Joe's surname comes from two sources:
1, from the ancient Youchao family. In ancient Central Plains, there were dense forests and many wild animals, which often harassed human beings. Later, someone invented building wooden houses on trees, so that people would not have to worry about wild animals when they slept. So everyone regarded this man as a saint, promoted him as a tribal leader, and called him "one day clan", and his descendants were Nest's surname. When Yao was emperor, there was a hermit named Wang, who was good friends with celebrities at that time. Yao once wanted to give up the throne, but refused. Yao wanted to give up the throne, but refused, hiding at the foot of a dustpan to farm. Yao asked him to be the head of Kyushu. He ran to wash his ears and said that he didn't want to hear such words. At this moment, Chao Fu happened to lead the cow across the river. He asked Xu You why he washed his ears. Xu You said, "Yao invited me to be the Lord of Kyushu. This kind of talk has stained my ears and I have to wash them. " Chao Fu said with a smile, "If you live in a ravine and don't associate with the world, who will bother you?" ? Now you pretend to be lofty, in fact, in order to seek fame, I am afraid that the water you wash your ears will dirty my cow's mouth! "Then he took the cow to the upstream to drink water. During the Dayu period, the descendants of the Youchao family established the Youchao State (now Chaoxian County, Anhui Province), and after Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, they were borrowed as princes from generation to generation. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Chu destroyed Zhao, and the descendants of Zhao were named after the original country, which was called Chao's.
2. Take the place name as the surname. After being defeated by Shang Tang, Xia Jie fled to Nanchao (southwest of Chaoxian County, Anhui Province) and later died there. Some of his descendants lived in Nanchao, so they were named after the place name, called Chaoshi.
Ancestor: Chao Fu. Chao's family originated in Chaohu Lake, and it is a surname with land as its surname. Chaohu Lake, located in Anhui Province, has been one of the great rivers in China since ancient times. According to historical records, Chaohu Lake was the seat of the Bird's Nest Country in the Yin and Zhou Dynasties three or four thousand years ago. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Yan was destroyed by the State of Wu. According to the custom at that time, the descendants of the State of Yan took the name of the old country as their surname. There is another saying about the origin of the Chao family. In the past, some surname scholars traced the origin of the Chao family back to the ancient Youchao family. The Youchao family taught people to build nests and plant trees, which contributed to the evolution of the nation, which was recorded in ancient books such as Han Feizi Wu Zhu. According to the Book of Surnames, the surname Wo is a descendant of a family with a nest, or a descendant of a country with a nest. In Yao, there is, in summer, there is a national nest. According to "Textual Research on Surnames", the Chao family took the country as its surname, and it was a famous Pengcheng. The ancestor of the nest surname took the tree as the nest and slept on it, Chao Fu, posthumous title, and the descendants took the nest as their surname. Therefore, the descendants of Chao will be listed as the ancestors of Chao.

Because it is built on a tree, similar to an eagle nesting, its founder is called Youchao. When Dayu became king, he made Chao's descendants nobles and asked them to establish a nest country, which was located in Chao County, Anhui Province.
