1. There was a surname of Wu in ancient times. First, some descendants of Shun were sealed in Yu, because the sound of "Yu" was similar to that of "Wu", so there was a surname of Wu after Shun. First, when Zhuan Xu was emperor, there was Wu Quan, and then there was Wu. First, when Shao Kang was emperor, there was Wu He, an archer, followed by Wu.
2, from Ji, taking the country as the surname, and is a direct descendant of Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor. In Shang Dynasty, the 12th grandson of the Yellow Emperor, Zhou Taiwang, established the Zhou tribe. King Tai has three sons, among whom the youngest son, Ji Li, is quite talented. He gave birth to Ji Chang, and when Ji Chang was born, Sheng Rui appeared, so King Tai chose Ji Chang to take over. Tai Wang's eldest son, Taibo, and his second son, Zhong Yong, knew that his father meant to pass on the throne to Ji Li first, and then to Ji Chang, so they decided to give way automatically, and they went south together to Jing Man (as Zhou people called him hostile to Chu). Taibo and Zhongyong brought the advanced culture of the Central Plains to the backward south of the Yangtze River at that time, and were elected as the monarch by the local aborigines, known as the sentence Wu. After Taibo's death, Zhong Yong succeeded him. After Zhou Wuwang (Ji Chang was King of Wen and his son Ji Fa was King of Wu) destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the 3rd Sun Zhouzhang of Zhongyong became a vassal, and his title was renamed Wu, and Taibo was posthumously named Wu Bo. Sun Shoumeng, the 19th generation of Zhong Yong, was the king, and his capital is now Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province. Shou Meng's fourth son, Ji Zha, should have succeeded to the throne, but he avoided it and fled to Yanling to farm for a living. Since then, the descendants of Wu Wang Shoumeng have been divided into two branches: one developed politically, and famous monarchs such as He Lv and Fu Cha appeared; The other is that Ji Zha and his descendants developed independently, and the population was numerous, which constituted the vast majority of Wu's surname today. After the State of Wu was destroyed by the State of Yue, its descendants took the country as their surname and called it Wu.
