The origin of the surname "Xian"?
Xian Yi originated from Wang Xianzhi, the leader of the peasant uprising army in the late Tang Dynasty. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, land was highly concentrated and taxes were heavy. Farmers are "frozen without clothes and hungry without food", "sick without medical treatment and dead without burial". In the first year of the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (AD 874), Wang Xianzhi, a native of Zhou Pu (now Changyuan County, Henan Province), gathered thousands of people to fight against the Tang Dynasty in Changyuan (now Changyuan County, Henan Province). He claimed to be "an ordinary general, the leader of all the big families in the country", which spread all over the world and gave orders to the world, and the people responded. The following year, Zhou Pu and Cao Zhou (now northwest of Cao Xian County) were conquered and developed to tens of thousands of people. In 875 AD, Huang Chao, a native of Cao Zhou (now Heze, Shandong) and a private salt dealer, led the public to respond, and joined hands with Wang Xianzhi to capture many counties in succession, and his power developed to Huainan area. When Ruzhou triumphed for three years and attacked qi zhou (now Qichun, Hubei Province), Wang Xianzhi secretly accepted the acceptance of the Tang Dynasty, and was reprimanded by Huang Chao and others, and his head was injured. After arresting the angry criminal, the king refused to surrender. From then on, he fought against Huang Chao, occupied Zhou Qinan, conquered Ezhou (now Wuchang, Hubei Province), and moved to Henan, Shandong, Anhui, Hubei and Jiangxi today to promote the peasant uprising struggle everywhere. At the same time, Wang Xianzhi wavered again and again. Gan Fu lost to Huangmei in five years. On the way to escape, it was renamed Xian family, but it was still killed by Tang army, but Xian family has been passed down to this day. Second, migration distribution.

Wang Zu was born in Henan. Ancestor Wang Xianzhi is now distributed in yongji city. Third, the famous historical figures are the immortals of the Song Dynasty and Ningguo people. After the establishment of the proposal, he assisted Hou Yu, the former capital of the imperial capital, and went to Huizhou as a secretariat.
