I want to know the origin of my surname. How should I find out? My surname is Wu.

Wu

First, the origin of surnames

Wu has two sources:

1, from Daxing, is the fourth son of Lu Zhong in the Spring and Autumn Period, named after the fief. According to the research of surnames, the surname Wu originated from fiefs. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the fourth son of Lu Zhong was granted the title of Wu (now Yanshi County, Henan Province), and his grandson named the fief Wu.

2. From the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Zhengqing's family minister Yang took Shiyi as his surname. According to "A Brief History of Tongzhi Clans", "After becoming a monk, Dr. Jin lived in Wu because he thought he was a surname." In the Spring and Autumn Period, after the Qi family minister Zang Hou, the doctor of the State of Jin lived in Wu (now Jiexiu City, Shanxi Province), and his son Sun took the city as his surname, forming Wu's family.

Ancestors of surnames: Sima Mimou and Wu Zang. According to the Record of Words and Actions of Noble Imperial Clans, "Wu Jun's satrap Sima Mimou thought he was a surname." The name of Sima Mimou also appeared in Zuo Zhuan, a great historical work written by Zuo Qiuming. In the twenty-eighth year of Zhao, the book refers to Dr. Sima Weiwu. It can be seen that this ancestor surnamed Wu was once a very prominent figure in the state of Jin. Genealogy of Tongzhi said: "Doctor Jin lived in Wu after he hid in Wu, because he thought he was his surname." This Wu Zang is also an important official of the State of Jin, so he is entitled to own a food city. Judging from these two records, the surname Wu originated from the same place, but their ancestors had two names, and the time difference between them was hundreds of years. Who came from Sima Yi and who came from Wu Zang? Although the truth can't be verified, it can't be traced back to the source. However, no matter which one is his real ancestor, Wu is still very qualified to be proud of his surname, because both Wu people are very qualified. Zuo Zhuan also mentioned that "Wang seized the fields of Wu, Liu, Guo and Zhi from Zheng". According to textual research, this Wudi belongs to the State of Zheng, and has nothing to do with the Wu surname of later generations, because this Wudi refers to a place in the southwest of Yanshi County, Henan Province, which is far away from Wuyi, Shanxi Province. The descendants of Wu regarded Sima and Wu Zang as ancestors of Wu.

Second, migration distribution.

(Missing) Wu is not among the top 100 surnames in Taiwan Province Province 100. According to the Record of Words and Actions of Noble Imperial Clans, "Wu Jun's satrap Sima Mimou thought he was a surname." The name of Sima Mimou also appeared in Zuo Zhuan, a great historical work written by Zuo Qiuming. In the twenty-eighth year of Zhao, the book refers to Dr. Sima Weiwu. It can be seen that this ancestor surnamed Wu was once a very prominent figure in the state of Jin. Genealogy of Tongzhi said: "Doctor Jin lived in Wu after he hid in Wu, because he thought he was his surname." This Wu Zang is also an important official of the State of Jin, so he is entitled to own a food city. Judging from these two records, the surname Wu originated from the same place, but their ancestors had two names, and the time difference between them was hundreds of years. Who came from Sima Yi and who came from Wu Zang? Although the truth can't be verified, it can't be traced back to the source. However, no matter which one is his real ancestor, Wu is still very qualified to be proud of his surname, because both Wu people are very qualified. Zuo Zhuan also mentioned that "Wang seized the fields of Wu, Liu, Guo and Zhi from Zheng". According to textual research, this Wudi belongs to the State of Zheng, and has nothing to do with the Wu surname of later generations, because this Wudi refers to a place in the southwest of Yanshi County, Henan Province, which is far away from Wuyi, Shanxi Province. The above is the source of Wu surname with definite evidence to follow. In addition, according to the research of surnames, the origin of Wu Can can be traced back to Lu Zhong, the grandson of Di Ku. This book about surnames is recorded as follows: "According to Guoyu, Lu Zhong's fourth son is a surname. Don't seal his name and look out at Nanchang, Fuzhou and Chongren." It turns out that Di Ku's son is Zhu Rong's, Lu Zhong is Zhu Rong's son, and Lu Zhong is an important figure in the origin of the Chinese nation. He has given birth to six sons, namely Kunwu, Cenhu, Peng Zu, Lai Yan, An,. He has a wide range of descendants and is one of the ancestors of China's surname. For example, Su, Gu, Wen and Dong are all descendants of the boss Kun Wu. Qian, Tian, Peng and other surnames come from the third Peng Zu; Cao Shi was handed down from the fifth grade; In the Spring and Autumn Period, the surname of Chu originated from the Old Six Seasons. The surname Wu, if it is really a descendant of the fourth child, is obviously a family member of the same strain as the above surname. According to "Examination of Surnames", the Wu family was mainly bred in Nanchang, Fuzhou and Chongren. Nanchang, now the capital of Jiangxi, that is, Nanchang, Fuzhou and Chongren, are also within the territory of Jiangxi Province. It can be seen that Wu originated in Shanxi in the Spring and Autumn Period, and by the Han Dynasty, it had spread to all parts of Jiangnan, Jiangxi, and flourished here. There are few celebrities named Wu in history. Wu Tong, Wu Daxin and Wu Shuanfang were only listed in the Business Travel Record made during Guangxu period of the former Qing Dynasty. Wu Tong is a famous calligrapher in modern times. It is said that among his wonderful calligraphy, cursive script is the most wonderful, and it is known as the "crow in the cold forest", which is unparalleled. In ancient times, when the Yellow Emperor lived, there was a royal family named Qiu Yan, who was named the leader of Wuyi. Later generations took this place name as their surname and formed the Wu family. Qiu Yan's father's name is Lu Zhong. Lv Zhong's great-grandfather was named Zhuan Xu, and Zhuan Xu's grandfather was the Yellow Emperor. So Wu is a direct descendant of the Yellow Emperor. There is also a surname Wu, which was transformed from Sima. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a place called Wuxian in the State of Jin, and the court of Jin sent a nobleman named Sima Mimou to govern Wuxian. Later, among the descendants of Sima, there were still people surnamed Sima, and there were also people who took place names as their surnames, and the generations were surnamed Wu. In ancient times, people used to call each other by local masterpieces. For example, Wudi people are called Uncle He Wu, and place names can easily evolve into surnames. Similarly, Japanese surnames such as Noboru takeshita and Tanaka are mostly place names. Wu's ancestors also included students such as "Wu Dan" Confucius. Wu Tong, a great calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, wrote cursive very well, and he was even better after drinking.

My humble words: "If you get something in return for doing useless work, you will be afraid to increase your guilt.". I beg for forgiveness, so that I can wash away my worries and repay the service. " The emperor was furious, saying that he cursed rudeness, cut his post and returned to his hometown, when the king was dead. At the end of Christmas in the thirty-fifth year, I said, "I have been a member of the Royal Guards since the fifth ancestor and have been living in the north. Today, I am worried about moving south. I can't be too selfish and not love the Lord. Help congratulate, retire, and save the princess's grave privately. The hill is closed and the thorns are not cut. I care about myself. The fox still died on the first mountain. I entrust the monarch to hang the souls of the dead thousands of miles away, and no sacrifices are allowed in the Spring and Autumn Period. I feel sad and regret, and I will split in five days. I am so guilty that I dare not pray for grace, but your majesty is fortunate to mourn for his dead master, so that his family can go to the original Wei, grow up together, and die without complaint. " The emperor took pity and agreed. Two years later, Qin Long returned to power. If you die, I will give you less insurance, and you will be honored.
