The main birthplace of Ye surname is Henan. In the pre-Qin period, according to Ye's genealogy (one branch), the cotyledons were heavy, and in the Warring States period, the leaves were Dr. Chu. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Ye descendants lived in Henan, Hunan, Shanxi, Shandong and other places. For example, the fourth grandson of Nakano was appointed as the satrap of Yingchuan (now Yuxian County, Henan Province), the sixth grandson was appointed as the satrap of Changsha (now Hunan Province), the eighth grandson was appointed as the satrap of Yanmen (now Shanxi Province), and the ninth grandson was appointed as the secretariat of Qingzhou (now Shandong Province).

The southward migration in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties is another southward migration in the history of Ye after Wang Ye moved southward. According to reports, Ye Ju was appointed as the order of Qiantang (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang), and his son moved to Jian 'an County, Jianning Prefecture, Fujian Province, Xin 'an, Henan Province and Jinyun, Zhejiang Province. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, some people named Ye lived in Shouxian and Xiuning counties of Anhui Province. During this period, Ye developed greatly and the population increased greatly.

In Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong, there are also people named Ye. "A Brief Introduction to Clans in Taipei" states: "There are two major differences. One school is the Xianyou Gulaiye family who lives in Yongzhou (now Shaanxi). During the Five Seasons Rebellion, his family moved to Mo Ding (now Hebei) and settled in Gushi, Gwangju, Henan in the Song Dynasty. Later, Ye followed Song to Xianyou (now Fujian) and lived in ancient times (now Diandian). Later, they separated in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou.
