There are four origins of surnames in (Yú):
1. From Ji, a descendant of Ji Fa, Zhou Wuwang, taking the country name as his surname. According to the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, the Prime Minister's Lineage Table, after Zhou Wuwang negotiated with the Shang Dynasty, he made a great effort to enfeoffment the governors, and his second son, Zhi Shu, was sealed in Zhi State. According to "Guang Yun", in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wuwang named his second son (said the third son) in Zhi (the old city is in Zhi Town, northwest of Qinyang, Henan Province), which was called Zhi Shu. Later, the descendants of Uncle Yu Zhi took the country name as their surname, and some took the surname Zhi; Some people go to the city to take the surname Yu, which is for Henan Yu, and the history says that the surname Yu is authentic.
2. Since ancient times, the surname of Chunyu was changed to Yushi by Li Chun, a taboo xian zong, in the Tang Dynasty. According to Dialectics of Surnames in Ancient and Modern Times, Chunyu's son Sun took the country name as his surname and was called Chunyu's. During the reign of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty, there were seven surnames of the royal family, including Chunyu. To Tang Xianzong Li Chunshi, in order to avoid taboo ("pure" and "chun" homonym), the compound surname Chunyu was changed to the single surname Yu. In the Song Dynasty, some Yu surnames were restored to Chunyu surnames, while others remained unchanged, forming this branch of Yu surnames.
3. Wan Cheng, who came from the Northern Wei Dynasty, was restored to his original name when Emperor Xiaowen reformed his Chinese culture. According to the History of the Road, Wanwan Yu of Xianbei nationality was originally a Shandong Yu surname, and later it was changed by Xianbei, and Emperor Xiaowen's sinicization reform was resumed. Although this branch of Yu's family was changed from Wanxi's family of Xianbei nationality, it has always been regarded as a foreign surname, but in fact, they are still descendants of Yu's family name of Han nationality. Only in the Han Dynasty, a descendant named Yu Gong left the Central Plains with Tuoba's family, and changed his surname to Wanxi's family name in order to survive in Xianbei nationality. Later, Tuoba's family name of Xianbei nationality was established in northern China. Most of the people surnamed Yu who live in the north belong to this branch.
4. From giving the surname or changing it to the surname of ethnic minorities:
① In the Ming Dynasty, the surname of Bayandali was given to Mingzhong, and in the Qing Dynasty, some Nimaha in the south was changed to the surname.
② Some ethnic minorities such as Daur, Oroqen, Tu, Hui and Koryo have changed their surnames.

He gave Yu Shu the kingdom of Zhi, and at first Yu Shu was Yu Zhi Shu, so he got his name from the fief. Later, the descendants of Yu Zhi took the country as their surname, and some took the surname Yu Zhi. Later, they simply removed the surname Yu next to the city and called it Yu surname.

Migration and distribution

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Yu's family began to slowly spread around with Henan as the center, moving to Shanxi, Hebei, Anhui and Shandong in the north, and Shaanxi and Gansu in the west. In this period, Yu's family mainly took the Central Plains in northern China as the center of propagation and spread, and formed three counties, namely Henan, Donghai and Hanoi. As a result, Yu's family who moved to Shandong in the east began to flourish. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the long-term disputes between warlords resulted in the tragic situation that "white bones were exposed in the wild, and there were no crows in thousands of miles". People surnamed Yu followed the fleeing army and moved to the vast areas in the southeast on a large scale, which promoted the exchanges and integration between ethnic groups, while the war made the Central Plains a battleground for military strategists. In order to avoid the war, Yu, who was in the south of Henan, went south to Hubei recently and then moved to Sichuan and Hunan. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, due to the reunification of the country, the war was reduced, and because of the deep-rooted homesickness of the Chinese people, Yu's migration was equal to nothing, but it flourished, and Yu's family successively formed several big families in the north. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Jin Bing captured the Bianliang in Tokyo (now Kaifeng, Henan Province), and took away Hui and Qin, and some people with the surname Yu went to Heilongjiang. In the late Southern Song Dynasty, Yu began to enter Fujian from Zhejiang and Guangdong from Fujian. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the peasant uprising army rose everywhere, the society was in turmoil, and the population in the south of the Yangtze River dropped sharply. Due to the special superior position of Shanxi, it was not affected much. After the establishment of the Zhu Ming Dynasty, Shanxi Yu was also one of the surnames of the people who moved to Hongtong in the Ming Dynasty, and they moved to Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Shaanxi, Jiangsu and other places. Previously, Henan Yu moved to Shuntianfu (now Beijing) (according to Yu's Genealogy). In the Qing Dynasty, Henan and Hebei, especially Shandong, had many surnames, and made a living and settled in Guandong. At this point, people surnamed Yu have spread all over the world. Today, the surname Yu is mostly distributed in Shandong province, accounting for about 25% of the total population of Han nationality in China, followed by Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Jilin, Hunan and Shaanxi provinces, which account for about 67% of the total population of Han nationality in China.
