However, there is no doubt that the Nie surname originated in the present-day Henan and Shandong areas. The first person with the surname Nie recorded in the annals of history was Nie Zheng during the Warring States Period, who was from Hanzhi (southwest of today's Jiyuan, Henan Province). Later, in the Western Han Dynasty, there was Nie Yi (first name Nie) from Yanmen Mayi (now Shuozhou, Shanxi Province). Weng Yi), in the Eastern Han Dynasty there were Nie Jibao from Xiangcheng, Yingchuan (now Xiangcheng, Henan Province), and Nie Shang, who was the prefect of Shu County (now Chengdu, Sichuan Province) and later became Tingwei. This shows that before the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Nie surname basically relied on the north as the center of its reproduction and development. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Nie surname developed rapidly in the area of ??Xia County in present-day Shanxi, with a large number of people and luxuriant branches. As a result, Hedong County, the largest county in the history of the Nie surname, was born. In addition, due to the social turmoil at this time, some people with the Nie surname moved to the south of the Yangtze River. Among them, those with the Nie surname who were native to the Xin'an River Basin gradually formed the Xin'an County Wang with the Nie surname after multiplication and development. At this time, the figures seen in the historical records include Nie You, a Wu native of the Three Kingdoms, who was from Yuzhang (now Nanchang, Jiangxi Province). There was Nie Song in the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties. It can be seen that the Nie surname had moved south to the present-day Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Anhui areas at this time. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Nie surname still flourished in the two major counties mentioned above, and spread to surrounding areas with these two places as the center. During the two Song Dynasties, the majority of Nie surnames found in historical records were from southerners, and they can be found in Fujian, Hunan, Hubei and other places today, especially after the Southern Song Dynasty was settled in Lin'an. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, because the north had been ruled by the Yi people for many years and was relatively stable compared to the south, new characteristics appeared in the reproduction of the Nie surname, that is, the north developed steadily while the south avoided chaos and spread migration. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, due to warlord disputes, the plague was prevalent, causing starvation and death all over the Central Plains, East China, and Central and South China, and thousands of miles of bare land. After the Zhu Ming Dynasty unified the world, in order to restore the local economy, they forcibly immigrated from Shanxi, which was not affected by the war. As a result, the Shanxi Nie surname was one of the surnames of the people who migrated to the Hongdong Sophora tree in the Ming Dynasty, and was moved to Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui and other places. After the mid-Ming Dynasty, some people with the Nie surname along the coast moved to Taiwan. Zhang Xianzhong's massacre of Sichuan at the end of the Ming Dynasty caused a sharp decline in the population of present-day Sichuan and Chongqing. When Houhuguang filled Sichuan, some people with the Nie surname from the two lakes entered Sichuan. After the Qing Dynasty, the surname Nie spread more widely. Today, the surname Nie is widely distributed across the country, especially in Hubei, accounting for about 15% of the country's Han population with the surname Nie. The surname Nie is the 126th surname in China today. It has a large population, accounting for about 0.1% of the country's Han population.
