Migration of Liang surname

Before the Jin Dynasty, Liang's surname was concentrated in all parts of the north, and the northwest was the main distribution area. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Liang was scattered in Hedong (now Shaanxi), and when Han Jing was in office, he was the magistrate of Taiyuan. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Liang moved from Hedong to the north (now Yaoxian and Fuping in Shaanxi). At the time of Emperor Ping of Han Dynasty, Liang's descendants had been divided into two branches: one lived in Anding (now eastern Gansu and most parts of Ningxia); Living in the wind (now the west of Guanzhong, Shaanxi Province). When Liang moved south, it was the "Yongjia Rebellion" in the Western Jin Dynasty. When crossing the river with Jindu, it flourished between Qiantang (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province) and Hepu (now Hepu, Guangdong Province), and later started in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, the ancestor of Fujian and Guangdong. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the surname Liang had a new development in the south. At the end of the Song Dynasty, the nomads from the Golden Army entered the Central Plains until the Mongolian army went south, and Liang moved south again. Zhiyuan and Liang Ming have developed into a big family in Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang, which are spread all over the country.
