What name did Ji's descendants change?

The descendants of Ji are Zhou, Wu, Zheng, Lu, Cao and Wei respectively.

The descendants of the Yellow Emperor established the Zhou Dynasty, and in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, they sealed the vassal states, including 53 countries named Ji. Zuo Zhuan said: Fan, Jiang, Xing, Mao, Qian and Ji are also descendants of Duke Zhou. Yu, Guo, Jiao, Slip, Huo, Yang, Han and Wei are all surnamed Ji. Most descendants of the feudal countries and cities with the surname of Ji took the feudal land as their surnames, including Zhou, Wei, Wu, Lu, Hu, Yan and so on, with 465,438+065,438+0 surnames, from which 465,438+065,438+0 surnames evolved into countless surnames. On the contrary, there are not many people surnamed Ji.

Ji's surname originated from Huangdi, the earliest ancestor of Chinese culture. According to legend, the Yellow Emperor took Ji as his surname because of his original surname Gongsun. In the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, because "Ji surname" and "Ji surname" were homonyms, in order to avoid taboo, "Ji surname" was changed to "Zhou surname", which dispersed the power of the Ji surname family.
