In addition to surnames, there is another saying in the world that Yuan was named as Yuan Hou and Hou Yuan. The garden is located in Shi Chun, the ancient city of Wanglong Township, Xinzheng, Henan Province, and its surname should have originated in Henan. After nearly a thousand years of Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Yuan gradually moved to a foreign land, and then formed large settlements in Zhuozhou, Hebei, Jingmen, Hubei and Shuozhou, Shanxi. During the Han and Wei Dynasties, it flourished as Fanyang County, Yongning County and Mayi County. It is said that the Yuan family, which was widely circulated in later generations, was derived from these three counties. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the north continued to be turbulent, and Yuan moved to the south of the Yangtze River for reasons such as being an official, making a living, fleeing and avoiding new living environment. By the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Yuan had been distributed in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan and other southern provinces. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Yuan surnames were distributed not only in northern provinces, but also in southern provinces. In the early Ming Dynasty, Shanxi Yuan moved to Hubei, Hebei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places as one of the surnames of people who moved to Hongtong Sophora japonica. From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, Yuan entered the southwest, south China and northeast China, and Taiwan Province Island also moved in. Now Yuan is widely distributed in China, especially in Anhui, Shandong and other provinces. At present, Yuan's population ranks 2nd13rd in China.
