Interpretation of the Shi (时) Surname Totem

【Meaning】

The character 时 (Shi) primarily means "season." An ancient year is divided into four Shi, representing the four seasons. By extension, the character also refers to time, opportunity, and the twelve double-hour periods (Shichen) of the traditional Chinese day.

【Origins】

1. From the Zi (子) Surname: This lineage originates from Shen Shu Shi, a Grand Official (Dafu) of the fief of Shen (present-day Nanyang, Henan) in the State of Chu during the Spring and Autumn period. The surname was adopted from the last character of the ancestor's name.

2. Historical Lineage: The Shi clan has a long and storied history, tracing its ultimate ancestry back to Boyi, a noble and high-minded scholar who lived over 3,100 years ago (at the transition between the Shang and Zhou dynasties).
