百家姓 · Bai Jia Xing
Surname Origin
The surname "Ping" has its origin: It is derived from the Ji surname and is formed based on the name of a fief. According to "Tongzhi - Clan Outline - Named after Fiefs", during the Warring States period, the youngest son of Han Aihou was enfeoffed in Pingyi (near present - day Linfen City, Shanxi Province). In 230 BC, South Korea was conquered by the State of Qin. The descendants of Han Aihou moved from Pingyi to Xiayi (present - day Dangshan County, Anhui Province) and adopted the original fief name "Ping" as their surname.
Famous Story
Ping Dang, styled Zisi, was a native of Pingling during the Han Dynasty. He was well - versed in the story of Dayu's flood control. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty appointed him as Cavalry Colonel, in charge of digging rivers, building dikes, and preventing floods. After Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he promoted Ping Dang to Prime Minister and bestowed on him the title of Inner Marquis. In the following year, when he was to be promoted again and given a salary increase, he declined because of illness. He said, "My official position is high enough, and my salary is sufficient. Leaving too much property for my descendants will make them live a luxurious life."
