About the origin of Fu surname, it comes from Fu Shuo, a famous Wuding figure and Emperor Gaozong of Yin Dynasty. In order to revitalize the country, Wu Ding, the Emperor of the Shang Dynasty, hoped to find a competent minister to assist him. There is also a record in the compilation of Yuanhe surnames in the Tang Dynasty: "Fu and Hou said that they were built because they thought they were surnames." Words and deeds of famous people, Guang Yun, Explanation of surnames and Zheng Qiao's Brief History of Ethnic Groups all advocate this theory. Therefore, this is the ancestor of Fu.
Where is Fu's ancestral home?
Although he was born in the east of Pinglu, Shaanxi, his surname was Yin, the capital of Shang Dynasty. Therefore, the earliest birthplace of Fu surname in China should be Xiaotun Village in Anyang, Henan. During the Han and Jin Dynasties, the Fu family moved to Shaanxi, Longdong, Ningxia and other places in the northwest, and then moved eastward to Hebei and Shandong. The northern part (governing the northwest of Qingyang, Gansu) began with Fujiezi in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, which was the beginning of the Fu family.
His great-grandson Fu Chang was reinstated to Yiyang Hou, and his great-grandson Fu Yunshi Hongnong (now Lingbao North, Henan Province) was the prefect. There are many dignitaries in this school, many of whom are officials or marquis. This shows that in the Han Dynasty, Fu's surname began to migrate from the north to Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other places via Shaanxi. At this time, there were many branches of Fu surname in the north: in Hanoi (now wen county, Henan Province), Fu surname was the family of Fu in the Western Han Dynasty; Pujiang (now Zhejiang Province).
Fu surname is a Fu Rou family in the Western Han Dynasty. Fufeng (now northeast of Xingping, Shaanxi Province) is Fu Shi, who belongs to Fu Yi, a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty. During the Jin Dynasty, the Fu family developed rapidly in Qinghe (now Qinghe, Hebei), which was also the most prosperous period in the history of the Fu family.
