邵氏圖騰釋義

• 【釋義】 邵的本義為古邑名。古時「邵」、「召」通用。邵來自「召」，「召」的本義是用酒肉宴請賓客。

• 【起源】 邵氏源於姬姓。周初大臣召康公（姬奭），因食邑於召（今陝西鳳翔）稱為召公或召伯。周武王滅商後，移封召國於河南濟源西的召亭。後來召公奭之長子轉封於北燕國，留在濟源的次子仍稱召公，三子南遷到河南南召。到了戰國時期，住在今河南汝南和安陽的召氏，因避事，在「召」字旁加「邑」（⻏），形成邵氏。因召、邵本是一姓，古時通用。漢代及以前的人物大都寫作「召」氏，三國以後則多為「邵」氏。

Interpretation of the Shao (邵) Clan Totem

Definition of the Character: "邵" (Shao) was originally the name of an ancient fief. In antiquity, the characters "邵" and "召" (Zhao) were interchangeable. The character Shao is derived from Zhao, which carries the original meaning of inviting guests to a feast with wine and meat.

Origin: The Shao surname originates from the Ji (姬) royal surname of the Zhou Dynasty.

• 1. Duke Kang of Zhao (Ji Shi), a high official during the early Zhou, was enfeoffed at Zhao (modern-day Fengxiang, Shaanxi), thus becoming known as Duke Zhao or Lord Zhao. After King Wu defeated the Shang, the State of Zhao was moved to Zhaoting (west of modern-day Jiyuan, Henan).

  2. Later, Duke Zhao’s eldest son was re-enfeoffed at the State of Yan, while his second son remained in Jiyuan as the Duke of Zhao, and his third son moved south to Nanzhao, Henan.

  3. During the Warring States period, members of the Zhao clan living in Runan and Anyang added the "City/Fief" radical (⻏) to their name to avoid certain social or political entanglements, creating the Shao surname. Historically, figures before the Han Dynasty were mostly recorded as "Zhao," while "Shao" became the standard from the Three Kingdoms period onward.
