Tracing back to the source, only when there is a state of Huang can the surname of Huang be formed. Yuan He's usurpation in Tang Dynasty said: "After Huang and Lu Zhong, they were sealed by Huang, destroyed by Chu, and took the country as their surname." The Genealogy written by Song people says: "Huang, after Lu Zhong, was sealed in Huang. Today, there is an ancient city of Huang in Gwangju, 0/2 miles west of/kloc. Chu and the country, Xi Gong was destroyed by Chu for twelve years, and the descendants took the country as their surname. " The Preface to the Genealogy of the Huang Family in Jiangxia in the Northern Song Dynasty also said: "The examination of my Huang family began with Shennong, Huangdi and Lu Zhong, the great-grandson of Zhuan Xu. After the three brothers came second, the food city was in Huang, and the surname was given because of the land. The yellow land is in Gwangju Shili, and there is a yellow city. " There are similar records in monographs on surnames published in Beijing, Hunan and Shanxi, and Huang's genealogy published in Guangdong, Fujian and Henan. A large number of historical facts have proved that the surname Huang originated from Huang State and was rooted in Gwangju. In the long historical years, the Huang family experienced vicissitudes, ups and downs, and continued to grow and develop, gradually forming a noble family of Huang.
In 648 BC, after the destruction of the State of Huang by the State of Chu, the subjects of the State of Huang left their homes in succession, but wherever they went, they still took the country as their surname, and most of them scattered to the hinterland of the State of Chu at that time, so there were places named after the relocation of Huang, such as Huanggang, Huangpi, Huangshi and Huangmei. Some are "floating in the south of the Yangtze River and taking the seashore as their fixed place", thus forming many Huang families in the south and Huang surnames of Huang Dongman Zhuang people.
One hundred years after the destruction of Chu State, a great man named Huang appeared in the former site of Huang State. He is the famous spring Shen Jun Huang Xie. There is a saying in Dialectics of Ancient and Modern Surnames written by Deng Shiming in the Song Dynasty: "After the destruction of Huang, his family became an official Chu, and Chun succeeded him." The descendant of this adherent stayed in the former site of Huang Guo, devoted himself to being an official in Chu for 25 years, and made outstanding achievements. It became one of the four gentlemen in the Warring States and brought the first revival to the Huang family. In 238 BC, Huang Xie was killed in the court's infighting in the spring, and his descendants were forced to scatter all over the country, which led to the decline of the Huang family again. However, the Huang family did not sink because of this. They joined the yellow race scattered all over the country and made tenacious progress. They not only survived the crisis, but also formed aristocratic families in many places.
According to relevant historical data and surname records, Huang Xie's eldest son formed the later Huaiyang Huang and Jiangxia Huang; The second son, Huang Jun, founded the Huang family in the Central Plains. One of the five sons, Don Juan, formed the later Huang family in Soochow. After that, Jinhua and Shaowu Huang's aristocratic families were all branches of Jiangxia Huang's reproduction. Today, most members of the Huang family have moved south from the above areas. Throughout the process of Huang's migration, its development can be clearly seen, that is, from Huang's country-Huang Xie, to Huang's family in Huaiyang and Jiangxia, to Huang's family in Jinhua and Shaowu, and then to Huang's overseas. They are of the same ancestry.
Since the past dynasties, Huang talents have come forth in large numbers, each leading the way, which has played an important role in the spread of Central Plains culture to the south and a series of social changes. After Huang Xie, Ba Huang, the famous prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, was called the first prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty. Huang Xiang in the Eastern Han Dynasty is immortal with his model of filial piety. In the late Tang Dynasty, Huang Jiaozi carefully planned and pioneered, which brought the prosperity of Shaowu Huang. Huang Tingjian, a great calligrapher and poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, Huang Daopo, a female weaver in the Yuan Dynasty, Huang Xing, the second founding father of the Republic of China in modern times, and so on. Today, Huang's children are all over the world. Many of them are active in the international and domestic social arena, and they have made achievements in politics, overseas Chinese, commerce, culture, diplomacy and finance. Their cause has attracted worldwide attention, and their names are all over the world, which fully shows the prosperity and vitality of the Huang family.
