The origin of surnames
The source of Xu's surname is relatively pure, mainly from the won surname. He is a descendant of Ruomu, the son of Boyi, the great grandson of the first emperor. According to legend, the trapped emperor had a granddaughter named Nvxiu. She had a great career because she ate swallow eggs. Daye married a young woman named Hua and gave birth to Boyi. Boyi actively assisted Dayu in water control. Apart from officially changing his surname to Won, Shundi married his own local woman Yao, and later gave birth to two sons, the youngest of whom was Ruomu. Because of his father's meritorious service, he was named Xu and established Xu Guo. After Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Xu existed as a vassal. Zhou Muwang's era spread to Xu Junyan, and he was the 32nd grandson of Xu Guo. He is very clever and friendly to the people, so he is deeply loved by the people and his national strength is getting stronger and stronger. At that time, Zhou Muwang liked to travel around the world and often didn't ask about state affairs. The governors complained a lot about him, so Xu Junyan had ambitions to replace Zhou Muwang. So he claimed to be Xu Yanwang and led the allied forces of various countries to March on Zhou. When Zhou Muwang learned the news, he immediately returned to Beijing and transferred troops to suppress it. Xu Yanwang had to retreat and escape. He hid in the mountains near Pengcheng. Because of his popularity, many people followed him to the mountains. This mountain was later called Xushan, hence the name Xuzhou. Therefore, he had to seal his son to live in Xu, called "Xu Zi", and continue to manage Xu. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Xu was defeated by Chu, and his national strength gradually declined. In the eighth year of Zhou Dynasty, Xu was destroyed by Wu, and Xu's descendants called Xu, taking the country as their surname, and passed it down from generation to generation.
2. Migration distribution
In ancient times, Ruomu was named Xu Guo, which is the earliest birthplace of Xu Shi in the north of Fengyang County, Anhui Province. When Xu died, Xu who lived here was already famous. Later, they moved to the north. Roughly after the Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties until the Sui and Tang Dynasties, many counties and counties were formed in Shandong and Henan in the north of China. And Gudong Sea, Gaoping, Dongwan and other places. The specific time of the relocation was: Qin had moved to Shandong before. There was a Japanese ancestor, Xu Fu, also called Xu Shi, who crossed the ocean to seek the elixir of life. There are many records on the calendar. "Historical Records of the First Qin Emperor" wrote: "The Xu family of Qi wrote that there are three sacred mountains in the sea, named Penglai, Abbot and Zhangzhou. Qi Jie was asked to take the children and men to inquire, so he sent people into the city. Although the story of Xu's visit to the elixir of life is different in different historical books, it provides a strong proof for Xu's migration to Shandong more than two thousand years ago. Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xu family had moved to today's Gansu Province. In other words, in the Han Dynasty, the Xu family had been transplanted to vast areas in the north. Xu moved south earlier than other surnames. According to the Xu Family Tree of Donghai Hall, during the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, Xu Zhi, the ancestor of the clan, moved to Nanchang, Jiangxi. The second ancestor moved to Longyou, Zhejiang; These three ancestors lived in many places in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Jiangsu and other provinces. Secondly, Xu's large-scale southward migration began in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and further developed in southern China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. At the end of the Song Dynasty, Xu moved from Shicheng, Jiangxi to Shanghang and Liancheng, Fujian. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Xu family mainly spread in Fengshun, Meixian and Haifeng in Guangdong. In short, the Xu family was mainly distributed in the lower reaches of the Yellow River in China during the Qin and Han Dynasties, especially in Shandong. From Wei and Jin Dynasties to Tang Dynasty, the Xu family mainly spread in the Huaihe River Basin and most of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Since the Song Dynasty, it has been distributed in the vast Jiangnan area. As for the large-scale reproduction of the Xu family in southwest China, it was after the Song Dynasty.
