According to Yuan He's Surname Compilation and Tong Zhi's Clan Brief, Yang came from Ji's surname, and Jin Wugong (the tenth grandson of Tang Shuyu's son Xie) named his second son Bo Qiao Yu Yang (now in the east ancient city of Fancun, southeast of Hongdong, Shanxi) as Yang Hou, and his son and grandson took the country as their surname.

2. The female Ji surnamed Yang Guo said. This statement is not found in handed down literature, but in unearthed cultural relics (according to Li Xueqin's "Chinese Surnames"). It is said that the female surnamed Yang was earlier than her surname Yang.

3, the sheep tongue heir said. Yang Guo, the surname of Ji, was destroyed in Jin Dynasty, and TONYYOND became the food city of Yangsheshi, the doctor of Jin Dynasty, so Yang also became the surname of Yangsheshi. In addition, it is said that Yangsheshi is the son of Yang Houboqiao. See the New Tang Book "Prime Minister's Lineage Table".

4. Yang Sun's legacy. According to Zuo Zhuan, there was a doctor named Yang Sun in Qin Mugong, who ran in the Song Dynasty because of dereliction of duty, and his descendant Sun surnamed Yang.

5, from the given surname or his family name changed to Yang.

According to Northern History, Yang Yichen's real name was Wei Chi.

the surname is ancestor

Yang Boqiao. In the early years of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wuwang died, and the young Cheng Wang succeeded to the throne. His brother Tang Shuyu was enfeoffed in the Tang Dynasty because of the golden saying that "Tung leaves sealed the king". Xie, the son of Tang Shuyu, later became the marquis of Jin, and passed it on for ten generations. To Duke Wu of Jin, the eldest son of King Wu was Jin Xiangong, and the second son, Boqiao, was enfeoffed in Yang and called the marquis of Yang. In this way, Yang Boqiao became the ancestor of Yang's surname.

Reproduction and Migration

Yang, who originated in Shanxi, was destroyed by Jin, and then migrated to the west, first to Fengyi (now Dali, Shaanxi), then to Huozhou, Shanxi, and then to Henan. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people surnamed Yang had moved to Jianghan area (now Qianjiang area in Hubei Province), and later, due to the growing influence of Chu State, they were forced to move southeast to Jiangxi area. At the same time, there were Yang surnames who moved from Shanxi to Jiangsu and Anhui, so Yang surnames were scattered in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, people surnamed Yang had moved to Sichuan, and Shang Shu was a servant to shoot Yang Xuan and moved to Huiji, Zhejiang. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, except for the famous Hongnong Yang, who lived in Huayin, Shaanxi Province, and the Di nationality Yang, who lived in Qiuchi, Gansu Province, many people surnamed Yang had moved to the south of the Yangtze River because of social unrest, and many ethnic minorities who entered the Central Plains changed their surnames to Yang. In addition, Yang Hui, the tenth grandson of Hongnong Yang Zhen, was appointed as the chief of Taiyuan, and his great-grandson was Sui Wendi Emperor Wen of Sui. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid the rebellion of Anshi, Yang moved to the south again in large numbers. During this period, Yang moved to the Korean peninsula. In the Song Dynasty, Yang invincible Yang Ye lived in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, and Yang Gui moved to Bozhou, Guizhou Province. Thus, by the Song Dynasty, Yang's surname had been distributed in the vast areas of the south of the Yangtze River, and Fujian was the center of his migration. After the end of the Yuan Dynasty, with Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang coastal areas as their original places of residence, people surnamed Yang began to emigrate overseas on a large scale, and their relocation places were mainly concentrated in Southeast Asian countries. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Yunchuan, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, crossed the sea with the army to BeiBorneo (now Heba, Malaysia) and married the daughter of the local chief. Later, the princess was thrown into the sea for martyrdom because of Yang Yunchuan's death, which was a much-told story in the local area. During the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, Yang Aqiu, a coastal man from Fujian, went to India to do business and built a city of China. After modern times, Yang went to Europe, America or Australia to settle down. Nowadays, Yang's surname is widely distributed in China, especially in the provinces in the Yangtze River basin. The distribution law of Yang's surname was originally spread from the middle reaches of the Yellow River and at the foot of Huashan Mountain in history, and from the north to the south, while overseas it was mainly in Southeast Asia.
