Rong surname

The ancestors were the Great Ape, Ronghou, and Rongbo. The ancestors of the Rong family, who immigrated from the Hongdong Pagoda Tree in the Ming Dynasty, were people from Pingyang Prefecture, Hongdong County, Zhaocheng County, and other regions. In the early Ming Dynasty, it was ordered that the large locust trees in Hongdong be concentrated and relocated to other places. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, their descendants were distributed in Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shaanxi, Gansu, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hubei, Hunan, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Shanxi and other places. The record of the Rong surname was first seen in the Surnames section of the Book of Customs during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

There are two main sources of surnames:

① Derived from the surname of a country. Legend has it that in ancient times, the Yellow Emperor ordered Li Shou to invent numbers, and also ordered Leng Lun to invent the Lv Lv scale. He personally composed a piece of music called "Xianchi". In order to play this piece of music, the Yellow Emperor's minister, Da Yu, collected various stones and baked them. After three years, he finally cast twelve chimes. On this day of performance, the wind and sun were bright, with a hundred birds and beasts coming to court, and all the feudal lords from all over the world gathered to listen to the first piece of music in history, reflecting the virtues of the Yellow Emperor and the prosperity of ancient times, and demonstrating the progress of Chinese civilization. In recognition of the great ape's contributions, the Yellow Emperor conferred upon him the title of Marquis of Honor. Rongguo has been established for over a thousand years through the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties. The descendants of Marquis Rong took the name Rong as their surname.

② Originating from taking the name of a town as a surname. According to the "General Principles of Customs", King Cheng of Zhou had a nobleman named Rongbo, whose fiefdom was in Rongyi. Rongyi was originally located in present-day Gong County, Henan Province, and its descendants took the name Rong as their surname. According to the "Genealogy Summary" in the "Tongzhi", the Duke of Rongyi, a high-ranking official of the Zhou Dynasty, first lived in Rongyi and later took the Rong surname. During the Spring and Autumn period, the state of Lu also had the surname Rong.

The hall names of the Rong surname include Yuhetang, Yongmu Hall, and Sanle Hall. Yu Hetang: Song Shirong Shumin, his brothers separated for over a year when two elm trees suddenly grew together in his courtyard, becoming one. They thought, "Aren't we as good as the elm tree?"?
