The origin and evolution of Fu surname religion;
The origin of Fu surname mainly has two branches: Gui surname and Raccoon surname.
The first one comes from the Gui family. The Shun tribe lives in the Guishui area in the south of Zhoupu Town, Yongji, Shanxi. The Shun tribe is named after the Guishui River. The descendants of Shun were granted the title of Fu, and they were located east of Pinglu in Shanxi after entering the Xia Dynasty in ancient times. The land was granted to the descendants of Yao. In ancient times, it was granted to Fuyang, which is now south of Zaozhuang, Shandong. Later, Guo was named the surname. The descendants of Fu surnamed Gui did not leave any information, and later disappeared among Fu surnamed Raccoon Dog. But the Fu surname Gui is the earliest Fu surname in China, with a history of at least 4,000 years.
The second item of expenditure comes from the surname Li. After Emperor Yao, his surname should be Qi. Emperor Yao's son Zhu Dan was sealed in the Danshui River Basin, which is now the Xishui area of ??Henan Province. It was named Danzhu in ancient times. Danzhu succeeded to the throne of Shunyao and was granted the title of Fang Yihou, so he was called Fanghou. The ancient city is now Fangxian County, Hubei Province, and is not named after raccoon dogs. After Raccoon entered the Xia Dynasty, his descendants were born in ancient Fudi, which is now Pingludong, Shaanxi Province. Their descendants took the city as their surname. Fu lived in the Shun, Xia and Shang dynasties for thousands of years. Although it has been around for a long time, it is worth noting. In the late Shang Dynasty and during the Wuding period of the Shang Dynasty, Fu Yue was named General Fu and was given the title by Wuding, and the country was governed by the imperial court. Wu Ding was also hailed by later generations as the "Pearl of the Renaissance" of the Shang Dynasty. Since then, the surname Fu spread in southern Shanxi and northern Henan, and eventually developed into one of the most famous surnames in contemporary China. The surname Fu has a history of at least 3,500 years. This branch is the main bloodline of experts today.

After that, the incident of foreigners joining the Han people with the surname Fu almost never happened again until the Manchu Eight Banners clans in the Qing Dynasty collectively changed their surname to Fu, once again proving the inflow of foreign genes.
