Origin of the surname:

Comes from the surname Ji, after King Wen of Zhou. Later, it evolved into three clan sects with the royal surname. One is the descendants of Bi Gonggao, the 15th son of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty. Because they were originally from the royal family, they took Wang as their surname. The second is Ji Jin, the crown prince of Lingwang in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He was deposed as a commoner because of his direct remonstrance. The world called him "the Wang family", and he took Wang as his surname from now on. The third is that the king of Xinling in the Wei Kingdom was Wuji. After Wei was destroyed, his descendants were called the "Wang family" and took the surname Wang.
