How did the surname Song come from?

The Song family originated from the son's surname. After Zhou Wuwang destroyed the business, Wu Geng, the son of Zhou Wang, was sealed in Yin Ruins. After Zhou Wuwang's death, Wu Geng revolted, but it was quickly quelled by the Duke of Zhou and Wu Geng was defeated. Later, Duke Zhou gave the land around Shangqiu, the old capital of Shang Dynasty, to his younger brother Wei, and let him manage the inheritance of Shang Dynasty. From then on, there was the Song State, and Song Guojun's descendants took the country name as the Song State.
