Nowadays, even if the legend about Ge is regarded as a "rumor", Ge's surname, like all other surnames in China, has a definite surname source-A Brief History of Tongzhi Imperial Clans records that "Xia Wang had it, and later generations took the country as their surname."
There are many records about Gerber in Chinese ancient books. For example, Zhong You's Letter in the Book of Songs once said, "Gerber is paid". Mencius on Teng Wengong also mentioned: "Tang Juhao, neighbor", and its note said: "Ge, Xia vassal got his surname country." It can be seen that "Ge" is indeed a warlord who once dominated one side more than 3,000 years ago. It was founded by the descendants of Zhuan Xu who won the surname. They are "neighbors" with Shang Tang, and Shang Tang later destroyed Xia Jie and won the world, owning a place in the northeast of Caiqiu County, Henan Province. Later, their descendants also took the country as their surname, and they all took Ge as their surname, which has been reproduced until today.
From this point of view, Koch is quite early, at least six or seven hundred years earlier than the descendants of Ji, who later became the main surname of all families in China. Therefore, although the statement that Ge originated in ancient times is not reliable, there is no doubt about Ge's "seniority" among China group surnames.
The origin of Ge surname in the south of China is different from that in the north. According to the surname research, it comes from the Hong family in the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Regarding the origin of the surname Ge in the south of the Yangtze River, it is recorded in the "Textual Research on Surnames" in detail: "Han Hong ● Zuzi Pulu, who was once a land, made contributions to Qiu Zuoguang, Wu, Feng Pixian Hou, Lu Rangfeng, Nandujiang, was born in Jurong, was born in Wuzhong, and looked at Liang State."
It can be seen that people with Ge surname in the south of the Yangtze River were distributed by Hong surname in the early Eastern Han Dynasty more than 1900 years ago. Hong is a descendant of Gong, who served as a water official after Fuxi in ancient times, so there should be no very close relationship with Ge in the north, which was handed down by the Xia warlord Borg.
In China, there are quite a few famous people named Ge, and among them, it seems that a series of "immortal figures" below Ge Xuan, the "Tai Chi immortal", are the most well-known through the ages.
In addition to the above-mentioned immortals, in the history of our country, Ge also produced many outstanding figures, especially in the Song Dynasty. Ge Bi, Ge Shusi and Ge Zhongsheng performed well in all aspects.

Ge was a famous writer from Zhejiang during Daoguang period in Qing Dynasty. At that time, at the beginning of the Opium War, when the British captured Dinghai for the second time, Ge showed a fearless spirit of resisting foreign aggression. It is said that there were 29 ships and more than 20 thousand British soldiers in Britain at that time, while Ge Yunfei's men were only more than 200, but their morale was like a rainbow. They used broadswords to deal with their guns and cannons. As a result, they fought to the death, but their fearless spirit was immortal.
