My surname is Suo. Who knows about Suo's deeds?

1. Origin of surnames

The surname Suǒ has two origins:

1. It comes from the surname Zi, one of the seven princes of Shang and Yin Dynasties, and the king of Tang descendants. According to the "Compilation of Yuanhe Surnames", there were seven branches of princes and nobles in the Shang Dynasty, forming seven surnames. After the fall of the Shang Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty was established. King Wu of Zhou enfeoffed Boqin, the eldest son of Zhou Gongdan, to Lu (today's Shandong Province), established the State of Lu, and moved six of the seven Yin and Shang tribes to the State of Lu. These six surnames were Xu and Tiao respectively. , Xiao, Suo, Changshao and Weishao. King Wu of Zhou made great efforts to destroy the Suo family of Zhou, and later settled in the state of Lu and became a famous family.

2. His surname was changed. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, a large number of Hu people settled in the Central Plains, and some of them changed their surnames.

2. Migration Distribution

The (missing) Suo surname is not among the top 100 surnames in both mainland China and Taiwan. In ancient times, King Wu of Zhou defeated King Zhou, destroyed the Shang Dynasty, and established the Western Zhou Dynasty. Among the surviving families of the Shang Dynasty, there are the seven famous noble families formed during the Shang Dynasty. There are many capable people among them, and Suo's surname is one of these six families. King Wu of Zhou respected them very much, but he was also afraid that they would become a resurgence force for the Shang Dynasty. Later, the Wu Geng Rebellion occurred. After Zhou Gongdan put down the rebellion, he decided to move six of the tribes to the State of Lu, and named Bo Qin, the eldest son of Duke Zhou, as the king of the State of Lu. This would allow the six prominent families of the Shang Dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment. On the one hand, you can monitor them. According to the "Compilation of Yuanhe Surnames", the Suo family in my country was one of the seven major families in the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
