When Wu Ding, King of Shang Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, his national strength was weak and he tried his best to restore the prosperity of Yin and Shang Dynasties, but he was worried because he could not find a good minister to assist him. According to legend, one night, Wu Ding dreamed that a saint named "Shuo" helped him, so he searched everywhere and finally found it in Yanfu, east of Pinglu, Shaanxi. This man is Fu Shuo, a saint born as a slave. Wu Ding trusted Fu Shuo very much, and Qi Xin worked together to make the Shang Dynasty reach its peak, which was called "Wu Ding Zhongxing" in history. After Wu Ding's death, later generations thought that he was worthy of his surname compared with Cheng Tang, the founding monarch, so he took his name as Wu's surname and named Wu Ding the ancestor of Wu's surname.

■ Migration distribution

The surname Wu originated in Henan Province. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Wu quickly migrated to neighboring Shandong, Jiangsu and other provinces. Guo Pei (now Pei County, Jiangsu Province) followed Liu Bang at the end of Qin Dynasty. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, he was awarded an official title, and his children were also commended and respected. The descendant Guo Peijun made him the ancestor of Kaiji. From the Wu surname in Shandong to the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has always been a prosperous and prominent family. Jining, Shandong Province still has a portrait of Shiwu Temple in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was painted by Emperor Huan. According to the Book of the New Tang Dynasty and the Prime Minister's Genealogy Table, there was a Confucian scholar in the Western Han Dynasty who was sealed in Zou Liang (now Jinan, Shandong Province) and dispersed to Wudu, where he was appointed as the satrap of Liu Chen (now Henan Province) and the satrap of Runa (now Henan Province). During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, in view of the war in the north, the gentry of the Central Plains went south in succession, and Wu was one of them. Wu Ru's descendants, Wu Zhou and his son, were officials of Cao Wei. Later generations thought that Taishan was the satrap, Wu Nian was the satrap Luo Shi, Wu Qia was named Jinyang Gong, and Daling County was unnamed (now Wuling Village in the northeast of Wenshui County, Shanxi Province). In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Wu Jian was appointed as the king of Yongchang, to discuss the matter of joining the army. The Tang Dynasty was the most prominent Rong Da stage in the history of Wu surname. The above branch of Wu developed into a military commander, who was then the minister of the Ministry of Industry and was appointed as lord protector. His daughter Wu Zetian ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and the Wu clan expanded continuously, thus forming a big county with her ancestral home Taiyuan as Taiyuan county. During this period, many celebrities named Wu entered North Korea or served as local officials, making Wu's breeding grounds spread all over the world. During the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Wu's surname was still a typical northern surname, although it was constantly migrating, such as avoiding the war disaster of the Jin people going south, the Mongolian army entering the Central Plains, and the migration of the big locust tree in the Ming Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, people surnamed Wu also crossed the sea to enter Taiwan, and then moved to Singapore and other places. Today, the surname Wu is more common in Henan, Heilongjiang and other provinces, and the population of these two provinces accounts for about 37% of the Han population. Wu is the 95th surname in China with a large population, accounting for 0. 18% of the Han population in China.
