Surnames come from four sources:

1, from Jiang. According to the records of Records of Yuanhe Family, Genealogy of Wanxing Family, Genealogy of Tongzhi Family and other materials, the son of posthumous title was Qi, and later generations took posthumous title as their surname and called Ding Shi.

(1) Sun Suogai, who is a descendant of Ji. According to the biography of the Three Kingdoms and the River Table, "Sun Quan was burned by Sun Kuang, so he lacked military service, and the other nationalities were Shi Ding." Therefore, among the descendants of China, especially in the south, some of them were descendants of Ji, because they came from their eldest son, Kang Shu.

For example, the legend of Ji Fang Gao Shi in Lingshan said: "In the Year of the Crane, there was a westerner, great-grandfather Aladdin, who thought hard. His father was Urudin and his brother was Amoddin. The Year of the Crane has been called a T-family since his great-grandfather. I don't know what it means. Later generations took the Year of the Crane as Ding Shi. "

In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he served as Zhou Taishi, and was awarded the title of Qi State (now northern Shandong) for his meritorious service in helping the King of Wu destroy the business. His son, Zhou Chengwang, was an important official in the imperial court at that time, and was also the minister in charge of Zhou Kangwang's life.
