The surname shi
It inherits the surnames of Tang of Shang and Shen Shu, with Shi Hou and Shen Shu Shi as its founding ancestors. It is the 146th surname in contemporary China. During the Ming Dynasty, the founding ancestors of the Hongtong Great Locust Tree were from Pingyang Prefecture, Hongtong County, Zhaocheng County and other places. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Hongtong Great Locust Tree was relocated to other places in a concentrated manner. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, its descendants were distributed in Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shaanxi, Gansu, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hubei, Hunan, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Shanxi and other places.
The earliest record of the surname Shi can be found in the "Shiben" of the Zhou Dynasty.
There are mainly three sources of the surname:
① It originates from the surname Zi. According to the "Shiben", during the Western Zhou Dynasty, some descendants of Tang of Shang were enfeoffed in the area of Bochang in the southern Lu region, which was called the State of Shi. It was conquered by the State of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period. When the country was lost, the descendants took "shi" as their surname.
② It originated from the Shen Shu family. At the beginning of the Warring States Period, Chen Ling Gong of the State of Chen was immoral. Together with his ministers Kong Ning and Yi Xingfu, he had an affair with Xia Ji. When Xia Ji's son Zheng Shu learned of this, he was filled with both shame and hatred and led his men to kill Chen Ling Gong. At this time, the State of Chu was intent on vying for supremacy in the Central Plains. Using this as an excuse, King Zhuang of Chu led his troops to kill Zheng Shu and destroy the State of Chen. After his victory, he held a grand celebration banquet. The nearby feudal lords and ministers of the State of Chu came to offer their congratulations one after another. Only the minister Shen Shu Shi remained silent. King Zhuang was very puzzled and questioned Shen Shu Shi. Shen said, "Has Your Majesty heard of the story of 'Seizing the Ox in Xitian'?" King Zhuang of Chu said, "I've never heard of it. What is it, Shen Shu Shi?" Shen Shu said, "A man led an ox along the ridge of a field. The ox trampled on the crops in the field. The field owner was furious and took the man's ox away. This case is like a judgment by Your Majesty. How would you make the judgment?" King Zhuang of Chu said, "It is indeed wrong for the ox to trample on the crops, but the loss is not significant." It would be too much to take away someone's bull for this reason. If I judge, the owner of the ox will rebuke him, but the ox should be returned to him." Shen Shu Shi said, "Your Majesty's judgment on this case is very wise, but how could you be so confused in handling the State of Chen?" It was wrong for Zheng Shu to kill the king, but this alone was not enough to destroy the country. Not only will the people of Chen not thank you, but the people of the whole world will not support you either. King Zhuang of Chu, upon hearing this, repeatedly stamped his feet and said, "You're right. You're right." So he ordered the withdrawal of the troops stationed in the State of Chen and restored the State of Chen. The actions of King Zhuang of Chu won the trust of the vassal states, and later he became the overlord of the south. Shen Shu became a marquis of the State of Chu during his reign, and his fiefdom was in Shen. His descendants split into two branches, both taking place names as their surnames, and one of them was the surname Shi.
③ It originated from taking a place name as a surname. According to "Tracing the Origins of Surnames", in the land of Lu, there is always water, which is the dry season of spring and autumn. When people came to Zheng, some of them lived here and took the name of the place as their surname.
The main ancestral homes of the Shi surname are Longxi Prefecture and Chenliu Prefecture. Longxi Commandery: Established in the 27th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin during the Warring States Period (280 BC), it got its name because it is located to the west of Longshan Mountain. It is equivalent to the area east of Dongxiang and the area around Longxi in present-day Gansu Province.
The main hall name for the Shi surname is Qingbai Hall. Qingbai Hall: During the Later Han Dynasty, it was sometimes called Miao. In the Jian 'an period, it entered the Prime Minister's residence and was appointed as the Shouchun Magistrate. He took his own dilapidated car and was pulled to his post by a cow. When the transfer was taking place, the old ox gave birth to a calf. Shi Miao said, "When I came here, I only had one cow. Leave the calf to the people of Shouchun!" He was so innocent all his life.
The main couplets for the Shi surname are: Hong GUI de Xu (shi 檄); Zi Gai becomes an immortal (Shi He). Julu was enfeoffed (Shi Pu) Liu Du shows integrity (Shi Miao). Zhu Qingbai Hall (Shi Miao) The government of Hui Ai (at 檄).
