Yue family is a minority in northwest China, which had great influence in the Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Period, Qin and Han Dynasties. "Ci Yuan" said: "The name of Yue family is an ancient country. His family originally lived in the western border of Gansu Province. It was destroyed by Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty. It went west to the Amu Darya and surrendered to Daxia. They are all in the north of Amu Darya, so they are called Yuejia; If he can't go, he will stay in his hometown, which is called abortion. "

Extended data
In ancient Chinese, the words "moon" and "meat" used to be similar, especially in seal script, which is very close to the word "moon" and it is almost difficult to find the difference. There are many Chinese characters in the "meat" part of Shuo Wen Jie Zi. Muscle, liver, spleen, stomach, intestine and other words related to the human body are written next to "moon", but they are actually next to "meat".
There are only 10 words that really belong to the "moon", such as new moon, lang, qi and other words related to the moon's ups and downs. If the ancients wrote "Yue Shi", it is also possible that later generations mistook "Yue" which was originally "meat" for "Yue", and the dispute about the pronunciation of Dayue is mainly the source.
