"Forty-five Brocade" said: "The surname Guo was destroyed by Qi. Mu Chuan: Sheng, Ji surname. "A textual research on surnames:" Zhou Muwang is a prosperous country. "The Draft of Words and Actions of Mingzu pointed out in more detail:" Surnames were destroyed by Qi. Mutong, the country of prosperity. Pass the ram, you will be defeated by Qi, and the winner will be prosperous, avoiding the same surname. There are Situ Shengji, Runan and Guo Liang. " After the destruction of Shang Dynasty in Zhou Dynasty, many countries with the same surname were enfeoffed, which was one of them. When Guo Shengchu sealed Ji Man, Zhou Muwang, he was located in Huafeng area, south of Tai 'an. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Guo Sheng was harassed by powerful neighbors such as Lu, Qi and Wei, and was finally destroyed by Qi in 686 BC. After the national subjugation, Sheng Guogong took the country name as his surname to commemorate the old country, and his surname was Sheng. This Sheng surname is obviously descended from the Yellow Emperor.
Second, the system was changed to Ying surname, which was in the late Western Han Dynasty. In addition, according to Ji's "Records of Wenshang County, Shandong Province", "Sheng's family came from Guangling County, and the official name was Yu, which was the surname of the princes of Yan State, and it was even more prosperous." In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a famous minister named Sun Zi, and a surname named Xuan, who gave Yu Sheng a vassal of the State of Yan. When he arrived at the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, he avoided the taboo of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and changed his country name to his surname.
