My mother's hometown is in Nanyang, Shantou City. Almost all of them are surnamed Guo ... A few days ago, it seemed to be "the twelfth ancestor's birthday". Very lively!

In the 14th year of Jiading in Song Dynasty (AD 122 1), Guo Hao was appointed as an official. At that time, pirates were rampant along Fujian coast, and many residents moved to Chaozhou, Taiwan Province Province and Hainan Island. Guo Hao did not return to Putian, and moved to Chaoyang with his father Zheng Guo (the ancestor of Guo surname in Chaoyang). When leaving Guangxi, the people waved tears to bid farewell along the street, and there was no one over the street. After Guo Hao arrived in Chaoyang, he chose a place at the foot of Xiaobei Mountain and on the bank of Rongshui River to settle down. Surrounded by streams, the village is named Zhu Qiao Village (now Jinyu Town, Shantou, Guangdong) with bamboo as the bridge. Guo Haosheng has four sons, who were founded in Quantang (now Xiqiao Town, Shantou, Guangdong Province), Tongwan (now Tongyu Town, Shantou, Guangdong Province), Zhu Qiao Village and Nanyang Township (now Guiyu Town, Shantou, Guangdong Province).

Guo Lin, Guo Haosheng's fourth son and eldest son, is handsome and lives in Yupu (now Jinyu Town), Xixi (now Jinyu Town) and Quantang (now Xilu Town) in Feng 'en Township. The second son, Guo Qiu, was named after Tongwan Village (now Tongwan Town) in Xinxing Township. Later generations created Xiashan Mansion in Xi Gu and Guang Mao in Gurao, where they practiced in South China and Britain. The third son, Guo Lang, is a handsome genus and still lives in Zhu Qiao. Tetrapod (1224-? ), the word Gaiwa, was founded in North Nanyang, Xinxing Township, and was founded in Nanyang Village (now Guiyu Town) in the second year of Baoqing in the Southern Song Dynasty.
