Does anyone know the origin of Chu?

Chu (chǔ) surname comes from five aspects:

1, from Mi's surname, takes the country name as the surname. According to the records in Xing Yuan Genealogy and Custom Pass, Zhuan Xu's great-grandson and Zhuan Xu's descendant Liewen were named Jing Guo Hao, and later moved to the capital of Ying City (the old city is now the old Ying City in the north of Jiangling, Hubei Province), and later changed to Chu State, and later generations took Chu as their name.

2, from the surname Ji, with the ancestral name as the surname. According to the genealogy and surname genealogy, the illegitimate child was named after the doctor Zhu.

3, from the ancient sage Chu Lao, Chu surname at the beginning.

4. After Chu Long in the Spring and Autumn Period. According to the Records of Famous Men's Words and Actions, the book was written after Chu Long, the retainer of Zhao Meng (Zhao Xiangzi) in the Spring and Autumn Period.

5, from his family with his surname. Yi people hurt Rao poetry, and Han people surnamed Chu; Tujia and other ethnic groups also have this surname today.

Ancestor: Xiong Yi. The founder of Chu State in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Wen's great-grandson Gou, is a descendant. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, Xiong Ying helped Wu Geng, the son of Zhou Wang, rebel against the Zhou Dynasty. After the failure, he was forced to go south and set Jingshan (now Nanzhang West, Hubei Province) as the base for further development. When I arrived at Xiong Yi, I remembered the merits and made him the capital of Danyang, with the title Jing and Jue Tong Zi Nan. After that, he moved to Ying, the capital, and changed Chu. Chu was the largest vassal state in the south during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and it was once very powerful. In the late Warring States period, Chu was destroyed in Qin, and later generations commemorated the old country. Some people take the country as their surname and call it Chu, and respect Xiong Yi, who founded Chu, as the ancestor of Chu.

Second, migration distribution.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Chu was the largest vassal state in the south, especially Chu Zhuangwang. The country was so powerful that the world dared not compete with it, and it was likely to win the Central Plains. But later, due to the courtiers playing politics, the king of Chu was fatuous. After the reform of Qin State, it rose in the west and Chu State gradually declined. In 223 BC, the State of Chu was finally destroyed by the State of Qin, and a large number of Chu surnames came into being. Before the appearance of Chu surname after Xiong Yi, Chu surnames of other origins have been distributed in Shandong (now Qufu, Shandong) and now Shanxi and Henan. After the Han and Wei Dynasties, the Chu clan was born in jiangling county and Xinping County. Jiangling county is located in Jiangling, Hubei Province, which is undoubtedly one of Chu's ancestral homes. Xinping County is located in Binxian County, Shaanxi Province, indicating that Chu entered Shaanxi early. From the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Chu surname was as silent as that in the Han and Wei Dynasties, and it was difficult to know the exact situation of its reproduction and spread. However, the Chu surname gradually spread to Hunan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Jiangxi, Anhui, Hebei and other places. After the Song Dynasty, more and more people went down in history with the surname of Chu. From the Southern Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, due to the war, Chu gradually moved to Yunnan, Guangxi and Guangdong. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the government was corrupt, the officialdom was dark, wars were frequent, and disasters and epidemics continued. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the population decreased greatly. In order to "alleviate the urgency of the Central Plains", the Ming government forced Shanxi people to emigrate. Therefore, in the early Ming Dynasty, Shanxi Chu family, as one of the surnames of people who moved, was moved to Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Anhui, Beijing and Tianjin. After the mid-Ming Dynasty, there were Chu surnames in Gansu and Ningxia in the northwest of the motherland, and Chu surnames in the southwest entered Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam and Myanmar in the south. At this time, there were also people named Chu from the coastal areas who crossed the ocean and entered Taiwan Province Province or abroad. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Huguang and Zhang washed Sichuan with blood, filling Sichuan, and the Chu surname of the two lakes entered the land of Sichuan and Chongqing today. During and after the reign of Qing Kang Gan, Chu surnames in Shandong, Hebei and other places entered Liaoning and other places with the eastward tide. At present, Chu surnames are widely distributed all over the country, especially in Henan and other provinces. Chu surnames in one province account for more than half of the Han population in China. Chu is the 276th surname in China with a large population, accounting for 0.02% of the Han population in China.
