Xu is ranked 35th in China and 11th in Taiwan Province Province. The Xu family comes from the Jiang family, and the ancestors of the Xu family are descendants of Emperor Yan. Xu You was a very famous saint in the period of Emperor Yao. Yao wanted to pass on the throne to him because of his virtue, but refused and fled to Lushan for seclusion. Later, Yao asked him to be the first mate of Kyushu, so he ran into the water to wash his ears and said he didn't want to listen. Xu You's descendants have lived in Xuchang for generations. When he arrived, his descendant Jiang was sealed in Xu and established. At the end of the spring and autumn period, it was destroyed by Chu, and people used their surnames, so they called it Xu. Development and evolution: Xu's surname first developed in Henan, and began to migrate around during the Warring States period, and developed to Shanxi, Hubei, Hunan, Hebei and other places.

Speaking of the origin of Xu's surname, many ancient books, such as Zhuangzi Xiaoyao Tour, Xun Zi Yi Rong, Han Feizi, Lu Chunqiu, etc., all mentioned Xu's people and legends about him.

In ancient Yao and Shun times, there was a nobleman named Xu You, who was the leader of Kunwu tribe. He made a living by farming, valuing righteousness over profit, so he gained a high reputation for morality. When Emperor Yao knew about it, he wanted to give him the throne. Xu You refused to be an official, so he fled to Ji Mountain to live in seclusion. Yao asked him to be the head of Kyushu, and he went to wash his ears, indicating that he didn't want to hear this. Finally, Yao passed the throne to Shun. In the monograph on surnames "Jipian", he is considered to be the founder of Xu's surname.

According to records, Xu You led his people to live mainly in Yanling County, Xuchang City, and Jishan, Dengfeng City. Since then, this descendant of Xu You has been handed down from generation to generation. According to the textual research on surnames and their origins, another ancestor of Xu's surname is Bo Yi, a descendant of Shennong.

After Xu's surname was Yandi Shennong, when the Zhou Dynasty enfeoffed the vassal state in 1 1 century BC, Wen Shu, a descendant of Boyi, was established in Xu (now Xuchang City). Because Xu is weak, he is often bullied by Zheng and Chu, so the capital keeps moving. In 506 BC, at the beginning of the Warring States Period, Xu was destroyed by the State of Chu, and Xu's people, in order to miss their motherland,

Now it seems that Xu's surname has a history of thousands of years, whether it originated from Boyi or from Boyi. And these two ancestors surnamed Xu also have a glorious history. Interestingly, the birthplaces of these two Xu surnames are all in Xuchang, an ancient land.

In the history of China, there are many famous people named Xu. During the Warring States Period, there was a farmer named Xu Xing in Chu State.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a famous philologist named Xu Shen. His masterpiece Shuo Wen Jie Zi is a masterpiece of China's classical works and has become an immortal masterpiece. Xu Shen wrote in the narrative of "Shuo Wen Jie Zi": "Zeng Zeng boy, his ancestors are self-inflammatory ... from his own call, his home is here." I'm the great-grandson of the Xu family, and my ancestor is Emperor Yan Shennong ... My ancestor moved from Xuchang to Zhaoling, and has lived by the Rushui River ever since. In just a few words, Xu Shen explained the origin and migration of ancestors clearly.

In the early days, people surnamed Xu flourished in Henan. In the late Warring States period, it began to migrate to Shanxi, Hubei, Hunan and other places. By the Han Dynasty, Xu's surname had developed to Anhui, Shandong, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang today.
