Zhou's surname originated in Weihe Plain in Shaanxi Province. The migration and reproduction of Zhou surname from west to east is closely related to the migration of the capital of Zhou Dynasty from Shaanxi to Henan. Since Pingdong moved to Luoyang, the Zhou family has been greatly multiplied and once became a giant family. During the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties, the migration of nobles from various countries when the Qin Dynasty destroyed six countries and the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty provided conditions for the development and spread of Zhou surname.

During this period, the Zhou family migrated to southern Henan and northern Jiangsu, where they formed prominent families, namely the Zhou family in Runan and the Zhou family in Peiguo. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, due to years of war in the north, there was the first great ethnic migration, and the people named Zhou also moved southward with the gentry in the Central Plains.

Around the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Zhou surname developed on a large scale, and warlords in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties were in chaos for decades, especially when the Jin soldiers went south in the late Northern Song Dynasty and the Mongolian soldiers went south in the late Southern Song Dynasty. These wars forced a large number of Zhou surnames in the Central Plains of Henan and Shandong to move south, mainly to Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, people of Zhou family followed Chen Yuanguang into Zhangzhou, Fujian Province.

at the end of the Tang dynasty, Zhou in Gushi county, guangzhou city, Henan province moved to mafu, Jian' ou city, Fujian province, where he lived, and was called "mafu zhoujia". Emperor Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty moved to Xiandian, Chong 'an, Fujian in the second year of Chunhua. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Jin Bing captured Bianjing, and Zhou, a surname from Gushi, Henan, followed Song Nandu and moved to Ninghua, Minting (now Ninghua, Fujian). At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, this Zhou family continued to move south to Meixian County, Guangdong Province.

When the Northern Song Dynasty perished, a large number of Zhou surnames in Shandong and Henan provinces crossed the Yangtze River with Song Gaozong and settled in Zhejiang, which were distributed in Hangzhou, Zhuji, Shaoxing and Xiaoshan. Zhou's entry into Guangdong was a migration from the Central Plains in the late Northern Song Dynasty and the late Southern Song Dynasty. For example, Zhou's family in Xinhuiqiao Pavilion and Zhou's family in Shafufang were originally from Henan, and they migrated south with Song Gaozong in the early Southern Song Dynasty and Song Shaodi in the late Southern Song Dynasty.

at the end of yuan dynasty and the beginning of Ming dynasty, Zhou in Ji' an prefecture of Jiangxi province immigrated to shaoyang area of Hunan province. Since Ming and Qing Dynasties, the provinces with relatively concentrated Zhou surnames are Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Fujian and other provinces. Zhou's family in Taiwan Province is mainly concentrated in Tainan and Taibei, and most of them moved from the north to Fujian and Guangdong, and then from Fujian and Guangdong to Taiwan Province.

Zhou's emigration from the mainland began in the late Qing Dynasty after the Opium War, mainly from Fujian and Guangdong in the mainland. Today, Zhou's population ranks ninth in the country.

Extended information

The origin of the Zhou family:

1. It comes from the surname Ji, and its ancestor is Zhou Wenwang. Hou Ji, the fourth grandson of the Yellow Emperor, is surnamed Ji. Hou Ji is the ancestor of the ancient Zhou clan. After the victory of the Duke of Zhou's eastward expedition, princes were enfeoffed on a large scale, including 53 countries with the surname of Ji. Most of the descendants of these countries named Ji changed their surnames to country names, place names and grandfather names.

in 256 BC, Zhou was destroyed by the state of Qin, and a considerable number of descendants of Zhou imperial clan took Zhou as their surname. After Zhou Pingwang, this branch is usually regarded as the main part of the origin of Zhou surname in China. In addition, after Zhou Nanwang, in the congenital (712-713) years of the Tang Dynasty, Ji's surname was changed to Zhou's for avoiding the name of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Zhou Gongdan's surname is Zhou.

According to the Law of River Map Transportation and Recording, there was a general named Zhou Chang in Xuanyuan of the ancient Yellow Emperor, and there was another Taishi named Zhou Ren in Shang Dynasty. The descendants of both of them took Zhou as their surname.
