涂氏图腾释义
【释义】 涂(古多作“塗”),字形结构由水、土和“余”组成。在甲骨文中,“余”字像一栋房屋,配以水和土,象征着居住于临水或土地治理之地,其本义与地理方位及古代土地职官相关。
【起源】 涂氏历史悠久,主要源于姬姓智氏,属于以官职(地名)为氏:
北方起源: 出自春秋时期晋国大夫“智徐吾”(又称知徐吾,为智文子之子,智氏六世祖)。公元前 514 年,晋国卿大夫魏献子主持公道,将祁氏与羊舌氏的封邑进行分配。魏献子见智徐吾为人忠谨、善守家业,便提拔他担任“涂水大夫”(管辖今山西榆次一带的涂水邑)。智徐吾的后代子孙便以这一官职所辖的地名“涂”为姓氏,世代相传。
南方望族: 传至晋朝时期,涂氏出了一位杰出的政治家与军事家——涂钦。他是东晋王朝的开国重臣,官至大司马,被封为“新吴侯”(治所今江西省奉新县)。涂钦的入赣,使涂氏在南方落地生根,成为东南八省涂氏公认的开基始祖,后世因此有“豫章涂氏”之称。
得姓始祖: 涂钦(东南八省始祖)、智徐吾(得姓始祖)
始祖地: 山西榆次(涂水邑)、江西奉新(新吴)
郡望堂号: 豫章、南昌、宜黄;五桂堂

【Meaning】
In ancient times, the characters 涂, 涂, and 塗 were used interchangeably. The character 塗 is composed of the radicals for Water (水), Earth (土), and the character Yu (余). In Oracle Bone Script, the component Yu resembles the structure of a house. Together, the totem signifies a settlement built near water and fertile soil, representing a stable and prosperous household.
【Origins】
From the Ji (姬) Surname (State of Jin): The lineage originates from Zhi Xuwu, the son of Zhi Wenzi. Because the ancient character for "Zhi" (智) was interchangeable with "Zhi" (知), he is also known as Zhi Xuwu. He was a Grand Official (Dafu) of the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn period and a sixth-generation ancestor of the Zhi clan.
The Fief of Tushui: In 514 BC, after the Qi and Yangshe clans of Jin were eliminated by the "Six Ministers," General Wei Xianzi divided the Qi clan's lands into seven counties. Regarding Zhi Xuwu as a capable descendant who could preserve the family legacy, Wei promoted him to the position of Grand Official of Tushui. His descendants adopted the name of the Tushui River (which flowed through present-day Yuci, Shanxi) as their surname. This is the earliest recorded origin of the Tu surname.
Expansion to the Southeast: During the Jin Dynasty (266–420 AD), a famous descendant named Tu Qin served as a high-ranking founding official, Grand Marshal, and the Marquis of Xinwu. He was enfeoffed in Xinwu (present-day Fengxin, Jiangxi) and is revered as the founding ancestor of the Tu clan across the eight southeastern provinces.
