What is the origin of Guo?
In the Western Zhou Dynasty, it belonged to Ji, and his uncle was named Xiguo (Guo Tong) in Baoji, Shaanxi. When it moved eastward, the western country moved to Henan, renamed the southern country, and was destroyed in Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period. The history of staying in the former western country said that it was destroyed by Qin in the Spring and Autumn Period. Zhou Wuwang named his uncle Guo Shu in Dongguo, north of Xingyang, Henan. According to legend, as early as the ancient tribal leader Yu period (about 2 1 century BC), Guo was named Kaiji. Guo has a long history.

Xia Dynasty followed Guo Zhi and Ai Guo. The ancient book records that "Yu takes two dragons, and the country is imperial." "There was a Guo Hou in ancient times, and there was a commander in chief in the Xia Dynasty." Guo Zhihe is the earliest Guo surname recorded in China. Therefore, Guo Zhihe, a Xia native whose capital is Yangcheng (now Dengfeng East, Henan Province) in Chinese history, is regarded as the ancestor of Guo by later generations.
