Today, there is a clan in Shandong, Jiangsu, Henan, Anhui, Shanxi and Sichuan.

The source of the surname is:

1, from Zi surname, from Shang Tang.

The ancestor of Shang dynasty, surnamed Tang, was named Zi, and later generations took his word as his surname, which was called Yi.

Later generations changed "B" to "A" as the surname.

2. It originated from Yi Fu family of Xianbei nationality.

According to the historical book Shu Wei, in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Yi Fu was the Xianbei people in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After the Northern Wei regime entered the Central Plains, in the process of the localization reform of Emperor Xiaowen in the Northern Wei Dynasty, most of them changed their surnames to Lou, but some people changed the Chinese homonym of the original surnames to,, and then gradually merged into the Han nationality, which was passed down from generation to generation.

3, from Xianbei Yi Nanlou clan.

During the localization reform of Emperor Xiaowen in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Lou's family was mostly changed to Lou's, but some people changed the homonym of the original surname to Mi's or Yi's.

Mijia was once famous in the history of China.

According to records, the most prominent figure in the Mi family is Mi Gui, also known as Yi Gui.

In the second year of the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 44 1 year), Mi Zhu became the general of Zhennan, the captain of Xu and the Duke of Xiping. Later, he became a servant, general Zheng Dong, the secretariat of Dingzhou, became king, and later became a general of the West Road.

After Mi Zhu's death, he was given a gift, and posthumous title was named "Gong".

In ancient times, "Mi" was the ancient Chinese character of "Yi". Therefore, the Mi and B ethnic groups are simply referred to as Yi ethnic groups, and they are all integrated into the Han nationality and passed down from generation to generation.

4. The Xiongnu King Xi originated from the ancient Western Regions.

According to the history book History of the Five Dynasties, in the later Tang Dynasty, Ming Taizu Li Siyuan gave Ge Shiyi, then the assistant envoy of King Kumoxi, the Han surname "B", and his descendants were therefore called "B".

Later generations changed their surnames to homophonic Chinese character "I" because of refuge, and all of them were integrated into the Han nationality and passed down from generation to generation.
