雷姓系承方雷 养蚕嫘祖同宗

关于雷姓的来源,是见诸《姓纂》一书中所说的:“方雷氏之后,女为黄帝妃,生玄嚣,盖古诸侯国也,后汉有雷义,蜀有将军雷同,望出冯翊,豫章。”另外,《通志氏族略》也持同样的看法。   那位为黄帝妃的方雷氏女,有人说她是头一个发明养蚕织布,功在民族进化的嫘祖,嫘祖是黄帝的正妃,则在素来重视所谓“嫡庶”的中国人看来,方氏的始祖玄嚣既为黄帝所嫡出,当然是凭添不少光彩。不过,也有人说,嫘祖是西陵氏之女,究竟孰是孰非,由于年代久远,实际情形就不得而知了。   雷姓最多的地方,根据《姓纂》的记载,是冯翊和豫章二地。冯翊,就是现在陕西省大荔县;豫章,则是现在的江西省南昌县,换言之,后来各地的雷姓人家,应该主要也是从陕西或江西分支出去的。   然而,雷氏实际上并非仅仅是传自方雷氏的一家,根据《姓氏考略》的记载,到了东汉末年以及五胡乱华的时期,还有“潳山蛮”和“南安羌”改姓为雷的,由此可见,早在1800年以前,居住在南方的蛮族和羌族,就有了以雷为姓的人,后来他们全盘汉化,再经过这么长久的时间,现在根本已经与汉族成为一体,再也分不出彼此了。   在历史上,雷姓的知名人物也相当不少,譬如,大家所熟悉的一个成语“如胶似漆”,就是出在东汉时的一位雷义的身上。   唐代的雷万春,也因与张巡并力死守睢阳,而备受后人的尊敬。他是张巡的偏将,强毅用命。安禄山之变,令孤潮围攻雍丘,他站在城上督战,敌军向他连发了六矢,而雷万春面不改色,一动也不动,使敌军怀疑他是一个木刻的人,后来探知原来是一个真的人,令孤潮禁不住赞美张巡说:“向见雷将军已知足下军令矣!”最后,这位连敌人都赞美的勇将,终于与张巡同时死难,英名传流千古。   清代的雷以鍼,更帮了清廷很大的忙,著名的“厘金制度”就是他所推行的。他是道光年间的进士,太平军起,奉办江南军务,其幕府中有谋士钱江,主张收厘捐助饷,开创了厘金制度。以后各省效尤,收效甚钜。雷以鍼因而声名大噪,曾高官至光禄寺卿,显达一时。如不是他推行钱江创设的“厘金制”,清廷粮饷无着,恐早被太平天国倾覆了。

Chinese Family Names

According to the Xinhua Agency (New China Agency), the latest research supported by the National Natural Science Fund Committee gave the new sequence of “Chinese Family Names". Although the three names Li, Wang, Zhang declined in the proportion of the total population, they still take the place of the top 3.

The total population of each of these three names is not exceeding 100 million

This survey was accomplished during two years by Mr YUAN Yida , a researcher of the Institute of Chinese Academy of genetic and developmental biology. Their survey involved 1,110 counties and cities of 296 million people, received 4,100 Chinese Family names. Through the county, region and province population statistics, resulting in the classification of the New Chinese Family Names. The survey showed that among the 4,100 names, the top three are Li, Wang, Zhang, which accounted for 7.4%, 7.2% and 6.8% of China's total population, the total population of each of the three names is less than 100 million; there are 18 names accounted for 1% of China's total population, 129 names accounted for 0.1% of the population and occupied 87% of the total population.

The population of the tree names declined compared with 20 years ago

YUAN Yida showed, according to the data published in1987, that Li, Wang, and Zhang are the largest three names of China, which accounted for 7.9%, 7.4% and 7.1% of the total population. “Li, as the largest name, was declined from 7.9% to 7.4% currently, because there were only 570,000 original samples, but now they reached nearly 3 million.” YUAN Yida said that compared with 20 years ago, the sample of this survey is larger than before, involved nearly 40% counties of China, in almost all areas that the Chinese characters are used. The results are closer to the Chinese names real situation. Especially for the study of Chinese Y chromosome diversity, disease distribution, the origin of the nationality Han, and flow disciplines, the distribution data and areas of the top 300 common Chinese names would provide new clues and information which have the highest valuation in research and practical use.

So far, there are 23,000 names are collected

China was the first country of the world who uses family name, about 5000 years ago; the name has been designated as hereditary, passed through patriarchal way. 20 years ago, it was the first time of CAS natural science approach to the study of Chinese surnames distribution, they announced the classification of 100 common surnames, and this research brings the high concern of both the interior and overseas Chinese.

The Chinese scientists will continue to publish the data and distribution of the top 300 Chinese names and re-publish "the Great Chinese surnames dictionary," which will include over 23,000 names collected in order to advance the development of the name and genealogy culture industries.

Background

20 years ago, 270 million people named Zhang Yuan Wang National experts showed the "Family Names “in census data of 1986. These three clans are the top three.

On May 2, 1987, the studies statistical results of YUAN Yida and Institute CAS of genetic and biology development: the largest three names are Li, Wang, Zhang, which accounted for 7.9% , 7.4% and 7.1% of the total population, the total population of these three names are 270 million, that are the largest three clans groups of world. And the name which Chinese people have used had reached 22,000. According to the introduction of YUAN Yida , the family name research is a science. And Chinese names are the best research target in name study. Chinese surnames reflects the process of Chinese society’s evolution in several thousands years.

There is no one country and a nation in the world that has a long history like China, with 5,000 years continuous history. Such a civilization chain is the most consistent with the laws of genetics. In addition, the Chinese people have a relatively strong in clan concepts, so the persons who have the same name, share the same blood relations often live together. "This is why in the map of China; there is so many village of Zhang's and Villages of Li's,YUAN Yida said.

In 1983, there is a national census in China. The relevant sample data of census are counted in 1986. According to the related information and data, YUAN Yida started the statistical research on family names. In1987, the statistics of YUAN Yida output 12,000 to 13,000 Chinese names. In the same year, the news of Chinese Academy of Sciences doeing the research on family name was disseminated widely by some news media. On May 2, 1987, YUAN Yida published the top 100 names in this statistics, which to be known as "New 100 Chinese Family Names." In "New Family Names", "Li, Wang, Zhang," are the top three. In 2002, a book who has more than 50 million words with 200 charts of name's distribution "Chinese surnames: genetic and demographic groups," announced the research work of 10 years being completed. In the book, after years of collecting and studies of national names YUAN Yida indicated that the biggest three names are Li, Wang, and Zhang.

YUAN Yida said that it’s not easy for these common surnames to continue to today. For example in the dynasty Yuan, to assure the dominion of Yuan, it had been recommended to the emperor Yuan Shun to kill all the people whose names were in the top five. Fortunately the Emperor hesitated before deciding not to do any action, so these people can survive, thus enabling the transmission of the family name transmit to this day.
