Shi is an ancient surname with a long history. According to the Records of Surnames, as early as 4,000 years ago in the Xia Dynasty, there was a prince whose country was named Shi. Later, when their country fell, their descendants took the country as their surname and all took the surname Shi. However, there is a lack of records in ancient books about the subsequent activities of this branch of the Shi family, so there is still no information available on their development and reproduction.
The birthplace of the surname Shi that is currently recognized by the general public is the State of Lu 3,000 years ago. This is based on the records in "Surname Compilation".
The "Surname Compilation" says this: "The son of Lu Hui, Shi's father, was the last son of Shi Bo, and his uncle, Qing Shu, was the filial uncle. Hui Gong was also the grandson of the fifth generation. Because of his surname, Yan, there was a doctorate in the Han Dynasty." It can be seen that the surname Shi is a descendant of Lu Hui Gong, a prince in the Zhou Dynasty. Lu Hui Gong's son was named Shi's father, who was a senior official in the Lu State. When it was passed down to the fifth generation of Hui Gong's grandchildren, they simply took the ancestral name. , to show the difference from other families.
After the Qin and Han Dynasties, the first person to emerge in history was Shi Yu. He was a scholar specializing in the Classics after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism. He once discussed the similarities and differences of the Five Classics with other Confucian scholars in Shiquge, and his eloquent speeches made him famous for a while.
The surname Shi is the 39th most popular surname in Taiwan, but it is not among the top 100 surnames in mainland China. The distant ancestors began in the Xia Dynasty. In the Xia Dynasty, there was a vassal state named Shiguo, located in the area of ??Enshi, Hubei Province today. After the death of the country, the descendants of the public family of Shiguo took Shi as their surname for generations. Development and evolution: There is a branch of the Shi surname that originated from the Zi surname and is a descendant of the Shang Dynasty. According to Zuo Zhuan, Uncle Kang, the ninth son of King Wen of Zhou, was granted the title of Marquis of Wei and was responsible for managing the survivors of the Shang Dynasty. Among them was "Shi", who was said to be a craftsman who made flags. Another branch of the surname Shi comes from the son of Lu Hui Gong Ziwei in the Spring and Autumn Period, whose nickname was Shifu. Later generations took the "Shi" in the ancestor's character as their surname. This Shi surname is a descendant of the King of Lu family and originated from the surname Ji of the King of Lu family. The Shi surname gradually moved southward during the development process. One branch moved to Zhejiang and developed into a prominent family in Wuxing. Therefore, the county with the surname Shi looked to Wuxing.
