The origin and history of Xiong family
1, Xiong is one of the oldest surnames in China, which can be traced back to the Zhou Chengwang period in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it is the surname of the nobles in Chu. Xiong has a long history, a huge family and many branches. Xiong's family once had 72 famous families, ranking 68th among hundreds of surnames. The ancestor of the surname is raccoon, which is the descendant of Zhu Rong's family.

2. Xiong has three obvious characteristics. First, his surname is early and has a long history. Second, the clan is huge and numerous, spreading all over the country, and there are bear clan people everywhere; Third, there are countless talents. Since ancient times, there have been outstanding figures of bears, especially in the Northern Song Dynasty. Among them, the bear surname of Miao and Yao was changed from Chinese to Chinese, which has nothing to do with the aristocratic family of Chu.

3. The famous archaeologist said in "A Brief History of Bronze inscriptions in the Western Zhou Dynasty": "Hua, the place name, is in Mixian County, Henan Province (now Xinzheng). Huayi is in Xinzheng, with a bear market and Zhu Rong. Heavy Lebanon, Qiang is in Xinzheng. " The reason why the king of Chu was surnamed Xiong was probably because he was blocked in Huayang near the Zhu Rong market, and the market in Zhu Rong was also called the bear market.
