Ong Clan Ancestor of Hokkien Jin Jiang City (福建晉江王氏始祖)

Upon request, in here, I will do a quick introduction on the Ancestor of Ong Clan of Hokkien Province Jin Jiang City (福建省晉江市).

Before I start on the introduction of the Ancestor of Jin Jiang City, I will need to do a brief intro on the History of when Wang aka Ong Surname originated (王姓起源).

Origin of Surname Wang aka Ong

The Surname Wang aka Ong was First Originated in Zhou Dynasty (周朝), after Crown Prince Jin (太子晉), the 23rd Generation Descendant of Ji Chang (姬昌) aka Emperor Wen of Zhou (周文王), being down-graded to an Commoner by his Father, the 22nd Emperor of Zhou Dynasty (周朝廿二世王).

After Prince Jin was being chase-off from the Zhou Empire, he fled to a faraway area to hide from the disaster of being Killed by his own Royal Family. Soon, Prince Jin got married and gave birth to a Son , named as Jing Zong (敬宗).

18 Years passed, Jing Zong had grow-up and soon after he knew that his Father was being wrongly punished and worried that he might get Killed by his own Cousins (as the 24th Generation of Zhou Empire, other People might worried that he'll returned one day to snatch the Throne) and so, Jing Zong changed his Surname from Ji (姬) to Wang (王).

From then, Wang Jing Zong shifted to Tai Yuan City (太原市) to stay. Soon, his Surname Lineage started to expand. Only then in Yuan Dynasty (元朝), due to War & dis-order, then the Surname Wang aka Ong started to have a Mass-mirating out to other Places in China.
