The source of southeast and northwest

"Southeast, northwest, native name is Zhang" Dong: Dong Shi has five sources. One legend belongs to one of Shun's seven friends-Hou; One legend is that Dong Meng, the descendant of Fuxi, came later. In addition, Koguryo's surname is Dong, and his descendants still have Dong after they moved to the Central Plains. There are also some Dong surnames changed from the Shi Dong family of the Tu nationality. The aborigines, Manchu, Mongolian and other ethnic groups in Taiwan Province Province also have Dong's surname. At present, Dong's surname is widely distributed in China, including Haimen in Jiangsu, Jinghai in Tianjin, Heilongjiang, Hebei, Liaoning, Gansu and Qinghai, but the number is small. Xi: There are three sources of western surnames. The first one is country-based. According to legend, there was a western country in ancient times, and some people said it was an ancient country of Xiling. Later, people took Xi as their surname. The second theory is that there was a county magistrate named Ximen Bao in Ye County during the Warring States and Wei State, and his descendants changed the compound surname "Ximen" to "Xi". The third type was changed from Manchu surname. The Siktley surname in Manchu Eight Banners in Qing Dynasty was later changed to Xishi surname. As for the origin of western surnames, there is also a story circulating in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan border region: Zhang Xiaokang, the filial son of the Ming Dynasty, was witty and clever, and once assisted Emperor Xiaowu in politics. But his two brothers, Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling, opposed the royal family and ran roughshod over the village. After the death of Queen Zhang, the reigning Ming Shizong cut off all his family, and some of his descendants scattered and fled. In order to facilitate mutual recognition in the future, Zhang's surname is divided into four surnames in the southeast and northwest, so it is also called "Zhang in the southeast and northwest". At present, the western surnames are distributed in Guangrao, Zouping, Weifang, Anhui and other places in Shandong, but the number is small. Nan: The origin of the surname Nan is very complicated. According to historical records, some descendants of the family took their surnames south. The second source is that Pan Geng's concubine Kang gave birth to a son named Nan Chilong. His great-grandson Nan Zhong is a doctor, and his descendants take Nan as their surname. The third view holds that Ying, the son of the Spring and Autumn Period, had the word Nan, and his descendants took the surname Nan. The fourth source, that is to say, during the Spring and Autumn Period, a noble person in the State of Jin lived in Nanxiang, and his descendants changed their surname to Nan. Nan surname is widely distributed in China, especially in Henan, accounting for about 75% of the Han population in China. North: There are three sources of northern surnames. One is to take the place name as the surname. According to records, there was a place called the North in ancient times. It is said that the Yellow Emperor moved some people of Chiyou tribe here, and later people took "North" as their surname; It is also recorded that the north is also a surname of Koguryo, and there are not only northern surnames but also oriental surnames in Koguryo's surnames. Inferred from this, the surname should be the location. There are also some northern surnames that have evolved from compound surnames such as Beimen, Gong Bei, Beiguo, Beiren and Beiye. At present, Quyang in Hebei, Fenyang in Shanxi, Dechang in Sichuan and Baotou in Inner Mongolia all have northern surnames.
