Hao's migration

The Hao family, which started at the end of Shang Dynasty, has been passed down for more than 1000 years, and Taiyuan, Shanxi Province was still its breeding ground in Han Dynasty. Although Hao's family has been distributed in most parts of the north, it mainly took the Central Plains as the breeding center, especially in the Song Dynasty. As for Hao's southward migration, it was relatively late. It was not until the Song Dynasty that the Hao family appeared in some places in the south. This is also the main reason why Hao family was still distributed in the north of China in Ming and Qing Dynasties. In a word, Hao surname is indeed a typical northern surname in China in history.

Hao's family, which began in Haoxiang, Taiyuan at the end of Shang Dynasty, has been passed down for more than 1000 years and still takes Taiyuan, Shanxi as the breeding center. During the Qin and Han dynasties, people surnamed Hao gradually spread and migrated to other places in Shanxi and nearby areas such as Shaanxi, Henan and Hebei. At the end of the Jin Dynasty, due to the transfer of official positions, the Hao family moved from Taiyuan to Danyang, Runzhou (now northeast of dangtu county, Anhui Province), and passed it on to Hao for the seventh time. They served as the prefect of Jiangxia in the Southern Dynasties, and moved from Danyang to Anlu (now Hubei Province). During the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, although the society was turbulent, Hao, who lived in Shanxi, was not greatly affected because of his special geographical position. However, some Vivi, who lives in Hebei, fled the war and moved to Shandong, while some Hao, who lives in Henan, moved to Anhui. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the society was stable, and Hao's family flourished in Jingzhao, Shaanxi Province, forming Jingzhao County, the second largest county of Hao's family in history. Some people named Hao moved to Hubei and Sichuan. After the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, some people surnamed Hao moved to the south of the Yangtze River, while the famous painter who lived in Fenzhou (now Fenyang, Shanxi) moved to Langzhou (now Langzhong, Sichuan) to escape the war and settled there. Before the Tang and Song Dynasties, Hao's family mainly took the Central Plains as its breeding center. As for Hao Nanqian, it was later than his surname and the scale was much smaller. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, more Hao families appeared in some places in the south. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, disasters and epidemics continued, and peasant rebels rose everywhere and then attacked each other, resulting in a sharp decline in the population of the Central Plains, East China and Central China. During the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, Hao, as one of the surnames of people who moved to Hongdong in the Ming Dynasty, moved to Hebei, Beijing, Shandong, Tianjin and other places. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Hao's family spread widely in the south of China, and there were people named Hao in the history of Hunan, Fujian and other provinces. At the same time, there are also Hao families living in Liaoning and other northeastern provinces. In the Qing Dynasty, Hao, who lived in northern Shanxi, followed the trend of moving westward, and some moved to Inner Mongolia and Gansu. However, Hao, who lives in Fujian, traveled across the ocean to Taiwan Province, and then went to Nanyang, Singapore and other places. Because of the war, some people moved to the famous mountain in Ya 'an, Sichuan, and later some people moved to Hanyuan for survival, which made Sichuan have a branch of Hao. However, during this period, Hao still took the north as the center. Today, Hao family is widely distributed in China, especially in Henan, Shanxi and Hebei provinces, accounting for about 59% of the total population of Han nationality.
