关氏图腾释义

【释义】关，本义是门闩。

【起源】源于姬姓，出自远古帝舜时期养龙高手董父。颛顼有个后代叫董叔安，擅长养龙，古代称马为“龙”。董叔安儿子董父，在帝舜执政时期负责养龙，被封为豢龙氏。在古代，“豢”、“关”二字同音通用，所以后来又写作关龙氏。董父的后裔子孙多有以先祖封号为姓氏者，称豢龙氏、关龙氏，后简为关氏、龙氏。夏王朝末期夏桀执政时期的一位大夫关龙逄，曾因功受封于黄河北邑，史称其地为“关邑”。

nterpretation of the Guan (关) Surname Totem

【Meaning】

The original meaning of Guan (关) refers to a door bolt or a gate bar. It symbolizes the act of closing, securing, or passing through a strategic passage. In ancient contexts, it also represents a "pass" (mountain pass or customs gate), signifying protection and a critical point of entry.

【Origins】

1. From the Ji (姬) Surname (The Dragon Raisers): The lineage originates from Dong Fu, a legendary dragon-raising expert during the era of Emperor Shun. Dong Fu was a descendant of Dong Shu'an (a scion of Emperor Zhuanxu). In antiquity, horses were often metaphorically referred to as "dragons."

2. The Title of Huanlong: During Emperor Shun's reign, Dong Fu was in charge of raising dragons and was granted the title Huanlong-shi (The Clan of Dragon Raisers). In ancient Chinese, the characters "Huan" (豢) and "Guan" (关) were homophonous and interchangeable, leading the name to be written as Guanlong-shi.

3. Simplification and the Martyr Guan Longpang: Many descendants adopted the ancestral title as their surname, which was later simplified to Guan or Long. A famous descendant, Guan Longpang, was a Grand Official (Dafu) during the reign of the final Xia ruler, Jie. He was enfeoffed in a northern city by the Yellow River, historically known as Guanyi (Guan City).

關氏圖騰釋義

【釋義】

「關」的本義為門閂。象徵著關閉、守衛或通過險要之處。在古代語境中，它也代表「關隘」或「關卡」，寓意著防禦與守護。

【起源】

1. 源於姬姓（養龍世家）： 出自遠古帝舜時期的養龍高手董父。顓頊的後代董叔安擅長養龍（古代常稱馬為「龍」）。

2. 豢龍氏與關龍氏： 董父在帝舜執政時期負責養龍，被封為「豢龍氏」。由於古代「豢」與「關」二字同音通用，後來又寫作「關龍氏」。

3. 簡化與夏朝忠臣： 董父的後裔以祖先封號為姓，簡稱為關氏或龍氏。夏王朝末期，大夫關龍逄因功受封於黃河北邑，該地史稱「關邑」。關龍逄以直言敢諫著稱，被譽為中國歷史上第一位忠臣。
