Xu You was born in 2 155 BC and died in an unknown year. During the period of Yao and Shun, Emperor Yao respected his virtue and intended to cede the throne to him, but he refused to accept it. He lived in seclusion in Mount Ji and tilled the fields for food. Later, Emperor Yao made him the chief of Kyushu. He went to Shui Ying to wash his ears and said he didn't want to hear it. After his death, he was buried at the top of Mount Ji, and Emperor Yao named him "the God of Mount Ji, catering to the five mountains and being worshipped by later generations", so he was later called a man. 4/kloc-More than 0/00 years ago, Xu You lived at the foot of Jishan Mountain in the Shui Ying Valley, which was then the land of Guo Xu. So many people later took Xu Shi as their ancestor.
Another way of saying that the Xu family comes from Jiang and takes the country as its surname. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the ancestor of Xu, the vassal state of Jiang, was Uncle Wen, that is, Uncle Xu. Both Wen Shu and Wen Shu are the ancestors of Xu, but they are more than 1 100 years earlier than Wen Shu, so they are considered to be the ancestors of Xu, and Wen Shu is the founding ancestor of Xu.
First, after Jiang surname.
Xu, originally refers to the ancient land, later refers to the ancient, and then refers to the western Guo and the eastern Guo. Point to the land, point to the country, not to the person, but to the surname. Because the residents and citizens at this time were surnamed Jiang, the kin originated from Shennong, the ancestor of Jiang; It originated in Jiang Shui, made in the promised land and sealed in the promised country. Many books in history have acknowledged this view, and they are also consistent, including Yuan He's Compilation in Tang Dynasty and New Tang Book? Prime Minister Pedigree Table and Southern Song Dynasty Tongzhi? Brief introduction of clan, etc. As for the works before the Tang and Song Dynasties, such as Hanshu, Historical Records, Zuo Zhuan and Lv Chunqiu, there are hundreds of theories, most of which are similar: Xu Zhiyi, a man named Jiang Xu Di, is very clear.
Second, take land as the surname.
Before Xu's subjugation, some people took their surnames because of the place, but it was not common, it was spontaneous, and few people knew it. As a phenomenon, this practice of taking the place as the surname has its rationality and possibility. It is also the bud and precedent of the development process of surname integration. For example, before Xu was destroyed, Jin had its disadvantages, and Chu had Xu Bo's weight. Later, in Zuo Zhuan, there was a man named Xu Wei who appeared in the thirteenth year of Gong, that is, in 529 BC. These Xu characters are all surnamed Xu at this time, and they are by no means Xu named by Zuo Qiuming, the author of Zuo Zhuan, who later deduced from his predecessors.
Third, take the surname as the surname
For the Xu Shi family, people who used to be surnamed Shi can find Jiang You. However, Xu You's name is Rulu, and Xu You's surname was given to him by later generations. At that time, he was sealed in Xu for promising land, and he was the first monarch of Xu in ancient times. Although Yao gave himself the surname Xu, his surname was not used at that time. It was later generations who took his surname as their own, so the name Xu You appeared in the history books. It is a foregone conclusion that the matter of taking surname as surname developed to the Western Han Dynasty. There are countless examples of Sima Qian taking his surname as his surname. It should be said that even so, there are still a few things with surnames that are not popular. For example, as the king of a country, a Boyi who takes Lu as his surname, but no one takes Boyi as his surname, can be regarded as an example. So there are not many things that recognize surnames as surnames.
Fourth, take the country as the surname.
After the national subjugation, the Xu family moved from place to place, and it was very common to take the country as the surname, which gradually formed the Xu surname pattern in China today.
Fifth, talk about the text and interpret the text: Xu, listen, and cut in from the pronunciation in the afternoon. -"Shuo Wen Jie Zi"
An ordinary and great family once had enough power to change the course of history. -"Where to Find the Millennium Home Country"
Xu, a native, was named after observing the shadow of the sun at high noon with an astronomical gravimeter. "Speech" is a simplification of "noon". -"Xu"
The promise is made by the words "speech" and "noon". Speakers can be divided into speakers and speakers. Words are secrets; Empty words. Speak in the afternoon, just speak; So are people who tell the truth. Therefore, being the children of the Xu family should be based on "telling the truth", "telling the truth", "true temperament" and "being outspoken".
Sixth, trace back to the source:
1, from the surname Jiang, takes the country as the surname, and is a descendant of Shennong. Xu is the ancestor of the Qi family, second only to the four Gu Shan Boyi. "April" is four phratries developed from the surname Jiang. They formed an alliance with the tribe named Ji and developed in parallel with the Shang clan named Zi. The allied forces composed of Ji and Jiang tribes were defeated and established the country of Ji & Western Zhou Dynasty. In Zhou Chengwang, vassals were enfeoffed on a large scale, and some vassal states with the surname of Ji and Jiang were also enfeoffed in the Shang Dynasty. Guo Xu was one of the vassal states of the Jiang surname enfeoffed by the Zhou Dynasty, and its ancestor was Xu. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Xu was called a vassal state of Chu, and was destroyed by Chu at the beginning of the Warring States Period. After Xu's subjugation, later generations took the country as their surname, calling it Xu's surname, and history said that Xu's surname was authentic.
2. According to legend, the descendants of Emperor Yao also called Xu. According to legend, Xu You was a noble scholar and saint in the Yao and Shun era, who lived in Jishan. After his death, he was buried in Mount Ji, and later generations praised him as a man. At the foot of the Shuipen Jishan Mountain more than 4,000 years ago, it was Xu's land.
Seven, migration distribution:
Xu Shi's birthplace is now Xu Changdong, Henan. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, under the pressure of Zheng, Chu and other countries, Xu moved his capital to Henan and northern Anhui many times. After the Xu family was destroyed by Chu, except for some who moved to Jingshan, Hubei and Zhijiang, Hunan, most of the Xu family propagated locally or moved northward. Xu first moved north to Levin, Jizhou (now Levin, Hebei), and later Xu moved back to Baofeng, Henan. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the Xu family had spread all over most areas of Henan and Hebei provinces. Since then, the northern Xu surname is mainly distributed in today's Henan, Hebei, Anhui, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other vast areas. Xu Nanqian began in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, He was ordered to enter Fujian, accompanied by a Henan Xu Shi, and settled in Fujian. In Tang Xizong, Xu Ai, an imperial envoy, guarded Zhangzhou for Zhao 'an, and later entered Jinjiang Stone Tortoise. After the Tang Dynasty, Xu moved south on a large scale and propagated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hubei, Fujian, Guangdong and other provinces. At the end of Song Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, the Xu family moved to Guangdong. Xu Shi, traveling in Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other places, is integrated with Dong, Zhuang, Buyi and Tujia ethnic minorities.
The Xu family is listed as one of the 11th largest families. During Yongle period of Ming Dynasty, Fujian people Xu Chonghuai and Xu Shen first moved to Taiwan Province Province, and then Xu Shi moved to Taiwan Province Province several times. During the reign of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, people from Quanzhou, Xu Yuanguang and Xu Taiyue, entered Mailiao Township in KenYunlin County and Shedekeng Township in Taipei County respectively. From the late Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, more and more people surnamed Xu entered Taiwan Province. From Tainan to Changhua, Taipei, Penghu and Chiayi. Later, some people immigrated from Taiwan Province.
