"Wei" records: "The ministries in the Western Regions rejected Gan's family and later changed to Xue's."
"Tongzhi Clans": "There is Xue family in western Liaoning."
Judging from the above records, Xue's surname has a long history, and its two surnames, one is Ren and the other is undoubtedly its two main streams. By the Warring States period, Xue was already a celebrity with talented people. For example, Xue Juzhou, who advocated order throughout the ages, Xue Ju, who was famous for his sword dancing in Qin State, and Xue Ou, who later assisted Liu Bang in making contributions to the world and ranked 14th among the eighteen ranks set by Emperor Gaozu, were all famous figures in early history.
From the records, we also found that before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Shi Xue had nothing to do with Hedong, because before that, there was no Shi Xue clan in the original place of Hedong. According to the book of the New Tang Dynasty (Volume 73), Shi Xue's Three Prime Ministers' Pedigree Table records:
(Donghai phase) originated from another orchid in Yanzhou and was killed by Cao Cao. The word Yong, long word, entered Shu from Shu ancestors and served as Shu county magistrate. Eternal life, the word, the satrap of Bashu county, the death of Shu, led 5 thousand households to decline to Wei, worshipped Dr. Guanglu, moved to Fenyin and Hedong, and studied in Shu with the world name. The second son: Yi and Shi. Boyi, named Feng, the northern satrap, attacked Yan. The third son: restoration, sculpture and prosperity. Hui opened a name, Hedong satrap,no. "Beizu"; Carve "Nanzu"; Xing, the number "Xizu".
Combined with the historical background at that time, that is, in an era when the concept of family status was attached great importance, Xue's move to Hedong was bound to be discriminated against by the well-dressed aristocratic families there. The Xue family did not rise until the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and for a long time after that, it was regarded as "non-Han" by the people in the Central Plains, and was scorned as "Hedong Shu" or "Shu Xue". Obviously, other big families are trying to draw a line with it. Such qualifications and status are not only inferior to first-class guilds, but also inferior to second-and third-rate families, and there are good reasons to despise them. But it is such a cold-eyed family that was quickly listed as the surname of the county after the development of the sixteen countries in Hedong to the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, together with the halls since the Han and Jin Dynasties. After the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Eastern (Western) Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty (Zhou Dynasty) and even the entire Sui and Tang Dynasties, it lasted for a long time and eventually developed into a truly important gentry in Hedong, and played an important role in the changes of social forces in that period.
