From these books we can know that the ancestors of people with the surname Ye were the Dukes of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the grandson of the King of Chuzhuang, Shei Yinxu, was killed in battle against the State of Wu. The King of Chuzhuang made his son Shezhu Liang Yuye (south of today's Ye County, Henan Province) a duke, and was called Ye Gong in history. Shortly thereafter, Duke Bai Sheng's rebellion broke out in the Chu State, and Shezhu Liang led his troops to put it down. As a result, his descendants inherited the title and ruled the place for countless years. Later, due to disputes between princes, Ye was destroyed, and the people of the country changed their surname to Ye.
There is also a family with the surname Ye from ethnic minorities in the south. There is a country called Ye Tiao in the south. Some people come to settle in the Central Plains and use Ye as their surname. During the Three Kingdoms period, Ye Xiong, the captain of the Wu Kingdom, was a descendant of Ye Tiaoguo's people.
After the fall of Fujian during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, in order to avoid being pursued by political enemies, some of the royal family members of the Fujian Kingdom changed their surname to Ye, which means fallen leaves returning to their roots. To this day, in some places on the southeast coast and overseas, Wang and Ye joint clan associations have been established to show that some people with the two surnames were once one family.
The surname Ye has a long history, and the pronunciation of the surname has also changed. In the early days, the word "叶" in the surname Ye was pronounced as "she", and later it was changed to the pronunciation of the word "叶" in the surname Ye.
