After the demise of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Ji, a descendant of the former Zhou King, used to be a doctor of the State of Qin.
Ji was killed when Qin Shihuang burned books and buried Confucianism.
Ji's younger brother Ji changed the names of Ji's four sons according to the pronunciation of his name to avoid disaster.
The eldest son changed his name to righteousness and lived in Youzhou to keep the tomb; The second child, Qi Tu, moved to Zhu Xu, Jinan. The third one is called Guan Award and lives in Lishan, Qi State. Old four called acetylene and moved to Yangcheng, Henan.
So there are four homophone surnames: Gui, Yun, Gui and acetylene.
Gui surname is the descendant of Gui Yi, the eldest son of Ji, and it has been passed down from generation to generation.
Although the above four surnames use different words, they all have the same pronunciation and belong to the same family.
In the Five Dynasties, in order to escape the war, the four surnames moved to Guangxin, Shangrao and Ruzhou in Henan.
