According to the legend of Xi family, it is more likely that Shandong \ Hebei was changed from other surnames to avoid disaster in history.

Legend of surname:

1. "According to legend, there was an official in an ancient dynasty, and nine of them were destroyed by the court for crimes. When the family got the news, they decided to run away overnight. There are five brothers in this family. They discussed escaping from the four gates of the east, west, north and south respectively. At this moment, Brother Wu said, "I'm not leaving, I'm staying in the city. "In order to recognize each other in the future, everyone decided to change their surnames to" East, West, North and South "according to the direction of escape. The younger brother who didn't escape is Zhong. Later, the younger brother in this surname was arrested and killed by the government, so there was no "Zhong" surname in later generations. Moreover, the four major surnames in the southeast, northwest and northwest have been passed down from generation to generation. "

2. There is a story circulating in Hebei and Shandong from generation to generation: Emperor Zhang Xiaokang (Jixing, Cangxian County, Hebei Province) was a wise man who helped Jianhe (Tianjin Niangniang River) and Pangu Temple in Jianqing County, but his two brothers were killed by relatives in the countryside. 1547 or so, the descendants fled everywhere, and the post-Zhang was divided into four surnames: East, South, West and North. Ming history is vague and ominous. To this end, there is a saying that the surname Zhang is in the southeast and northwest. At present, there are 15 people in our southern surname. It seems reasonable to infer from time. Their statements are basically consistent with western surnames, which shows that these surnames are related to some extent.
