成氏图腾释义

【释义】成，本义是完成、实现。由戊和丁组成，戊为中宫，万物皆成于中。所以成引申有成就、成功、成为等义。

【起源】源于姬姓，出自周武王之弟的封地郕，以国为氏。有两个几乎同时的分支： 一是.起源于今山东宁阳。西周初年，周武王姬发封其弟、周文王第六子叔武于郕(今山东宁阳)，叔武在郕建立了郕国。周庄王姬佗十一年(公元前686年)，被齐襄公姜诸儿所灭，后代以国为氏，后去邑为成氏。 一是起源于今河南范县西濮城北。几乎在与叔武封地的同时，周武王又将另一个王族季戴，也分封在另一个郕邑(今河南范县濮城)。建立了郕国。周桓王姬林二年(公元前718年)，被卫宣公姬晋所灭，后代以国为氏，去邑为成氏。

Interpretation of the Cheng (成) Surname Totem

【Meaning】

The original meaning of 成 (Chéng) is to complete or to realize. The character is composed of the components 戊 (Wù) and 丁 (Dīng). In ancient philosophy, Wù represents the "central palace" (center), signifying that all things reach fulfillment through the center. Therefore, the meaning of Cheng extends to achievement, success, becoming, and fulfillment.

【Origins】

1. From the Ji (姬) Surname: This lineage originates from the fief of Cheng (郕), granted to the younger brothers of King Wu of Zhou. The descendants adopted the name of the state as their surname. There are two nearly simultaneous branches:

   • Branch 1 (Ningyang, Shandong): At the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wu enfeoffed his younger brother Shu Wu (the sixth son of King Wen) in Cheng (present-day Ningyang, Shandong), where he established the State of Cheng. In 686 BC (the 11th year of King Zhuang of Zhou), the state was annexed by Duke Xiang of Qi. His descendants adopted the state name as their surname and later simplified it by removing the "city" radical (邑), resulting in the surname 成.

   • Branch 2 (Fan County, Henan): Around the same time, King Wu enfeoffed another member of the royal family, Ji Dai, in a different fief also named Cheng (north of Pucheng, Fan County, Henan). In 718 BC (the 2nd year of King Huan of Zhou), this state was annexed by Duke Xuan of Wei. His descendants likewise simplified the state name into the surname 成.
