There are three sources of Xiong surname: 1, which comes from the descendants of the Yellow Emperor. According to Shiben, Dialectics of Ancient and Modern Surnames Books and Compilation of Yuanhe Surnames, Sun Youlian, the seventh son of the Yellow Emperor, was Zhou, and his son Sun Chixiong was his teacher. Great-grandson Xiong Yi took Wang Fu as his surname. 2. After the Yellow Emperor had the Xiong family. According to Yuan He's compilation, it is said that the Yellow Emperor was born in Shouqiu, grew up in Jishui and lived in Xuanyuan Hill. Its capital is Xiong (now Xinzheng, Henan), also known as Xiong's family, and later those who take the land as their family are called Xiong's family. He came from another family and changed his surname. Miao bear surname, Han bear surname; Pumi nationality is a tooth family, and Han nationality's surname is bear; When the Yi people took the bear as the original totem for five years, the Han surname was bear; In Sichuan and Gansu, the Chinese surnames of Baima people, such as Donna's, Reya's and Dumb Goo's, are all bears. Today, Buyi, Yi, Manchu, Mongolian, Yao, Achang, Zhuang, Tujia and other ethnic groups all have this surname.
It is called the raccoon ancestor. At the end of Shang dynasty, there were many talents. He used to be a teacher in Zhou Wenwang and was appointed as the protector of the country. Its ancestor was the Yellow Emperor, and his son Changyi was born in Zhuan Xu. The sixth son of Zhuan Xu IV, Sun Luzhong, was named Ji Lian, and Xiong Ji was a descendant of Ji Lian. Xiong Yi, the great-grandson of Kuaixiong, took the word Wang Fu as his surname and called it Xiongshi. In the west, Xiong Yi was appointed as Jingchu, established Chu and made its capital Danyang (now southeast of Zigui, Hubei). During the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu was once powerful, and its influence extended to the Central Plains, becoming one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period. In 223 BC, Chu was destroyed by Qin, and later generations mostly took the bear as their surname, and respected the bear as their ancestor.
Xiong's surname originated from the ancient Chu State, namely Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi and other provinces. Naturally, this area has also become the main area where Xiong's surname first multiplied. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the Xiong family still took the above places as the center of reproduction and development, but a few of them were scattered in Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other places. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Xiong's family had migrated to vast areas in the south. After a long period of reproduction and development, it gradually flourished in Jiangling, Hubei and Nanchang, Jiangxi, and some people went to the DPRK to be officials. Therefore, Xiong was named "Nanchang" and "Jiangling". During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the descendants of Xiong moved to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the surnames of Nanchang and Jiangling remained immortal, with talented people and numerous nationalities. According to the Records of Taiping Universe in the Northern Song Dynasty, among the four surnames of Yuezhou (now Yueyang City, Hunan Province), Xiong is the first of the five surnames (now Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province). It can be seen that in the Song Dynasty, Xiong was still widely distributed in Nanchang, Jiangxi and Yueyang, Hunan. In the early Song Dynasty, the Xiong family, who moved to Jian 'an (now Jian 'ou County) and other places in Fujian, gradually became a famous family, and later many famous families came out. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan sent troops to pacify the Southern Song Dynasty, and patriotic general Wen Tianxiang fought to the death, but the building was going to collapse, which was beyond the reach of a single tree. So the royal family of the Song Dynasty fled from Hangzhou to Fujian, and then retreated from Fujian to the isolated island of Guangdong-Cliff Mountain. Wherever Yuan soldiers went, they burned and looted, and the people fled when they heard the news. So some bears in Jiangsu and Zhejiang moved to Fujian, and then entered Guangdong from Fujian to escape the gunfire of war and chaos. During the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, Xiong, as one of the surnames of the aborigines of Sophora japonica in Hongdong, Shanxi in the Ming Dynasty, moved to Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shaanxi and other provinces. After the Ming Dynasty, the descendants of Xiong migrated to Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, Hainan and other places, and some of them were integrated into Miao, Shui, Buyi, Tujia, Achang and other ethnic minorities. By the Qing Dynasty, Xiong's family had been scattered all over the country, and some bears from Fujian and Guangdong crossed the sea to Taiwan Province and moved overseas to live in Singapore and other countries. Today, bears are mostly distributed in Hubei, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Hunan and other provinces, and the population of bears in these four provinces accounts for about 66% of the Han population in China.
