Who knows the origin of the surname' you'?

There are two main sources of surnames: one comes from the State of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period, and is said to be a descendant of Liu, who moved to the State of Qin after serving as prime minister abroad, and the surname comes from his name. His descendants are divided into two main surnames, one is You and the other is Yu. The other is from Chu State at the same time. It was named by two famous people: one was Wang Sun "because" who was born in a public family, and the other was Yang, a doctor in Chu State. Their descendants all take "You" as their surname. Historically, county names have formed county names such as Changsha. Famous historical figures include: Zhang You, the satrap of Changsha in the Han Dynasty, Xiangguang Country in the Plain, Qin Long Jinshi Youlimen in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhou Zhiyou Jiufeng in Qinzhou, etc. Widely distributed in contemporary times, there are also a certain number of people in Manchu, Mongolian and other ethnic groups. According to genealogical records, Shandong surnames basically migrated from Sophora japonica (commonly known as Little Yunnan) in Hongtong County, Shanxi Province to all parts of the country during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

The ancestors of this family were moved by the surnames You, You Wu, You, You and their descendants. On the way to immigrate, I once stayed in Zaoqiang, Hebei Province, leaving some children with surnames. Because immigration is compulsory, coupled with the lack of contact after separation and the indifference of time, people all over the world will become strangers. Yu, You Shiwu, You and You lived in Shandong, and their descendants left their descendants in many places. Among them, Yu He finally lived in Youshuang, Changshan County (now Youjia River Beach, Dong Xi Town, zouping county), and then moved to Ziyi Village (now Gaodong Village, Dalinchi Town, zouping county). Shi Heshi moved to Dengzhou (Penglai, Fushan County) to live. Similarly, on the way to emigration, Yu's descendants stayed in Liaocheng, Xintai, Qingdao, Lancun, Rushan, Laiyang, Yexian and Penglai. Therefore, in these places, there are still villages named Yu. But Shanxi's hometown can't find a wide range of residents by surname.

According to records, during the Qianlong and Yongzheng periods of the Qing Dynasty, due to the large population, part of the population of the You family living in Fushan Village in Shandong moved south to Haiyang County and lived in Dagutou Village. With the rapid growth of population, they moved to a small place. Surnames call these two places "big family" and "small family" because the population of small family is growing very fast.

Several groups of people with surnames have also moved to various parts of Northeast China, such as Jinzhou, Dalian, Heilongjiang, Jilin and even Inner Mongolia. Now, the number of surnames in these places has far exceeded that in Ganglang Village, Fushan County, Shandong Province.
