The emperor's Wu surname originated from the Yellow Emperor's Ji surname, and his birthplace was Xinzheng, Henan Province, and Yucheng County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province. The ancient Wu surnames were mainly distributed in Chenliu County (now Chenliu Town, Kaifeng City, Henan Province), Puyang County (now Puyang City, Henan Province) and Yanling County (now Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province).
The distribution of Wu surname in China is mainly concentrated in Guangdong, Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou and Jiangsu provinces, accounting for about 34% of the total population of Wu surname, followed by Henan, Zhejiang, Hunan, Sichuan, Hubei, Shandong, Jiangxi and Anhui provinces, with a concentration of 4 1%. Wu ranked sixth in the Song version of Hundred Family Names. According to the statistics of 20 18 of the relevant state departments, the total population of Wu is about 28.8 million, ranking 10. Wu is the most popular surname among hundreds of surnames, ranking sixth in the Song Dynasty. Today I will tell you about the origin and development history of Wu. Because Wu's ancestors lived in Jishui Valley (now northwest Shaanxi), they took Jishui as their surname. Wu's ancestor was the Yellow Emperor. Huangdi married four good wives and gave birth to 25 sons, including 14 surnames, and then formed 14 tribes. Huang Di's wife, Lei Zu, gave birth to two sons and Changyi, both of whom inherited the original surname of Huang Di-Ji. The surname Wu was handed down from generation to generation. Wu Taibo is the ancestor of Wu.
He is the Wu Taibo family, the first family in the world recorded in Historical Records. The first man was Wu, but he had no heir, so he was called the ancestor of Kay. Zhong Yong, Taber's younger brother, inherited his position. So it is Wu's blood ancestor. At the end of Shang Dynasty, Gu Gongfu, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, led the tribe to settle in Joo Won? (now Qishan, Shaanxi) under Qishan. He has three sons: Taber, Zhong Yong and Li Ji. Li Ji's son Ji Chang is very talented. Gu Gong wants to be his heir, so that he can pass it on to Chang.
In order to make way, Taibo and Zhong Yong took their families to wuyue in the south and established the State of Wu. However, Taber has no children and his biography is located in Zhong Yong. When Zhong Yong spread to the fourth generation of Zhang Zhou, Zhou Wuwang had eliminated the Shang Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty. I found the descendants of Taibo He, found Yu Zhong with his younger brother, named Taibo the third grandson, and changed the country name to Wu. Later, it was destroyed by the state of Yue, and later people took Wu as their surname.
