Interpretation of the Zhu (祝) Surname Totem

【Meaning】

According to the Shuowen Jiezi: "Zhu refers to the person who supplicates to the ghosts and gods during sacrifices." In Oracle Bone Script and Bronze Script, the character Zhu depicts a person kneeling before a divine tablet or altar, appearing to be chanting or reciting prayers. It symbolizes the sacred connection between the human realm and the spiritual world.

【Origins】

1. From Official Titles: In ancient times, there was an official post in charge of sacrificial rituals called "Zhu." These individuals also served as scribes, known as Zhu Shi. This office began in the mid-to-late Shang Dynasty, and the descendants of these officials adopted the title as their family name.

2. From the State of Zhu (Ji Surname): King Wu of the Western Zhou Dynasty enfeoffed a branch of the Yellow Emperor's descendants in the land of Zhu (present-day Changqing, Shandong), establishing the State of Zhu (also known as the State of Zhu-Ke). After it was annexed by the State of Qi, the descendants used the state name as their surname, Zhu-Ke, which later split into the single-character surnames Zhu and Ke.

3. From the Fire God Zhurong: Zhongli, a grandson of Emperor Zhuanxu (a descendant of the Yellow Emperor), served as the "Fire Official" (Huo Zheng) for Emperor Ku (Gaoxin-shi). He was known by the title Zhurong. His descendants adopted this title as their surname, which was later simplified to Zhu.

祝氏圖騰釋義

【釋義】

《說文解字》：「祭祀時司告鬼神的人為祝」。在甲骨文和金文中，祝字像一個人跪在神主面前念念有詞之狀。它象徵著人類與神靈世界之間的神聖溝通。

【起源】

1. 源於官職： 古代有主管祭祀儀式的官，叫「祝」；祝為史官，故稱祝史。祝史之官始於商朝中後期，其後代以官為氏，稱為祝氏。

2. 源於祝國（姬姓）： 西周武王封的一支黃帝族後裔於祝地（今山東長清祝阿故城），後建有祝國（祝柯國），後為齊國吞滅。子孫以國為氏，稱祝柯氏，後分衍為單姓祝氏、柯氏。

3. 源於祝融（火神）： 黃帝之裔顓頊之孫重黎，為高辛氏火正。以先祖官職稱謂為姓氏，稱祝融氏，後簡為單姓祝氏。
