程氏圖騰釋義 

【釋義】 程的本義是巫師。在甲骨文中，「程」字像一個人跪在祭壇（或高台）上向天祈禱之狀。 

【起源】 上古時期的帝顓頊，曾任命「重」為南正以掌管祭天，「黎」為北正以掌管治地，後世總稱掌管天地之官為「重黎」。重與黎為兄弟，是顓頊的曾孫。重黎的子孫世襲此職，到了商朝被封於「程」（即今洛陽上程聚），建立程國，爵位為伯爵，史稱「程伯」。西周末年周宣王時期，重的裔孫休父（時稱程伯休父）因入朝擔任大夫、司馬，不再擔任掌管天地之官，他的子孫遂以原封國為氏，這就是程氏。

Interpretation of the Cheng Clan Totem 

[Definition] The original meaning of "Cheng" (程) refers to a shaman or priest. In Oracle Bone Script, the character depicts a person kneeling upon a platform or altar in prayer to the heavens.

[Origin] In ancient times, Emperor Zhuanxu appointed "Zhong" as the Nanzheng (Minister of the South) to oversee celestial affairs and "Li" as the Beizheng (Minister of the North) to oversee terrestrial affairs; collectively, the officials in charge of heaven and earth were known as "Zhongli." Zhong and Li were brothers and great-grandsons of Zhuanxu. Their descendants inherited these positions for generations. During the Shang Dynasty, they were enfeoffed in "Cheng" (the Shangcheng cluster in present-day Luoyang), establishing the State of Cheng with the noble rank of Earl, known as "Cheng Bo." During the reign of King Xuan in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhong’s descendant Xiu Fu (known then as Cheng Bo Xiu Fu) entered the royal court to serve as a Sima (Minister of War), ceasing his traditional role as an official of heaven and earth. His descendants subsequently adopted the name of their fief as their surname.
