Origins

edit

Huang is an ancient surname. According to tradition, there are several different origins of the surname, for example as descendants of Bo Yi, Lu Zhong (陸りく終おわり) or Tai Tai (臺たい駘).[5] There were also at least three Huang Kingdoms during the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. Most of the people with the surname Huang could track back their ancestors to one of the Huang Kingdoms.[citation needed]

Dong Yi Tribe 東夷あずまえびす

edit

The Dong Yi or Eastern Barbarians were ancient people who lived in eastern China during the prehistoric period. They were one of the Four Barbarians in Chinese culture, along with the Northern Di 北狄ほくてき, the Southern Man 南蠻なんばん, and the Western Rong 西戎せいじゅう. The Dong Yi tribe was the tribal alliance group that consisted of nine tribes in the Huai River Basin 淮水流域りゅういき: Quan Yi 畎夷, Yu Yi 於夷, Fang Yi 方かた夷えびす, Huang Yi 黃き夷えびす, Bai Yi 白しろ夷えびす, Chi Yi 赤あか夷えびす, Xuan Yi 玄げん夷えびす, Feng Yi 風ふう夷えびす and Yang Yi 陽ひ夷えびす. The Dong Yi tribe people used different birds as their totems and for Huang Yi 黃き夷えびす tribe, Yellow Oriole 黃き鶯うぐいす was the totem. Later when the people from Huang Yi 黃き夷えびす tribe moved and settled in different parts of China, they adopted Huang 黃き as their surname.[6][7]

Ying Clan 嬴姓

edit

Shaohao 少しょう皋 had a son, Gao Yao and Gao Yao had a son, Bo Yi. Bo Yi helped Emperor Shun and Yu the Great control the Great Flood and got surname Ying (嬴) at early Xia dynasty period. Bo Yi married Emperor Shun's youngest daughter and had three sons (some accounts mentioned only two sons – Da Lian and Ruo Mu):

  • Eldest Son Da Lian 大だい廉かど – Founder of Huang Kingdom 黃き國こく (Qin Kingdom Founder Fei Zi 非ひ子こ and Zhao Kingdom Founder Shu Dai 叔帶 were descendants of Da Lian)
  • Second Son Ruo Mu 若木わかぎ – Founder of Xu Kingdom 徐じょ國こく (his great-great-grandson Fei Chang 費ひ昌あきら founded Fei Kingdom 費ひ國こく)
  • Third Son En Cheng 恩おん成なり – Founder of Jiang Kingdom 江え國こく

Xia Yu awarded the Huang kingdom to Da Lian, and his descendants are known as the Huangs. There are total of 14 clans derived from Bo Yi Ying Clan: Lian (廉れん), Xu (徐じょ), Jiang (江こう), Qin (秦はた), Zhao (趙ちょう), Huang (黃き), Liang (梁はり), Ma (馬うま), Ge (葛かずら), Gu (谷たに), Miao (繆), Zhong (鍾), Fei (費ひ), and Qu (瞿). Rulers of Qin Kingdom, Zhao Kingdom, Qin dynasty and Song dynasty could trace back their ancestor to Bo Yi. Hata Clan (秦はた氏し) of Japan, and Aisin Gioro Clan, Irgen Gioro Clan and Gioro Clan of Manchuria (one of several different opinions) were also derived from Bo Yi Ying Clan.

Ji Clan 姬ひめ姓せい

edit

The lineage of Huang Clan from the Yellow Emperor is as follows: 1) Yellow Emperor 黃き帝みかど -> 2) Chang Yi 昌あきら意い -> 3) Zhuanxu Emperor 顓頊帝みかど -> 4) Da Ye 大業おおわざ (aka Ye the Great) -> 5) Shao Dian 少しょう典てん -> 6) Nu Shen 女おんな莘 -> 7) Da Fei 大だい費ひ (aka Fei the Great) -> 8) Juan Zhang 卷まき章あきら -> 9) Wu Hui 吳くれ回かい (also known as Zhurong) -> 10) Lu Zhong 陸りく終おわり -> 11) Hui Lian 惠めぐみ連れん (Some accounts state that Hui Lian is son of Fan Ren, son of Lu Zhong). Lu Zhong had six sons:

  • Eldest Son Fan 樊 (also known as Fan Ren 樊人 or Kun Wu 昆こん吾われ) – Legendary Pottery Inventor and Founder of Kunwu Kingdom 昆こん吾われ國こく,
  • Second Son Ding 定じょう (also known as Hui Lian 惠めぐみ连 or Can Hu 參まいり胡えびす) – Founder of Huang Kingdom 黃き國こく,
  • Third Son Qian (also known as Qian Keng 钱铿) – Legendary God of Longevity and Founder of Da Peng Kingdom 大だい彭國,
  • Fourth Son Qiu 求もとめ (also known as Qiu Yan 求もとめ言げん or Kuai Ren 鄶人)- Founder of Kuai Kingdom 鄶國,
  • Fifth Son Yan An 晏安 (also known as Cao An 曹安 or Zao An 遭安) – Founder of Zhu Kingdom 邾國, and
  • Sixth Son Ji 季き (also known as Ji Lian 季き连) – Founder of Chu Kingdom 楚すわえ國こく.

In 2220 BC during the reign of Emperor Yao 帝みかど堯, Hui Lian 惠めぐみ連れん scored merits in harnessing river floods. Emperor Yao conferred on Hui Lian the title of Viscount 子こ (but the nobility system of ancient China is still not clear) and the state of Can'hu 參さん胡えびす (in present-day region of Fenyang, Shanxi province). Emperor Yao renamed Can'hu as State of Huang, and bestowed on Hui Lian the surname Huang 黃き and the name "Yun" 雲くも. Hence, Hui Lian was also known as Huang Yun 黃き雲くも or Nan Lu 南みなみ陆. Hui Lian became the Progenitor of the Huang surname clan. During Western Zhou dynasty, the rulers of the Huang State was given the title of Duke 公こう. The descendants of Huang Yun (Hui Lian) ruled the Huang State of Shanxi until the early Spring and Autumn period (722 BC-481 BC) when it was conquered by the State of Jin.

Another lineage of Huang Clan from the Yellow Emperor is as follows: 1) Yellow Emperor 黃き帝みかど -> 2) Shao Hao 少しょう昊ひろし -> 3) Jiao Ji 嬌極 -> 4) Hui Gong 揮公 -> 5) Mei 昧 -> 6) Tai Tai 臺だい駘. Tai Tai helped Zhuan Xu Emperor 顓頊, and he and his descendants (Jin Tian Clan 金きむ天たかし氏し) were enfeoffed with Fen Zhou 汾州 at Fen River 汾河 which was further divided into four kingdoms – Huang Kingdom 黃き國こく, Shen Kingdom 沈國, Ru Kingdom 蓐國 and Si Kingdom 姒國.

Development and emigration

edit

In 891 BC King Xiao of Zhou conferred on the 53rd generation descendant of Hui Lian, Huang Xi 黃き熙 (aka Huang Shi 黃石こうせき) the nobility of 'Hou' 侯ほう (marquis) and a fiefdom in the region east of the Han river 漢かん水すい (in present-day region of Yicheng, Hubei province) called 'Huang' 黃き (Not to be confused with the Huang State of Fenyang, Shanxi) with the four states Jiang 江こう, Huang 黃き (founded by 伯はく益えき Bo Yi's descendants), Dao 道みち, and Bo 柏かしわ in the Huang river 潢水 valley as vassals. The Huang State of Yicheng, Hubei was known as the Western Huang (Xi Huang 西にし黃き) in history.

During the Jin dynasty (266–420), when northern China was invaded by the barbarian tribes, many northerners (especially the aristocratic clans) moved to south China with the Jin court. It was during this period that the Huang clansmen migrated to Fujian.

According to Min Shu 閩書 (Book of Min) (Quoted from Chung Yoon-Ngan): "During the second year (of the reign) of Yongjia (308AD) the Central Plain was in chaos and the eight clans:- Lin 林はやし, Huang 黃き, Chen 陳ちん, Zheng 鄭てい, Zhan 詹, Qiu 邱, He 何なに, and Hu 胡えびす, entered Min 閩 (present day Fujian province, China)."

From the Tang dynasty (618–907) onwards, many Han Chinese migrated from Fujian to Guangdong and the other southern provinces. Huang grew into a big clan in south China and it is the 3rd biggest surname in Southern China today. The Cantonese Baiyue adopted Huang surname as well.

Huang migration overseas began as early as the 14th century during the Ming dynasty to destinations in Southeast Asia. Migration to Americas began only in the mid-19th century following the forced opening of China's doors to the West. Huang is one of the largest Chinese surname clans in Americas today. The population of overseas Huang Clansmen was estimated at 2 million in 2000.

The surname 皇すめらぎ has several origins: 1. The descendants of the Three Emperors of ancient China. 2. The descendants of Duke Dai of Song's prince named Huangfu Chongshi 皇すめらぎ父ちち充たかし石せき. 3.An ancient book Xing Kao 姓せい考こう says Zheng Kingdom has a royal clan named Huang clan 皇すめらぎ氏し.
