visited Xiang Liang and said: "Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, and Chu was the most wronged!" Chu Nangong said that even if there were only three families left in the Chu State, they would take revenge and destroy the Qin State. So Xiang Liang set up Xiong Xin, the grandson of Xiong Huai (reigned 328-299 BC), the former Huai King of Chu (reigned 208-205 BC), as the Hou Huai King of Chu (reigned 208 BC, 205 BC), and was quickly supported by the people of Chu.
Regarding the "three households" referred to by Nangong, they are the descendants of the three surnames of the original Chu nobles surnamed Zhao (after King Xiong Wang of Chu Zhao), Qu (after King Xiong of Chu Moao), and Jing (after King Xiong of Chu Ping). After Qin Shi Huang swallowed up the Chu State in the twenty-fourth year of the Qin Dynasty (Chu King Xiong lost five years, 223 BC), although the Xiong family surnamed Mi declined, but the other wealthy families still have considerable strength in the hometown of Chu, Chen Sheng, Xiang Ji, Liu Bang, etc., which appeared at the end of the Qin Dynasty, were all people from the hometown of Chu, and later raised troops against Qin, and finally destroyed the powerful Qin Dynasty.
It is said that the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng (246-221 BC, 221 BC and 221 BC 210 BC), said to the prime minister Li Si (280-208 BC): "As the lord of the world, I cannot but think about the peace of the world." Therefore, those Liu and Xiang in the Chu State who never read are, according to Shang Gongzi, exactly'Although there are three households in Chu, two of the households in the 'Death of Qin and Chu': the household surnamed Liu has a Liu Bang, and the household surnamed Xiang has a Xiang Yu. Prime Minister Li, I killed Zhao Gao for you, so you can kill these two Chu people for me. ”
Li Si immediately replied without thinking
However, Qin Shi Huang did not fulfill his promise to get rid of Zhao Gao, and Li Si did not fulfill his promise to get rid of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. After Qin Shi Huang died of illness on the way to the south, Li Si was greedy for selfish desires and feared death, and he fought with the eunuch Zhao Gao (BC?). 207 BC) colluded with each other to forge the edict of Qin Shi Huang, killing Qin Shi Huang's eldest son Ying Fusu and 22 other sons and daughters, as well as the generals Meng Tian, Meng Yi's brothers, and many ministers (all BC?). 210 BC to be examined), supported Qin II to win Huhai (reigned 210 BC 207 BC), and finally he himself was beheaded in the second year of Qin II (208 BC) and was beheaded in the Xianyang city and razed the three tribes.
The people of later generations took the words of Nangong, a yin-yang scholar of the Chu State, and simplified it into "the three households of the dead Qin", which has been passed down through the ages, and is specially used to refer to the righteous deeds of not fearing **, going forward and succeeding, and rising up to overthrow the dark rule.
Among the descendants of Nangong, there are many people who take the title of the ancestor as their surname, called Nangong, or Nanbo, and most of the provincial texts have been changed to single surnames Nan, Gong, and Bo, all of which have been passed down from generation to generation.
For example, Nan Huaijin (1918-2012), a famous master of Chinese culture, chairman of cultural and educational institutions such as the Chinese Culture Academy in Toronto, Canada and the Hong Kong International Cultural Association, and a native of Nanzhai Dianhou Village, Yueqing, Zhejiang Province (1918-2012 AD), is from the Nangong (Nanbo) family.
