"Money" is a surname, so it really has something to do with money.
"Tongzhi Genealogy" records: "Zhuan Xu's great-grandson Lu was born in Peng Zu, and Peng Zu's grandson Fu is a sergeant of the family, and the official is the highest."
Qian Fu, a sergeant in the Zhou Dynasty, was an official name, specializing in the coins of the imperial court. Therefore, a descendant of Emperor Zhuan Xu, named Fu, became an official and simply took the official name as his surname. This is the origin of Qian's surname, which also shows that the reason why people surnamed Qian are surnamed Qian is really related to money.
According to this record in Tongzhi, later generations can also find such a source: Originally, the ancestor surnamed Qian was the direct grandson of Peng Zu, and Qian and Peng Yuan were a family, so these two surnames were not allowed to get married in some places.
People surnamed Qian first lived in Xiapi area, which was near Xuzhou, Jiangsu. Xuzhou, known as Pengcheng in ancient times, is very close to each other, which provides a powerful explanation for the close relationship between Qian and Peng. However, people surnamed Qian gradually moved south, so there are still many people surnamed Qian in Xing Wu and Wujin in the south of the Yangtze River today.
In history, although people surnamed Qian never played a vigorous role in politics, they were literati and talented people, completely different from their surnames.
Qian Dan and Qian Chan first appeared in history books. They all came from the Warring States period. Qian Dan was a famous hermit, and Qian Chan was an ancient adviser to Qin.
During the reign of Tang Tianbao, Qian Qi, a talented person, was born in Qianjia, Xing Wu, Jiangsu Province, and was once known as one of the "Top Ten Talents in Dali". Qian Qi is well-read and his poems are particularly good. The sentence "When the song ends, the mountains and rivers are green" is considered by the examiner as a help. It has been widely known for many years.
In the political arena of the past dynasties, although people surnamed Qian never played a major role, in the Five Dynasties, there was a very prominent figure, that is, Qian Liu, the founder of wuyue at that time. He is from Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and his capital is in Hangzhou.
Qian Liu is a legendary figure, and there are many legends about him among the people in the south of the Yangtze River: he said that he knew from an early age to train everyone to practice by playing with children; When I grew up, I didn't do my job properly and sold salt as a thief, but I was surprised by the fortune teller as a "true noble". As expected, his success is extraordinary. Not only can he become the master of one party in the war-torn era, but his descendants, also the fourth generation, served as our ambassadors in the Tang Dynasty, which is really remarkable.
Peng Zu and the historical development of money (money)
Mai Keng (about 2250 BC-about 2 105 BC) was born on the third day of March in the Gregorian calendar of the 23rd year of Yao Emperor and died on June 12th in the Gregorian calendar of the 20th year of Yu at the age of 145. He is the ancestor of the country, and later generations call him Peng Zu. Zhuan Xu's sixth grandson (fourth generation grandson), Huangdi's ninth grandson (seventh generation grandson). After inheriting the clan leader position of his father Lu Zhong, Qiang Keng attached importance to agriculture and animal husbandry and formed a powerful Zhuang tribe. In the forty-eighth year of Emperor Yaodi (2225 BC), Yao Feng made Qiang Keng live in Pengcheng, the Great Guo Peng. In the first year of Yu (2 124 BC), Yu ascended the throne. By the age of 126, he still didn't feel old, and he could host and participate in various activities in the tribe.
First, Geng Keng's life experience

The Yellow Emperor lived in Xuanyuan Mountain, married Lei Zu, the daughter of Xiling family, and gave birth to Changyi and Qingyang (also known as Shao Hao Xiao Xuan). Changyi is like water. Changyi married Chang Pu (also known as Chang's servant), the daughter of Shushan aristocratic family, and gave birth to the great drought (also known as the great drought. Korean wave). Huang Gan married A Nv, daughter of Zhuan Xu (also known as Levin). Zhuan Xu married Lu, the daughter of Teng Benshi (Teng Kuishi), whose surname is Luo. Bo said. Zhuo Bo.

Old boys married the arrogant daughter of Jishui (Genshui) and gave birth to Ng Wui. Ng Wui produces Luzhong. Lu Zhong married Ghost Fang's sister and gave birth to six children. One day, Fan Wei Kun Wu; The next day, Huilian came to attend Hu; The third day is Peng Zu; On the fourth day, it was for the executioner (Yi); On the fifth day, Yan' an (Anzhen) was Cao Shi; The sixth day is the ancestor of rice, bear, Chu, Lian and other surnames. After that, all countries were blocked. Yao Lao put Shun in charge of world affairs and toured the inauguration ceremony. And Yu, Qi, Hou Ji, Boyi, Long, Wei Xiao, Peng and Zushi. During the reign of Shun, 22 ministers were appointed, and Peng Zu was one of them. Marry 53 wives and have 8 1 child. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, King Lu Gong destroyed Confucius' House and obtained a large number of bamboo slips written in ancient boxes. It is said that Peng Zu lived 767 Jiazi without aging, and 882 Jiazi died suddenly. According to the ancient method of recording days, this Jiazi is 60 days, so Peng Zuhuo is 52,920 days, which is 145 years old. When Peng Zu died, 49 wives and 54 sons had already died before him. According to legend, Peng Zu was born on the third day of the third lunar month and died on the second day of the twelfth lunar month.
2. The history of Pengzhou and Wei.
In the fifteenth year of Xia Dynasty (2066 BC), Yu's youngest son was sealed in Xihe (Yicheng, now Fenyang, Shanxi) and rose up against Wu. He ordered Peng Zu's grandson Peng Boshou to conquer Shi Shuai, and Wu Guan was defeated and surrendered. After Hou Yi and Han Biao usurped the Xia regime, in 1990 BC, Pumbaa sent troops to help Shao Kang (the king of the Xia and Six Dynasties) regain the throne and made great contributions. After Shao Kang ascended the throne, he was rewarded for his merits and was named Peng Yuanzhe in Qianwei (now hua county, Henan). Ji is the grandson of Pumbaa Sushou, the tenth grandson of Zhuan Xu Levin and the thirteenth grandson of the Yellow Emperor. At this point, the Shan people have two countries with the same family name-Guo and Qian. In the third year of Shang Dynasty (BC 1434), peng bo helped Shang Dynasty suppress Pi people. In five years (BC 1432), the female ancestor joined the class. Peng Bo led the army to conquer the board houses. The female ancestor surrendered after defeat. In BC 130 1 year, due to the corruption and chaos of the Shang Dynasty at that time, Qian Wei, Da Peng began to break away from the Shang Dynasty, declared its independence and stopped paying tribute. In the 43rd year of Shang Wuding (1 192 BC), Wuding led Julian Waghann to destroy Da Peng. So far, Da Peng has been a state-owned country for more than 1000 years, with 24 generations and 45 kings. After Peng Qianwei lost his country, members of the Yi nationality moved around, nostalgic for the old country, some took Peng's surname as their surname, and those who changed Peng's surname were represented by the virtuous doctor. Some took Wei as their surname, and Wei, who moved south, became the ancestor of southern Zhuang and other ethnic minorities (Zhuang people still have the saying that "Wei exists when there is strength", and the third day of March of Peng Zu's birth is also regarded as a grand festival of their own nation). The foreigners who moved westward took refuge in the Zhou tribe and became an important force to destroy the business in the future. People who moved northward, that is, the later Shiwei ethnic group (also known as "losing Wei" or "losing encirclement"), became the same clan of northern minorities such as Mongolia, Manchu and Korean. When Miao Keng's twenty-eighth generation grandson was in office, he became a sergeant in the whole government (in charge of national tax and money) and then moved. At that time, spring coins were all farm tools money (later shaped like shovels), and Qiang surname was just a money under the bamboo prefix. Because the sound and shape of the word "Qian Qiang" are similar, in order to commemorate the revival of the Qiang people and not forget their ancestral names, descendants took off the bamboo prefix on their surnames, and their surnames were Qian, which was shared by both. In addition, there are descendants who take "Quan" as their surname. When Zhou Wuwang's crusade destroyed Shang Zhouwang, Weber led the army to participate and achieved great results. Later, Xuanfangguo (now Yuanqu County, Shanxi Province) rebelled. The prince of Wu ordered Weber to lead an army to crusade with the imperial army, and destroyed Fang Xuan, making great contributions. BC 1027, after the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wuwang made contributions. In recognition of Weber's achievements, the King of Wu named Weber as his ancestor's Wei land (now a sister village five miles southeast of hua county, Henan Province), which is still called Wei. He also relocated the descendants of his descendants Guo to Yuanyang County, Henan Province, and re-established Guo. During the period when Great Guo Peng and Guo Wei spread to Zhou Nanwang (about 260 BC), this country revived in 767 and died at the same time. It can be seen that the former Great Guo Peng was founded in Pengcheng, and the later Great Guo Peng was revived in Yuanyang, Henan Province. The total existence time of the two should be about 1800 years.
3. Geng Keng's influence on later generations
1. Peng Zu is the pioneer of ancient Taoism in China and a symbol of longevity. He lives a long life by staying healthy. His outlook on life and death, such as the theory of abandoning things, such as eating, resting, quietness, guidance and sex, has had a far-reaching impact on Taoism, Taoism and China traditional culture. 2. Miaokeng (Peng Zu) is the ancestor of cooking and nutritious food in China written records. He is familiar with cooking and once cooked delicious wild chicken soup for Emperor Yao. After eating it, Emperor Yao was very satisfied and praised it.

4. There are many surnames among the descendants of Qiangkeng (Peng Zu), but the clans are mainly Qiang, Qian, Peng, Wei and Quan. Among them, the heyday of money was after Qian Liu, the king of Wu Yue in the Five Dynasties. After the development of Qianliu, a large-scale root-seeking and ancestor worship activity was held. He asked people to search and sort out ancient books, sort out Qian's evolution, and finally discharged a genealogy table. In this table, he is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor and the 72nd generation grandson of Peng Zu (now it should be the 99th generation grandson). Starting from him, he cited a case of the Qing family of Qian, and Qian Liu was the ancestor of the Qing family.
