1, a descendant of Shun, one of the five emperors, comes from Gui. Shun belongs to a family that lives in a dangerous place, so he is called Yu Shun in history. Later, Yao accepted the recommendation of April and decided to let Shun inherit his throne and betrothed his two daughters to him. According to Yao Dian, when Shun was in power, he ordered Hou Ji to sow the valley as the envoys said. Digging ditches to build water conservancy projects; Dredge rivers and control floods; Declare five punishments and destroy the four murderous families. Know people well and be good at their duties. According to their different talents, he made them hold different official positions, such as appointing Yu to be in charge of water and soil; Appointed and abandoned as Hou Ji, in charge of agriculture; Appointed Stuart, in charge of the five major religions; Hao Tao was appointed to administer five punishments and so on. Therefore, during the reign of Shun, there appeared a good situation of ancient political integrity and harmony. Historical Records commented on this: "The name of the world began in Yu."

According to legend, Shun was born in Yao Ruins, and later generations took the land as their surname, called Yao's, "Tongzhi?" Genealogy records: "Yao's surname is also the surname, and Yudi was born in Yao's ruins, so he thinks he is his birth surname." There are two opinions about the exact location of Yao site. One is that it is located in the south of Fan County, Henan Province. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Shoujie's Historical Records Justice quoted the record of Kuozhizhi: "Yao Ruins are in the east of the county." Another way of saying it is located in the northeast of Heze County, Shandong Province.

In addition, according to records, Shun's surname is Gui because he lives in Guishui, so it can be inferred that Shun's surname is Gui, so Yao's surname is also from Gui's surname.

2. From the surname. According to History of the Road, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Yao was a descendant of Shang clan (Shang clan surnamed Zi), so he took the country as his surname and called Yao.

3. Other nationalities changed their names to Yao. According to relevant historical records, Yao Yuan, the leader of the Qiang nationality in the Western Jin Dynasty, was a descendant of the Qiang minority family in the Han Dynasty. They claimed to be descendants of Shun Di, so they changed their surnames to Yao. The Book of Jin records: "Yao Zhong Yi Nan 'an (now southeast of Longxi County, Gansu Province) and Chiting (west of Longxi County) are Qiang people. First, there was a descendant of Yu, Yu's youngest son, who was a toast in Xirong. After that, it burned between Han Tao and Han Tao. "

From its birth to the Spring and Autumn Period, Yao's surname mainly developed in Henan. Before the Jin Dynasty, it had developed to Shanxi, Guangxi, Sichuan and other places. In 384 AD, Yao established the post-Qin regime, and with the participation of Yao in Longxi, Gansu, Yao gradually became stronger. After the demise of the post-Qin regime, according to the Book of Jin, Emperor Wu of Song moved the Yao surname "Yuzong" to the south of the Yangtze River, so many Yao surnames in the south of the Yangtze River are descendants of this Yao surname. Since then, Yao's surname has multiplied faster and spread more widely. Before the Tang Dynasty, it had become a prominent family in Zhejiang, Xing Wu and Longzhou, Gansu. Later, a Yao family in Xing Wu moved to Shaanxi County. After the Tang Dynasty, Yao's reproduction was more extensive and spread all over the country. In the Tang Dynasty, Yao first entered Fujian. According to historical records, Yao was one of the entourage when he entered Fujian and opened Zhang. Among them, in the fourth year of Tang Wude (AD 62 1), Yaozhou was specially established because Yao 'an and Dayao counties in Yunnan had the largest number of Yao surnames. In the Song Dynasty, Yao's surname developed to Guangdong. In the early Ming Dynasty, Yao Wuding, Guan and Guan, from Putian, Fujian Province, whose ancestral home was Guangxi, entered Hainan and became the ancestor of Qiong Yao's surname. One of them, Yao from Jiangxi, moved to Hua Meng (now Weishan County, Yunnan Province) during this period. 200 1 A genealogy of Yao family was found in Weishan Yi and Hui Autonomous County, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, which was inscribed by Ouyang Xiu, a famous writer and historian in the Northern Song Dynasty. The inscription reads "Xi Ning four years in 1911, especially promoted bachelor of arts as Prince Ouyang Xiu Shu, sixty-one layman", and the square pattern of "Liu Yi Ju Shi" seal script is printed on the back of the calligraphy. As can be seen from the genealogy and preface, the Yao surname of Weishan originated from Jiangxi, and their ancestors became prominent families in the Tang and Song Dynasties. The twenty-fourth ancestors of Yao's surname, Ke Ming and Ke Cheng, joined the Ming army to naturalize in Yunnan (now Weishan County). Ouyang Xiu's original work should have been brought to Yunnan in the early Ming Dynasty, and become an ancestral treasure of the Yao family in Weishan. In Qing Dynasty, Yao was introduced into Taiwan Province and began to spread overseas.

While developing southward, Yao's family also developed northward to Inner Mongolia, Liaoning and other places. In the long river of historical development, Yao celebrities come forth in large numbers, making indelible contributions to the development of the Chinese nation. This can be seen from the couplets of people surnamed Guan Yao in past dynasties. For example, "father and son become twin brothers, and count two." The first part of the report said that Yao Cha, a regular servant of the Sui Dynasty, was ordered to compile two historical books, Chen and Liang, which were not completed until his death. His son inherited his father's wishes and completed the second history. The second league refers to Lin Yao, the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty, whose name is Junrui, who built a strong army and established military strength. He doesn't boast of his military exploits, runs the army strictly, and his subordinate soldiers are willing to work for him. Both brothers later made great contributions and were called "Er Yao". The first part refers to Yao Chong, a famous politician in the Tang Dynasty. He and his family have made great achievements in politics. Yao Chong was the official to the prime minister, and served as the prime minister of Wu Zetian and Xuanzong. He is honest and won the hearts of the people.

Chimonanthus praecox in Yanling County is the most famous Chimonanthus praecox in China. Every household in Yaojia Village in the west of the county grows wintersweet, which has always enjoyed the reputation of "Yaojia Huangmei is the best in the world".
