I. Main sources

1, from Shu 'an. Shu 'an is a descendant of Emperor Zhuan Xu, and the Xia Dynasty was given the title of Hou, and later generations took the country as their surname. With Liao Yin, also in ancient books? Still Liao. According to legend, from the thirty-seventh generation of Shu to the Spring and Autumn Period, ""was changed to "Liao" and became the surname of Liao.

2. From Liao Bo. Liao Bo is the son of Zhou Wenwang and the half-brother of Zhou Wuwang. After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, King Wu made him an earl. Later generations thought that the surname was Liao.

3. From Hao Tao. Hao Tao is a descendant of Emperor Zhuan Xu, the leader of Dongyi, and his surname is Yan. His descendants were sealed in, and their descendants took the country as their surname, namely Liao. Hao Tao's descendants were sealed in the ancient country, so it is located in Gushi County, Henan Province, and there is a city post in the east of the county.

4. From Zhao. Zhao is a descendant, and his ancestor is Zhao, the son of King Wen. Zhao was an official of Zhou in the Spring and Autumn Period, and later generations took Liao as their surname.

Second, Miao, Yan and Liao are of the same origin. These three surnames are all from Zhuan Xu and Zhou Wenwang, and they are related by blood. Today, there are still many "Miao Yan Liao ancestral halls" in some areas of Fujian and Pingyang and Cangnan counties of Zhejiang, which shows that the blood relationship of the three surnames has been passed down from generation to generation and has been preserved to this day. In addition, at the end of Shang Dynasty, Zhou Wang had no idea. Because he abandoned his official and hid in Luoyang Valley, he changed his surname to Liao, leaving a shape to show that he did not forget his origin. It was not until the demise of Shang Dynasty that some of them restored their original Miao and Yan surnames. The other part still retains the surname Liao and becomes the ancestor of some people named Liao later.

Third, give the surname, borrow the surname, and share the surname. Given the surname, in the twenty-third year of Qing Qianlong (1758), Gaoshan people were given seven surnames: Wei, Jin, Qian, Liao, Wang, Pan and Li. Liao, a member of Gaoshan nationality in Taiwan Province province, was given this surname. Borrowing surnames, Liao surnames are found in Han surnames of Miao, Zhuang, Tujia and Yao ethnic minorities. The joint surname, Zhang Liao in Taiwan Province Province, also known as "Shuangliao", originated in Zhaoan County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, and was the combined surname of Zhang Liao at the end of Yuan Dynasty.

Migration and distribution

In the pre-Qin period, Liao's activities and distribution areas were mainly in Shaanxi, Henan and Hebei in the Yellow River Basin. During the Han and Three Kingdoms periods, many Liao surnames lived in the Yangtze River valley. After Sui and Tang Dynasties, the south became the main area where Liao surnames were distributed. The extinction of Chu people in the Spring and Autumn Period, the "five wild flowers" in the Jin Dynasty, the "Jingkang Revolution" in the Song Dynasty, the enslavement of Han people and southerners by Mongolian nobles in the Yuan Dynasty, the large-scale migration of Huguang into Sichuan and Jiangxi to Huguang in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the prosperity of commodity economy in coastal cities all had a great impact on the migration of Liao people. The large-scale southward migration of Liao people began in the Jin Dynasty, and there were five large-scale southward migrations with clear veins.

1, Liao moved from Luoyang, Henan Province to Songyang County, Zhejiang Province at the end of Xianxi Jin Dynasty. Liao Congxian, the son of Liao, the general of the Western Jin Dynasty, moved from Luoyang to Shunyi Township, Songyang, Yongjia, Zhejiang Province, which had the greatest influence on the later development and reproduction of Liao's surname.

2. During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Liao Chongde moved from Songyang, Zhejiang to Hua Qian, Jiangxi. Liao Chongde was Liao's grandson in 12. He was appointed as a county magistrate by Ming Jing in the imperial examination, and then moved to Hua Qian by Songyangju (now Ningdu County, Jiangxi Province). Chongde thus became the ancestor of Liao people in Ningdu, and Ningdu became one of the birthplaces of Liao people.

3. Liao Fan Shi moved to Shanghang, Fujian in Song Dynasty. Liao Hua is a descendant of Liao Chongde. During the Song Dynasty, Heyang, Shunchang County, Yanping Prefecture, Fujian Province moved to Guofang, Shanghang County, Fujian Province, which is now Lanxi Town, Shanghang County. Fan Shi is the ancestor of Liao surname in Shanghang and Yongding, Fujian, and is usually called "the ancestor of Hangzhou and Ningbo" in Fujian. There are many celebrities in his descendants. Liao, the ancestor of the famous figure named Liao in history, is the eighth grandson of South China University of Technology.

4. Liao Zhongyuan moved to Meizhou, Guangdong at the end of Song Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty. Liao Zhongyuan is the fifth grandson of Fan Shi, the ancestor of Hangyong. 1276, Wen Tianxiang recruited rebels in Fujian and other places to recapture Jiangxi. Zhongyuan joined Wen Tianxiang's team at this time, and was later defeated in Jiangxi. Liao Zhongyuan retired from Fujian to Meizhou, Guangdong, and settled in Meizhou, becoming the founder of Liao family in Meizhou.

5. Liao Jianyuan moved to Binyang County, Guangxi in Song Dynasty. Liao Jianyuan is a subordinate general of Di Qing. During the reign of Injong V, Guangxi agricultural intellectual rose up against the Song Dynasty, and Di Qing led 30,000 troops to conquer it in Guirenfu (now the suburb of Nanning, Guangxi). Liao Jianyuan then led the army to suppress the remnants of agricultural wisdom in Jingyan area. After the incident, he continued to be a village official and settled in Binyang. Its descendants are the oldest among Liao surnames in Guangxi.

At present, Liaoning has the largest population and the most densely distributed provinces are Jiangxi, Fujian, Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi. Overseas Liao people are most concentrated in Southeast Asia. Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and other countries have a large number of Liao people living and living. There are many overseas Chinese surnamed Liao in other countries such as Japan, the United States, Canada, Britain, France and even other parts of the world.
