What is the origin of surnames?

Originated from the surname Zi, from the feudal town where Dr. Song came, belonging to Juyi surname. According to the historical book Shiben, "the surname of the world, the surname of the son, comes from Yin."

"Historical Records Yin Benji" says: My son has made great contributions to water control, "sealing things up and giving the word stone". Sun Lu (Cheng Tang), the 14th emperor of Qi, founded the Shang Dynasty around 1600 BC. After Zhou Wuwang destroyed the Shang Dynasty, Zhou Wang's son, Wu Genglu, was appointed as his father to manage the adherents of the Shang Dynasty in the old capital of the Shang Dynasty. After the Three Prisons Rebellion, Wu Genglu's father was defeated and killed.

So the Duke of Zhou was ordered to become king, and he was appointed as the guardian by his ordinary brother in the Song Dynasty (now Shangqiu, Henan Province). His descendant, Dr. Song Gongzi, came and was sealed in the eleventh. Their descendants took Shi Yi as their surname, and later generations respectfully called the son "Shi Lai".

As far as other ethnic minorities are concerned, China people change their surnames or Han people change their surnames. Today, Miao, Hui, Man, Lisu, She and other ethnic minorities sometimes have the population distribution of surnames. Most of the sources are the policy of retaining people and the movement of changing the land into the stream promoted by the central government of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and the surname of "teacher" has been passed down from generation to generation, with a small population.

Extended data:

Shi originated in the south of Henan Province and belonged to the State of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, which was once very powerful. However, as a public family of Chu, due to official reasons, the surname of Shi was scattered in Chu with the passage of time.

During the Warring States Period, people who took Shi as their surname, such as Shi Zi, a sage of Qi State and Tie Shi, a courtier of Yue State, were all outstanding figures in history, indicating that people who took Shi as their surname were sometimes registered in Qi (now northern Shandong) and Yue (now Zhejiang). There were farmers in the Han Dynasty, and people in Shouchunling and Julu County (now Julu, Hebei Province) were young.

When they moved to Lintao, Gansu, they were also numerous and flourishing. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the surname of Julu County developed rapidly and flourished as the surname of Julu County. At the same time, the historical surnames who migrated from southern Henan to Kaifeng, Henan Province also flourished.

From then on, all the surnames in China came from these three places. As the old saying goes, a tree in China is one foot high, and the fallen leaves return to their roots. Most surnames moved to neighboring places, and few people moved away from home. So from this time to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, neighboring provinces such as Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Shaanxi and Shanxi sometimes moved in.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, because Kaifeng was the capital, the surname Chen was still prosperous. During the Southern Song Dynasty, there were more and more celebrities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and more and more locals moved from the north to the south of the Yangtze River. For example, Time and Shi Jianheng moved from Daming, Hebei Province to Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province. In the early Ming Dynasty, Shanxi surnames were moved to Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Anhui and other places.

After Qing Kanggan, Henan, Hebei and Shandong provinces made a living and settled in the three northeastern provinces. The current surname is widely distributed throughout the country, especially in Henan and Shandong, which account for about 66% of the Han population in the country.
