蔣氏圖騰釋義 

【釋義】 蔣是合體象形字。在甲骨文中，下半部像雙手托舉之狀，上半部則是茅草。有資料顯示，「蔣」即為菰草，是一種水生植物，其果實為茭白，可以食用，多生長於南方，這便是「蔣」字的本義。 

【起源】 西周初期，周公姬旦的第三子伯齡被封於「蔣」（今河南淮濱縣東南），建立蔣國。春秋時期，公元前617年，蔣國被楚國所滅，其後代子孫以國名為氏，這就是蔣氏。

Interpretation of the Jiang Clan Totem 

[Definition] "Jiang" (蔣) is a compound pictograph. In Oracle Bone Script, the lower portion resembles two hands holding something upward, while the upper portion represents thatch or grass. Records indicate that "Jiang" refers to Gu grass (Wild Rice), an aquatic plant. Its edible stem is known as Jiaobai (water bamboo). Growing primarily in the south, this is the original meaning of the character "Jiang."

[Origin] During the early Western Zhou Dynasty, Bo Ling—the third son of the Duke of Zhou (Ji Dan)—was enfeoffed in the land of Jiang (southeast of present-day Huaibin County, Henan), where he established the State of Jiang. In the Spring and Autumn period (617 BC), the State of Jiang was conquered by the State of Chu. His descendants adopted the state's name as their surname, forming the Jiang clan.
