童氏图腾释义
【释义】 童的本义是罪奴。在古代,男子因罪沦为奴隶者称为“童”(或“童奴”),女子因罪沦为奴婢者称为“妾”。在甲骨文中,“童”字字形上部像一把施加刺刑的刑刀,中部是一个大眼睛,下部像一个身套刑具、站在土台之上企足远望的人。后引申出幼稚、未成年(如儿童)以及秃顶、山无草木(如童山)之义。
【起源】 童氏源流古老,主要源于姬姓,出自黄帝之孙颛顼帝的儿子老童,属于以先祖名字为氏:
上古五帝之一的颛顼(黄帝之孙)有个儿子叫“老童”(在部分史籍中亦被称为“卷章”),曾率族人居住于騩山。
相传,老童天生拥有一副极好的嗓子,他说话或唱歌时,声音就像钟磬撞击一般宏亮清越,极具音乐的韵味与穿透力。
老童的后代英才辈出,繁衍出了重黎、吴回、陆终、祝融、彭祖等许多上古赫赫有名的部落首领与圣贤。
老童的后世子孙中,有一支以其名号“老童”中的“童”字为姓氏,世代相传,这便是童氏的始源。此外,春秋时期晋国大夫胥童的后裔也演变为了童氏的一支。
得姓始祖: 老童(颛顼之子)、胥童(晋国大夫)
始祖地: 河南新郑
郡望堂号: 渤海、雁门、东莞;阙争堂(亦作“建诤堂”,典出汉代童恢执法严明、敢于直言进谏的功绩)

【Meaning】
The original meaning of 童 (Tong) refers to a servant or slave. In ancient times, men who became slaves due to crimes were called Tong, while women in the same position were called Qie (妾). In Oracle Bone Script, the character Tong depicts a person wearing shackles or punishment devices, standing on a mound of earth, and standing on their tiptoes to gaze into the distance. It symbolizes a longing for freedom or a connection to a specific territory.
【Origins】
From the Ji (姬) Surname (Lineage of the Yellow Emperor): The surname originates from Lao Tong, the son of Emperor Zhuanxu (who was the grandson of the Yellow Emperor).
The Legend of Lao Tong: Lao Tong, also known as Juan Zhang, resided at Mount Gui. Legend has it that he was born with a magnificent voice; whether speaking or singing, his voice was as resonant and clear as a bronze bell or a stone chime (Zhong Qing), full of musical rhythm.
Illustrious Descendants: Lao Tong was the ancestor of many legendary figures in Chinese history, including Zhongli, Wuhui, Luzhong, Zhurong (the God of Fire), and Pengzu (the God of Longevity). His descendants adopted his name, Tong, as their family name to honor their royal lineage.
The Xu Tong Branch: Another branch traces back to Xu Tong, a high official of the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn period, further diversifying the clan's roots.
