The origin of the surname Su.

The Su family inherited Kunwu and originated in Linzhang, Henan.

Su's genealogy is clearly stated in Postscript of Su Xun Genealogy: "Su's family is the first, coming out of Lai, named as the son of Lai, and the son is named Lao Tong, and the old boy gave birth to Li and Li Weizhi, named Zhu Rong, and suffered punishment, followed by Sima, whose brother Wu answered as fire, Wu Zhong and Lu Zongzi were six. , for Peng Zu, the second time, for the people, for Ann, for Cao, for Ji Lian, for Mi. All six people have their own successors, and then they are divided into Lou's family, Kunwu's family and Ji's family name, followed by Su, Gu, Wen and Dong. In Xia Zhishi, Kunwu was a vassal and a businessman, but Kunwu was later unknown. At the weekend, you got angry and gave birth to a shepherd, who can teach people fair punishment. Duke Zhou called it "the so-called Duke Si Kou Su". Both Duke Si Kou Su and Tan Boda were sealed in the river, and their families were sealed in it, so there were Su families in Henan and Hanoi. "

This kind of textual research on the origin of Su surname can actually be applied to Su surnames all over the world, because the origin of Su surname is also introduced in the surname code. "Compilation of Surnames" says: "After Zhuan Xu and Zhu Rong, Lu spent his whole life in Kunwu, sealing Su and Su Cheng. Su Fensheng, whose real name is Zhou Sikou, lives in Hanoi, helping the wind and kung fu. Han, Su Jianming moved to Hanoi to help the wind. "

Therefore, the first Kunwu surnamed Su is a descendant of Emperor Zhuan Xu, whose ancestral home is in the west of Linzhang County, Henan Province. In the early years of the Zhou Dynasty, Su Fensheng, the official admirer of Da Sikou, was sealed in Hanoi by the Emperor of Zhou, so his family moved to Hanoi, now Gansu Province, and continued to thrive. Later, descendants gradually spread all over the country, and the brilliant Su family in Meishan, Sichuan naturally migrated from Hanoi.

Su surname can be said to be an ancient surname that shines in history. It has been glowing since the Spring and Autumn Period 3000 years ago. As we all know, Chu Zhuangwang was one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period, and his success mainly depended on his doctor Su Cong.

By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was another great man in Su's family who became immortal, that is, Su Wu, who was well-known for his three feet.

The literary world of the Song Dynasty seems to be dominated by people named Su. Besides Su Xun, Su Shi and Su Zhe, there is also Su Yijian, who is famous for his articles. Song Taizong once wrote the inscription "Department of Jade Hall". Besides being generous and ambitious, he is also good at writing ancient poems. He helped Ouyang to revise his style of writing, and in his later years he named himself "Canglang Weng" and read it secretly from beginning to end. The collection of "Yi Dai Gao Shun Qin" and "Su" written by him has been handed down from generation to generation.

At the end of Xia Dynasty, countries with Su surname were destroyed, and people took Su as their surname and took refuge in various places. One of them moved southeast to live in Gusu (Suzhou, Jiangsu). One moved northward to Sioux City (now Linzhang West, Hebei Province). When the Shang Dynasty perished in the Zhou Dynasty, most people of this Su tribe moved northward to Suting in Guo Xiang (now southwest of Xingtai City, Hebei Province), and later some people moved along the Su River (now county boundary of Hebei Province). The Sioux people who stayed in Suling surrendered to the Zhou Dynasty. Their leader Su Fen was born in the Zhou Dynasty as a shepherd, was sealed in Wen (now wen county, Henan Province) to establish the Su State, and was conquered by the Northern Emperor in 650 BC. There is also a Sioux who moved south to Meishan, Hunan, and later called Meishan.
