辛氏图腾释义
【释义】 辛,为天干的第八位。在中华传统五行学说中,辛属“金”,在时空上与西方、秋季相配,在五味中对应“辛辣、辛味”。秋季是万物生长成熟、迎来大收获的季节,此时部分果实带有独特的辛辣与芳香之气。在甲骨文中,“辛”字字形如同一把古代的刑刀或雕刻用的锋利凿刀,天然带有刚烈、锋芒毕露、百折不挠的家族图腾寓意。
【起源】 辛氏主要源自莘(shēn)姓,属于以国(地)名谐音简化为氏:
远古夏朝时期,夏王“启”(大禹之子)将自己的一个庶子册封于莘地(故城在今陕西省渭南市合阳县东南一带),建立了莘国。
莘国的王族公族子孙以及当地国人,最初以封国名称为姓氏,世代称“莘氏”。
随着历史的发展与语音的演变,由于“莘”与“辛”两字古音相同或相近,其后裔子孙为了书写与称呼的简便,便隐去上方的“艹”(草字头),改单姓为“辛”,自此形成了独树一帜的辛氏家族。
得姓始祖: 夏王启之庶子、辛开
始祖地: 陕西合阳
郡望堂号: 雁门郡、陇西郡;双贞堂、环翠堂(后世亦有以宋代爱国词人、豪放派大家辛弃疾之功绩为堂号者)

【Meaning】
Xin (辛) is the eighth of the ten Heavenly Stems. According to the Theory of the Five Elements, Xin belongs to Metal. It is traditionally associated with the West (direction), Autumn (season), and the Pungent or Spicy (flavor) of the "Five Tastes." Symbolically, it represents the stage in autumn when all things have grown to maturity; however, because the flavor is "Xin," some fruits possess a pungent or sharp taste.
【Origins】
From the Shen (莘) Surname: The lineage originates from the descendants of Qi, the second king of the Xia Dynasty.
The State of Shen: King Qi enfeoffed one of his concubine's sons in Shen (the ancient city was located southeast of present-day Heyang County, Shaanxi), establishing the State of Shen.
The Evolution of the Name: His descendants initially adopted the name of the fief, Shen (莘), as their surname. Over time, because the pronunciation of Shen was nearly identical to Xin, the "grass" radical (艹) was removed, and the surname evolved into Xin (辛).
