Historical source
"seats" come from:
1, the descendant of the teacher. According to "Wan Family Tree", when Yao was a tribal leader, he met an old man who claimed to be an old man and began to sing. Yao admired it after listening to it, so he worshipped him as a teacher. Stone is the ancestor of stone.
2. Change your last name. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a doctor in the State of Jin. Because he is in charge of Jin classics, he takes Ji as his surname. His thirteenth generation descendants, descendants of Xiang Yu at the end of Qin Dynasty, were called Ji Qian, the name of Xiang Yu. Ji Qian changed his name to avoid Xiang Yu, and his descendants also changed their names to surnames. Later, Xiang Yu was defeated and committed suicide, so there was no need to change his surname, so some people resumed their surnames, and some people followed the surname of Xi, forming the surname of Xi.

"Do it at sunrise and rest at sunset; Dig wells to drink water, plow fields to eat; What is Dili to me? " This famous Song of Breaking the Ground is familiar and catchy to everyone in China. The Song of Breaking the Earth and the other Song of Resistance to Qu Yuan are two of China's oldest poems. According to Records of the Five Emperors, Song of Digging the Earth was written by an old man who planted crops in Xiangling (now Sui County, Henan Province) when Emperor Yao ruled the world in ancient times. The old man often sang "Beating the Soil" after ploughing, which gradually spread to the ears of Emperor Yao. Although the name of the teacher Xi in the Emperor Yao era is unknown, it provides the most concrete evidence for the surname Xi in ancient China. This is exactly what is recorded in "Wan's General Spectrum": "In the era, the old man of Tusang, surnamed Yao Zun, was a teacher". In this way, although there are not many people taking Xi as their surname in China at present, it has a history of at least 4,300 years and is one of the oldest surnames in China. More than 4000 years ago, there was a man named Xi in Sui County, Henan Province. By the time of the Chu-Han War more than 2000 years ago, a new family appeared in Shaanxi of the State of Jin, that is, the surname of Ji was changed to. The appearance of this branch of the Xi family is recorded in detail in books such as Garden of Surnames and Compilation of Surnames. "Xingyuan" first pointed out: "Dr. Jin talked about Zubo's book because of his surname and learned Jin Jing"; Then the Collection of Surnames went on to point out: "After talking about surnames, Dr. Jin talked about thirteen generations of grandchildren, avoiding the name of Xiang Yu and changing his name. He first moved to the Kanto Haozu, Xi moved to his family and settled in Jingxing. " Xi's family, originated from an ancient teacher, originated in Henan; Xi family's ancestral home is Shaanxi, belonging to the Jin nationality in the Spring and Autumn Period. Referring to the record of "looking for stability and welcoming Jing" in the Book of Surnames, it is found that the stability and welcoming Jing before the Tang Dynasty are all in Gansu today; In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Xi family flourished in Xiangyang, Hubei Province, which shows that the early Xi family should be active in northern China.
During the Tianbao period of Emperor Tang and Ming Dynasties, the brilliance of poetry was the highest in all previous dynasties. At this time, among the many literati in the whole court, there were Yu, who was praised as the "poet's crown" by Emperor Yukou, and the son of Jia in Xiangyang who carried forward his family style. It is said that once Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty personally went to Yuanting to compose poems, and the monarch and the minister were in harmony. After the emperor's personal selection, he thought Yu's poems were the best, so he won the unparalleled honor of "the crown of poems". More than 300 years ago, in the late Ming Dynasty, the Xi family, which had been active in the Central Plains, had appeared all over the south. Xi in the last years of Chongzhen lived in Yao 'an, Yunnan at that time.
