The surname "Song" comes from two sources.

1, the source is last name. In the late Shang Dynasty, Wu Ding, Shang Zhouwang, established his son Song Yu, and his fief was in the north of Zhao County, Hebei Province, which is now the Earl Hou Guo. Zhou Wuwang destroyed the Shang Dynasty, and also the Song State with the same surname as Wang Shang. In Zhou Chengwang, after Zhou Gongdan put down the rebellion of the Yin Emperor Wu Geng and the Three Supervisors, he took the son of Wei as the Duke of Song, sealed the land of the ancient Song kingdom and served the merchants.

Wei Ziqi, the eldest son of Di Yi and the younger brother of Shang Zhouwang, made great contributions to pacify the Wu Geng and Sanjian Rebellion in Yin Dynasty. After Ding, the son of Song Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, Song moved to Shangqiu, the hometown of Shang Tang. By the time we arrived in Song Xianggong, the State of Song had become the leader of the world's governors and one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period. When it was time to mourn the Duke of Song, the Kingdom of Song declined and moved eastward to Pengcheng, now Xuzhou, Jiangsu.

By 286 BC, the State of Qi destroyed the Song Dynasty, and the descendants took the State as their surname. Since Wuding sealed the Song Dynasty in Shang Dynasty, the history of the origin of the son of the Song surname has been at least 3,200 years, and the country has been widely used for nearly 2,300 years.
