Gu surname, China surname, is a multi-ethnic and multi-origin surname, which still belongs to a big surname in modern times.
During the Xia Dynasty, descendants of Kunwu were sealed in Guguo (now Fanxian County, Henan Province), and the nearby Bakungwu and Pengwei countries were the important pillars of the Xia Dynasty in the lower reaches of the Yellow River and the barrier of the East. In the late summer and early Shang Dynasty, Gu was destroyed by Shang Tang. After the national subjugation, Gu's descendants scattered all over the country, taking the name of the country as their surname. From then on, China began to have Gu's family.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Sun Yao, the descendant of Gou Jian, the King of Yue, was named Dongyi (now Yongjia, Zhejiang) for helping the princes to destroy Qin. Later, Yao also betrothed his son to Huiji, called Gu. Later, Gu's descendants took his fief "Gu" as their surname and formed another caring resident.
