1, which originated from the won surname, took the country as its surname after Shao Hao spread to the east. The ancestor is Ruomu, the son of Boyi, the great grandson of Emperor Zhuan Xu.

According to legend, Boyi, the great grandson of Emperor Zhuan Xu, made great contributions to Dayu's water control. Shun Di gave him a surname and married a woman named Yao. Ms Yao has two sons, and the youngest son is Ruomu. Because of his father's work, Ruomu was sealed in Xu in summer, and Xu State was established. His hometown was in northwest Jiangsu and northeast Anhui. Xu Guoli was a vassal in Xia, Shang and Wednesday, and when he was there, he spread to Sun XXXII, Xu Yunyan. At that time, Xu was already very powerful and wanted to take a cruise. In foreign times, he was called the son of heaven. He claimed to lead the allied forces to attack Zhou. When King Mu got the news, he took Zhao Fukai's car to Kyoto day and night, mobilized troops to suppress it, abandoned the country and hid in the mountains around Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu). Because of his popularity, thousands of people followed him into the mountains. This mountain was later called Xushan, hence the name Xuzhou. In the later Zhou Dynasty, King Mu named the son of the Prince of Yan Juxu (now Sihong, Jiangsu Province), still known as "Xu Zi". During the Spring and Autumn Period, Xu was defeated by Chu, and his national strength gradually weakened. The 11th grandparents and grandchildren were finally annexed by the State of Wu in eight years (50 BC), and later generations took the country as their surname and praised it.

In the early years of the Zhou Dynasty, the clan named Xu was already relatively strong, forming a square country, which was called Xu Fang in the history books. Because he belongs to Dongyi Group, Xu, who won the surname, certainly expressed great understanding and support in the merchant rebellion after the destruction of the merchants in the Zhou Dynasty, which is also the reason why the merchant clan did not split after the counter-insurgency in the early Zhou Dynasty. However, with the strengthening and consolidation of the influence of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it will inevitably threaten Xu Fang's interests and survival. As a result, Xu Fang and the Zhou Dynasty broke out more than once, and as a result, they won and lost each other. This is recorded in the relevant documents of pre-Qin and later generations. The Book of Rites records the memory of Dr. Xu's residence: "In the past, I was the king of horses first, and western learning helped the river." The object of the Western Expedition must be the Zhou Dynasty, and the residence may be the monarch of Xu in the early Zhou Dynasty. The army has reached the Yellow River, which shows the strength of military strength. Moreover, Xu is also a king, on an equal footing with the Zhou royal family, which is naturally intolerable. These birds have been conquering when they were in Shandong. "Historical Records" records: "Bo Qin led the teacher to cut it, and made" Fei Shi ",which made Xu Rongping and Dinglu." The Book of Songs says, "Duke Lu's contribution ... abandoned Xu Zhai." Nothing grows, and the meaning is still unfinished. Under the pressure of the ostrich army, Xu had to move south and move to the Huaihe River Basin. Therefore, Guo Xu is also called Huaiyi and Xu Yi. Because of repeated wars and defeats, it is also called Xu Rong.

After Guo Xu moved south, he still maintained a strong national strength. On the one hand, it will stabilize the surrounding situation and crack down on countries that are at odds with him, including Shu or other tribes with the same surname Xu. On the other hand, he is actively preparing for the war.

According to ancient books, King Zhao of Zhou died in Hanshui, which was largely related to the conquest of Xu and Chu. When I arrived in Zhou Muwang, Xu Yanwang was in power and the country was prosperous. According to "Bamboo Book Year", in the 13th year, Xu Rong invaded Romania. According to the Records of the Later Han Dynasty, "After Xu Yi and posthumous title, Jiuyi conquered the Zhou Dynasty and reached Taoshui in the west. King Mu was afraid of his arrogance, but he was divided into eastern countries and ordered Xu Yanwang to take charge. Rebecca lies 500 miles east of Huangchi. Righteousness, the land is in the six countries. " The whole East is managed by the government, and it can compete with the Zhou royal family and become the king of the East.

In the history of Xu, he is the most important ancestor after Xu. This is because in the relevant historical documents and Xu genealogy, it has almost become synonymous with benevolence and righteousness, which has led to almost all Xu genealogy. If some surnames can be traced back to the source, they can basically be traced back to Xu Yanwang. If it goes back, Xu Yanwang will be regarded as the most important part. In various Xu genealogies, it is considered as the 3rd1grandson of Ruomu, that is to say, there are 33 grandchildren from Boyi to.

Xu Yanwang's records originated from two books: Dead Son and Xunzi at the end of the Warring States Period. The book Dead Body has been lost for a long time. Quoted from other books, Xu Yanwang has two records, namely "Xu Yanwang has sinews but no bones" and "Xu Yanwang is so strange, you can get strange fish without deep water, but monsters abound in deep mountains". Xunzi juxtaposed him with Zhou Gong, Zhou Gong, Yi Yin, Yu, Tang and Yao Shun, but did not explain the reason, only said: "Visible shape is like a horse."

According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, Xu Yanwang is located in the eastern part of the Han Dynasty, five hundred miles away in Fiona Fang, a benevolent man. Six out of thirty countries ceded land to South Korea. King Jingwen was afraid that he would harm himself, so he sent troops to attack Xu and destroy him. Therefore, Wen Wang benevolent rule the world, Yan Wang benevolent rule the country. There was benevolence and righteousness in ancient times, but there is no benevolence and righteousness today.

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Huainanzi adhered to Han Feizi's record: In the past, Xu Yanwang was kind and benevolent, and its territory was ruled by 32 countries. Wang Sun said to him, "If you don't attack Xu, you will rebel against Xu." The King of Qi said, "Restrain the King of Wang Youdao, and be benevolent. It's hopeless. " Wang Sun said, "I heard that there are big and small", and there are strong and weak ones. Any questions? And the husband can't achieve his virtue for the sake of literature, and can't let his strength for the sake of martial arts. What a mess. "The king said," good. Liu Bei said, "I sent troops to attack Xu and break him.

There are two places recorded in the history books, and it is recorded in Ji Qin: "... Zhao Fu was fortunate to be the king of Zhou Miao (and Mu Tong) because of his kindness ... hunting in the west, but he forgot to come back with joy. Xu Yanwang Uprising. Zhao Fu, for Miao Wangyu, traveled thousands of miles every day to save the chaos. " "Zhao Shijia" is more detailed: "Zhao Fu was lucky to be King Miao of Zhou ... Miao Wang named Zhao Fu as the suggestion and went hunting in the west. When he met the Queen Mother of the West, he was so happy that he forgot to go home, but Xu Yanwang rebelled. Wang Miao rode a swift horse to attack Xu Yanwang and broke it. "

After the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, it was described as follows: Queen Mu had a difficult journey, which made Zhao Fu report to Chu and ordered Xu to come some day. Therefore, King Chu Wen wiped it out with a large number of troops. Ren had no right. He couldn't stand fighting with his men, so he was defeated. Nai went north to the foot of Dongshan Mountain in Wuyuan County, Pengcheng, followed by tens of thousands of people, because the mountain was named Xushan.

It is recorded in the Natural History and various Xu genealogies and other later documents: Born in the thirty-sixth year of King Zhao of Zhou, Xu's mother was pregnant with emotion. After giving birth to an egg at term, her family called it an ominous sign and abandoned it by the river. An old lady named Dugu kept a dog named Gu Cang, took it back and put it under the bed. Three days later, it was thrown into the water by her family because of its filth, and was also thrown away by the dog. When the family wanted to throw it again, they suddenly heard a child crying in the middle. When they cut it open, they saw that it was a baby, with a correct description and a gentle voice. I just held it tightly in my left hand until I was seven years old. I have a special texture in my hand, which seems to be the word "Rebecca", so I took it as a number. After the dog died, it turned into Huanglong, and the burial place was called "Dog Ridge" by Xu people. From the oviposition, we can think that Daye and Qimu were conceived by swallowing eggs, and there is no doubt that they belong to Dongyi Group, which adds another piece of evidence to Xu Yuanyuan, who won the surname.

Xu Yanwang 17 years old, brilliant, poetic and polite. 20 years old, both civil and military. After he succeeded to the throne, he practiced benevolence and righteousness, except for criminal disputes. "He was caught by Jia Jiage, fell into the city, did righteousness, was treated with kindness, treated things like injuries, and cherished princes, who gave me life and death. Thirty, there are six countries, all wearing a king. " Once, when the organization dug the Chencai Canal, it dug up a pair of red bows and arrows. Everyone thought it was lucky and gave it to them. At that time, because Zhou Muwang loved to travel around the country, national affairs were neglected, and many governors complained bitterly.

On one occasion, Zhou Muwang went west to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, met the Queen Mother of the West, and forgot to return. With the support of the eastern governors, he led the 36-way allied forces to March into Zhou. When Zhou Muwang got the news, he drove into the kitchen and rushed back to Beijing a thousand miles a day, mobilizing troops to suppress it. Xu Yanwang didn't expect Zhou Muwang to come back so soon. He couldn't bear the loss of life, so the people suffered, so he abandoned his country and hid in the mountains around Pengcheng. Because of his popularity, tens of thousands of people followed him into the mountain, which was later called Xushan, hence the name Xuzhou. After Zhou Muwang's defeat, because he was very popular in the local area, he had to continue to seal his son to live in Xu, but he was reduced to viscount and let him continue to manage Xu. Later, when Xu Yanwang died in the mountains, he died of old age here in Quzhou, Zhejiang. So far, Xu is the largest surname in Quzhou, which has something to do with it. Later generations also built the Xu Yanwang Temple in Quzhou, and Han Yu, a famous writer in the Tang Dynasty, wrote the Monument to Xu Yanwang Temple in Quzhou:

Xu and Qin both went to war and won the surname country. Xian made great contributions in the Xia, Yin and Zhou Dynasties. In the west, Qin devoted himself to and suffered the decline of the world. There is no tomorrow, so the world is swallowed for the public and the world is the minister of Qin. Qin does not take advantage of it, and thieves harm it from top to bottom. He died for his country and ruined his Sect. In the land of Xu, morality is the rule, and birthday is the country, which is conducive to getting rid of punishment and fighting for the last thing. Out of justice, all the people in the kingdom should be treated in all directions. At this time, Zhou Muwang has no idea, and his intention is not in the world. The good Taoist said that he won eight dragons, rode a horse to the West, and feasted with the Empress Dowager on the Yaochi. He forgot to return, and the people who argued among the four princes had no quality. Salty guests offer sacrifices to Xu, and those who live or die in Xu yuan can get it. Hearing this, Mu Wang was afraid that he would be ordered, so he ordered Zhao Fu to be an imperial envoy and hurried home. With Chu Lian, Xu could not bear to fight with his men. He went north to the foot of Wuyuan Mountain in Pengcheng, and the people followed him, with more than 10,000 households. After Rebecca's death, people named his mountain "Xushan", chiseled stone as a room and Rebecca as a temple. Although Rebecca died and lost his country, the people wore his heir to become the monarch, and the foal king and Changyu's grandparents and grandchildren looked at each other. Since the Qin Dynasty, he has become a famous giant and has been following the history books. Xu Shiwang's career was to suppress the king, but after Qin, he was alone and died in the cypress tree. He is neither partial nor thick, he is kind and violent, and naturally he is different. Quzhou is the last place for the meeting, and most people are surnamed Xu, and there is a temple in Longqiu County. Or Rebecca fled the war, not in Pengcheng, but in the corner of the city, abandoning jade and studying in Huiji water. In other words, Xu Yu is a descendant of Wu and Xu Zhigong, who lives in the temple of the former king and is scattered between Xu and Yang. At the beginning of Yun Kaiyuan, it was a secretariat, so he was handsome and had the same surname as Han, so he changed it to a temple house and carried things on the tablet. In the last 90 years, Yuanhe was nine years old, and Xu Jia was reinstated as a secretariat, putting the word Duff. The former monument is called the assistant minister of this department, and his father is also. As for Longqiu, spring outing depends on farmers, which is related to temples. Thinking about the origin, it is said that it is simple and narrow, which is not enough to show piety, but it is perfect and the beams and barrels are red and white (excessive). If the image is not healed, the vassal will be destroyed, the court will be bare, prayer will be slow, the country will be blessed, and the group will have no income. Gongda Temple is the central temple, which corresponds to the salty sequence of Zongqing. He is twenty years old. There are no strange storms in the state, the people are tireless, and the food and fruit are complete. People are worried about this. No false accusations. Because he resigned from Beijing, he was blamed on the stone. The word says, "Uneasy, Xu is left out in the cold, Qin ghosts are hungry, Xu has a temple, and he is gentle, courteous and frugal, but he is slow to do his job. In fact, his surname is short and long, and he is not worthy of the king. He teaches his own interests. Which is the pawn of the king? The market for aunts is too long. First, we should teach the temple carefully and try our best to benefit the temple people. Not the Lord, but Duff, who knows the yuan of filial piety, is in the last place, the city of ancient temples, the filial piety of benevolence, and should be favored, and the afterlife is Wang Wei. Although the ancients were arrogant, they died of benevolence, and they pursued literature when they died.

"Bamboo Book Year" records that three years later, it invaded Romania. This situation lasted until Zhou Xuanwang's reign, and finally a war broke out. It is recorded in the Book of Songs. The generals who went to war in the Zhou Dynasty included Nan Zhong, Huang Fu and Xiu Fu. "When Emperor Taizu lived in the south, the master Huangfu commanded my sixth division to repair our army, and respected the teachers for the benefit of this southern country." "Wang Zhao divorced his father, accused and banned my disciple, and led him to Huaipu to save this place", which led to "Xu Fang teasing", "shocking Xu Fang" and "demanding Xu Fang", resulting in "Xu Fang coming", "Xu Fang coming" and "Xu Fang going to court". As a result of the war, Xu completely surrendered to the Zhou Dynasty.

After entering the Spring and Autumn Period, with the gradual decline of the Zhou Dynasty and the decline of political control, the vassal states in the Central Plains rose in succession, contending for power and profit, and having no time to look south, while the forces of Chu in the south just rose and have not yet gone north. In this political vacuum, Xu also took the opportunity to annex some small neighboring countries, including Shu, and began his own road of revival, constantly waging wars with countries such as Beiqi and Lu, with Chu in the south and Wu in the later. With the growing strength and hegemony of Qi and Chu, Xu became the object of contention between the two countries. At first, it was too close to the state of Qi, which caused the dissatisfaction of Chu. In the spring of 646 BC, the State of Chu attacked the State of Xu, but it failed despite being rescued by the northern Qi and Cao armies. With his death, the status and national strength of Qi declined, and Xu's political attitude gradually moved closer to Chu. This has aroused the dissatisfaction of Kim, a great northern country. However, because the forces of Jin and Chu are roughly equal, it is difficult to win or lose at one time. In this case, Jin accepted the suggestion of escaping from the state of Chu and helped the emerging state of Wu to train troops to contain the state of Chu. According to the article recorded in the seventh year of Zuo Zhuan (584 BC), the State of Wu gradually became stronger, which was "cutting Chu, cutting nests and cutting Xu" in that year. At the beginning of the dispute between Wu and Chu in the south, Xu Guoli sought to remain neutral and maintain good relations with Wu. If the Wu people went to the north, they had to pass through Guo Xu, and at this time, Guo Xu treated them warmly. On one occasion, Wu passed Xu Shi, and Xu was hospitable. When he saw Ji Zha's sword, he liked it very much, and his appearance was obvious. When he returned to China, Xu was already dead. After going to worship at Xu's tomb, he hung his sword on the tree in front of it. People are confused. Ji Zha explained, "I know Xu Jun likes my sword, but I can't give it to him, because I was the ambassador to China at that time, but I already promised. Now I will come back and hang it on his grave, even though I am dead. "

This neutral attitude of Xu caused serious dissatisfaction of Chu. In 538 BC, Shen Yu, a warlord headed by Chu, was arrested by Chu at the meeting. At that time, there were Cai, Chen, Xu and other countries, as well as Dun, Hu and Shen (all at the junction of Henan and Anhui) and. Chu took the opportunity to conquer Zhu Fang. Two years later, Xu Chu hired the State of Chu (passed down from generation to generation, with Wang Yichu and Jin Yue as neighbors), and lost sincerity towards Chu.

In 530 BC, Chu attacked Xu again, and Xu's strength became weaker and weaker, so he had to attach himself to Chu in order to survive. In this way, we offended the old enemy of Chu, Qi. In 524 BC, the State of Qi conquered Xu, forcing Xu to turn around and join the State of Qi. In the second year, Xu formed an alliance with Song, Yan and Nan to jointly resist the invasion of Wu in the north. Under the strong pressure of Chu, Xu finally defected to Chu, which greatly angered Wu, the enemy of Chu. In 5 12 BC, Wu Pai army attacked Xu and built a dam to divert water to the capital of Xu. When he broke the city, his 11th grandson Xu Yu (also known as Zhang Yu) "broke his hair and married his wife", fled to Chu and settled in Yi (now Chenghuangji, 20 kilometers southeast of Bo County, Anhui Province). Xu officially destroyed the country.

After the death of Xu Guo, members of the Xu clan still took the country as their surname and were proud of it. Despite the disaster of national subjugation, this heart did not change until hundreds of years later, during the Qin and Han Dynasties, it took a surname.

After the country perished, many people stayed in their original places. One of them, the program, became the doctor of Wu. In 485 BC, he led a shipmaster to attack Qi from all over the country. Some of them moved west and north, and entered today's Shandong, Henan and Shanxi areas. A considerable number of the rest migrated south. When I first moved to Yuchang, it was called earth and water in ancient times. According to the records of reading history books, "soil and water are the Chuhe River", which is now the Chuhe River in Chuxian County, Anhui Province. Later, some of them crossed the Yangtze River and entered southern Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Hubei. This can be seen from some local place names and unearthed inscriptions related to Xu's surname. There is Yuhang Mountain near Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and Yuhang County is located in Qin Dynasty, and ancient Chinese characters are connected with Xu. There are many streams in the north of Huzhou, many pavilions on the stream, many dry mountains in Changxing nearby, and Huiji Mountain in the south of Shaoxing, which was called Lushan Mountain in ancient times. There is painting water in Xianning county, Hubei province, and the place where it enters the river is called Tukou, which can prove it. In addition, a number of bronzes have been unearthed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, some of which can be clearly identified as ritual vessels, that is, Xu vessels. 1In April, 979, three bronzes were unearthed in Jing 'an County, Jiangxi Province, which can be identified as ritual vessels.

2, from the surname of the son, after the businessman; Another branch of Xu is the Shang clan.

Businessman, surnamed Zi, a member of Dongyi Group, takes the mysterious bird as the totem, that is, the black swallow. In the Book of Songs, there is a saying that "the life of a mysterious bird leads to the life of a merchant, and the local products are in the house", which refers to merchants. At the latest in the last years of Shang dynasty, there was already the Xu family among merchants.

Qi's mother is E's daughter named Judy. According to historical records, she was the second princess of Di Ku. Once she saw a mysterious bird drop its egg, and Judy picked it up and swallowed it, so she got pregnant and gave birth to Qi. There are similar records in Notes Collection, Bamboo Records and other books. These records show that the ancestors of the merchants were born by swallowing eggs, and the eggs were given by mysterious birds, so they took mysterious birds as their ancestors and mysterious birds as their totems. Qi's era is roughly the same as Yao's. Shen Yue in the Southern Dynasties wrote the words "Long for Yao Situ, meritorious service for the people, sealed for business" in the Chronicle of Bamboo Books, which clearly illustrated this point. In the early days of Shang nationality, they often migrated. Both Shangshu and Historical Records say: "If you make an appointment, it must be eight steps." The scope of migration is about today's Henan and Shandong areas, and then gradually developed to northern Hebei. At the end of the Xia Dynasty, Xia Jie had no choice but to face domestic troubles and foreign invasion. At that time, Tang, the leader of merchants, took this opportunity to destroy many tribes of Xia nationality, strengthened his own strength, and finally overthrew Xia dynasty and established Shang dynasty, which lasted for 600 years. Xu's surname in this period was not found in Oracle Bone Inscriptions and other early documents. There is no Xu in Oracle Bone Inscriptions.

The Xu family first appeared in the literature one year after the Zhou Dynasty overthrew the rule and established the Zhou Dynasty. After Zhou Wuwang's death, his son became a young king, assisted by his uncle Zhou Gong. This made the other three sons, Wu Geng, Wang Ji, Shu, Cai Shu, Huo Guan and Cai Ershu, who were still imprisoned in Yindu and Wangji areas, contain Wang Ji of Shang Dynasty, take charge of monitoring, and were seriously dissatisfied. On the one hand, they spread rumors that the Duke of Zhou was "not conducive to obedient children", on the other hand, they encouraged Wu Geng, United Xu, Yan, Xiong, Ying and other eastern tribes to defect. Whether the Xu tribe here belongs to the Shang family is unknown in the literature. However, one thing is clear. Both the son surnamed Xu and the winner surnamed Xu here belong to Dongyi Group. Otherwise, it wouldn't echo Wu Geng and Zhou Wang's son Rufu to fight against the Zhou Dynasty, whose surname is Ji, which belongs to Huaxia Group.

In the face of the rebellion in the eastern region, Duke Zhou and Zhao Gong "fought against each other, but resisted the princes", which coordinated the contradictions between the rulers. Then, they sent troops to the East for three years to quell the rebellion. After the counter-insurgency and drawing lessons from this rebellion, it was decided to strengthen and consolidate the military occupation of the vast eastern region. One of the important measures is to separate the son of the Duke of Zhou from Lu, the tribe of the merchant's son's surname, and distribute the birds to the "six families of Yin people". According to the four-year rule of Zuo Zhuan, the six families of Yin people are "thirty families of Yin father and six surnames".

3. After the Yellow Emperor.

After the Xu family came from the Yellow Emperor, it was recorded in Tongzhi in the Song Dynasty that "the Xu family came from the Yellow Emperor's fourteen surnames", but it was not clearly stated which of the fourteen surnames it came from. "Zuo Zhuan" has also been published for fifteen years: "Chu people attack Xu, and Xu is also a summer." Originated from the Yellow Emperor in China. In some Xu's genealogy, such as Historical Records in Yindong Xu's genealogy, it is recorded: "The Xu family first had the Yellow Emperor and the Nine Emperors Sun Boyi." There is a similar saying in the Xu family tree in Xinghua, "The great cause of the Yellow Emperor is public, the son is expensive, and the word is Bo Yi."

As early as ancient times, there were four tribes living in the vast land of China. That is, the Yanhuang Group in the west and the Central Plains, also known as Huaxia Group; Dongyi Group in the east; Miao people in the south; Baiyue Group on the southeast coast. Xu's ancestor was an important leader of Dongyi Group.

Dongyi nationality is a tribal group with birds as its totem. This is because this area has been a good place for all kinds of birds to inhabit and migratory birds to stay since ancient times. People living here naturally eat birds, take feathers as clothes, take birds as their main source of life everywhere, and finally develop into totem worship of birds. In this regard, we can also see from the original meaning of the word Yi that the interpretation of Shuo Wen Jie Zi by Xu Shen in the Eastern Han Dynasty is: "Yi is arrogant and from the east." It can be seen that barbarians are good at shooting, and it can also be inferred that shooting is the main lifestyle of this group. With the strengthening of totem worship of birds, birds gradually began to be the names and symbols of clans and tribes, and then gradually developed into surnames. For example, the four surnames of Dongyi Group, Yan (Yan), Yan, Zi (Yan, bird) and Feng (phoenix bird) are derived from this.

Shao Hao, who won the surname, was also written as "Shao Hao", "Shao Yi" and "Shaogao" in ancient books, and was known as one of the three emperors and five emperors, also known as "Zhu Xuan", "Bai Di", "Western Emperor", "Jin Shi Tian" and "Poor Sangshi". From the name of Shao Hao, we can also see its relationship with birds. The stork is a kind of raptor. There are many stories about the birth of Shao Hao, which is very legendary. One of the legends is Mother and Daughter Festival, also known as Huang E. A meteor who dreams of getting pregnant at night gives birth to Shao Hao. Shao Hao became the leader of this clan when he grew up, and later became the leader of the whole Dongyi tribal alliance. At first, the mysterious bird, the swallow, was used as the totem of this tribe. Later, when poor Mulberry became the leader of the major league, a phoenix flew in and was overjoyed. Therefore, the phoenix was changed to the clan god and worshipped the phoenix totem. He quickly moved the capital to Qufu and named the tribes under his jurisdiction after birds, which were divided into five tribes: Phoenix, Xuanniao, Zhao Bo, Jade Bird and Danniao. In addition to these five tribes, it is divided into five clans: Zhu's dove, cuckoo's dove, owl's dove, double dove, stork's dove, and magpie's pheasant.

During Shao Hao's reign, he revised the Tai Hao Law, took the bird name as the official name, and set up an industrial festival and an agricultural festival to manage handicrafts and agriculture respectively and develop production. At the same time, he also "calibrated", that is, formulated measurement standards, observed astronomical phenomena, made calendars, invented musical instruments and created music. Under his leadership, Dongyi Group has made great progress. At the same time, it has also established a very close communication relationship with Yanhuang Group. For example, he took in and raised Zhuan Xu, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, and his tribe, and decided that Zhuan Xu would take over as the leader of his Dongyi tribe alliance after his death. Shao Hao reigned for 84 years and lived 100 years. Some people say that he was in office 100 and was buried in Qufu after his death. The mausoleum is located four kilometers east of Qufu City, in the shape of a pyramid. The bottom side is 28 meters long, the top side is 9.4 meters long, and the slope height is 15.2 meters. There are temples on the slope. The whole cemetery covers an area of 16 mu, and consists of buildings such as the palace gate, the main hall, the attached hall and the stone square.

After Shao Hao's death, the Dongyi Tribal Alliance was taken over by Zhuan Xu, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, at the age of 20. Zhuan Xu and Levin are one of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Smart since childhood, it is said that at the age of ten, he became the leader of this tribe and led his clan to move to the location of Dongyi Group. However, why did he lead the clan to move to the poor mulberry area where Dongyi Group was located? There is no way to prove it, but there is no doubt that he won the trust of Shao Hao. Eight years later, Shao Hao died, and Zhuan Xu succeeded to the throne and became the leader of the Dongyi Tribal Alliance. Soon, the ruling center moved back to the Central Plains, which is now Puyang, Henan Province, and many Dongyi tribes followed suit. After Zhuan Xu moved back to the Central Plains, he succeeded his grandfather Huang as the leader of the Yanhuang tribal alliance and the leader of the two major tribal alliances, which greatly promoted the great integration of the Chinese nation. After 78 years in office, Zhuan Xu, who was nearly 100 years old, died. The site of Zhuan Xu Mausoleum is two kilometers west of Sanxiangzhuang, Neihuang County, Henan Province. It is 240 meters long from north to south and 130 meters long from east to west. It has a treasure city, a hall and a gallery. It was built in the Tang Dynasty and rebuilt in the Song Dynasty. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, whenever the Spring and Autumn Period or the Yuan Dynasty changed, the emperor sent envoys to sacrifice. During the reign of Xuan Tong in Qing Dynasty, a tornado covered the cemetery with sand. In recent years, with the movement of sand dunes, some buildings are exposed on the ground.

Xu is a descendant of Xu, who had contacts with Zhuan Xu after Zhuan Xu. In all the Xu genealogies, the blood ancestor of Xu is Ruomu, Ruomu's father is Boyi, Boyi's father is Daye, and Daye's great-grandfather is Zhuan Xu.

According to Records of the Historian and other books, there is a granddaughter named Nvxiu in Continued Biography. Once, a nun swallowed an egg dropped by a swallow (a black bird) and got pregnant, giving birth to a boy named Daye. As an adult, Daye married Hua, a woman from Shaodian School of Huaxia Group, and gave birth. Also known as Yao, Gao, Yao and Tao, the word is strong.

During the period of Yu Shun, Hao Tao served as a taxi in charge of punishment, taught five punishments and five religions, which saved the world from unjust imprisonment and was famous for its fairness and integrity. In agriculture, he invented farm tools such as thunder and hook, which made great contributions to the development of agriculture in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River for various clans and tribes in Dongyi. At the same time, he also participated in Dayu's water control project, worked closely with Dayu and tried his best to establish Dayu's prestige among the people. Although he was not inferior to Dayu in "knowing people" and "reassuring people", when Shun died, he actively recommended and supported Dayu to ascend to the throne and became the leader of the Central Plains Huaxia Tribal Alliance. Dayu was very grateful to him and thought he was the most moral person, so he chose Hao Tao as his successor and granted him the power to handle government affairs. I was going to meditate with him at an appropriate time, but Hao Tao died soon. Dayu was very sad, so he divided the areas of Britain (now yingshan county, Hubei) and Lu 'an (now Lu 'an, Anhui) to his descendants. Today, Gao Tao Tomb is a circular mound eight kilometers east of Lu 'an County, on the north side of Lu 'an-Hefei Highway. The circumference is 97 meters, the top is 6 meters high and the top surface is 4 meters in diameter. There is a tablet in front of the tomb, which was written by Wu Kunxiu, Anhui's envoy to Tongzhi in the eighth year of Qing Dynasty (AD 1869). There is a chestnut tree on the tomb, which looks like an umbrella cover. Fourteen meters east of the mausoleum, there is Hao Tao Temple, which is a quadrangle-style courtyard. Because of Hao Tao's good reputation and great influence at that time, later generations called Lu 'an County Hao Tao for short.

Legend has it that Hao Tao had six sons, the rest were sealed in Britain and six places, and then small kingdoms such as Britain, six places and Shu Qun were successively established. Only the eldest son, also known as Boyi, assisted Shun and Dayu for a long time and made great contributions. He was given a winning surname by Shun, and inherited the orthodox winning surname, that is, he became the remaining winning tribal leader. Since then, his brother has inherited Yan's family and developed to the south. Yan's surname and its successor's surname are regarded as blood ancestors, while Bo Yi's surname and Qin, Xu, Zhao and Huang's surname are regarded as blood ancestors, and their descendants mainly live in southern Shandong or the middle and lower reaches of Huaihe River, or move to the northwest.

Boyi is also called "Bo", "Bo", "Bai" and "Hua Yi" or simply "Yi" because "Bo" originally means "boss". Due to Zuo Shun's meritorious service, he was awarded a fee. Therefore, it is also called Fei Da and Guan Hou. Because Shao Hao's winning family took the phoenix bird as the totem, Boyi naturally took the phoenix bird as the totem after being given the surname of winning, and became the orthodox surname of winning. As can be seen from his name, Yi also wrote a lot about this, but according to the explanation in Li Sao's Note, it is "the alias of Emperor Feng". Boyi is a legendary and outstanding hero in the history of the Chinese nation. Legend has it that Boyi understands bird language and can tame birds and beasts. "Zuo Shun tames birds and beasts, and birds and beasts are tamed." This was very surprising and convincing when productivity was extremely low at that time. Boyi also invented the method of divination at the age of eight. When he was very young, he assisted Shun with his father Hao Tao. "Shun made Zhang Yi make a fire, while Mount Yilie burned it, and all animals fled." Burning trees to drive away animals can quickly open up a large area of flat land, and at the same time, the ashes after burning vegetation are fertilizer, which greatly facilitates the development of clan tribes and farmland reclamation and greatly accelerates the development of social productive forces. In Lu's "Spring and Autumn Annals" and other books, stories such as "Bo Yi makes wells" and "turning benefits into wells" are also mentioned. This shows that China ancient sinking technology was invented by Boyi. The invention of sinking technology greatly expanded the living space of ancient ancestors. Before the invention of sinking technology, ancestors lived near rivers and lakes and were threatened by it every rainy season. After the invention of sinking technology, ancestors could enter the vast plain area relatively far away from rivers and lakes for survival and development. Therefore, for the invention of sinking technology, no matter what words we use today to praise it. Boyi also played a very important role in Dayu's water control. So that after Dayu succeeded in harnessing water, he actually reported to Shun: "If you don't give it, you will make up a lot of money." Shun was very grateful and married a woman named Yao. Later, two sons were born: Da Lian and Ruomu. At the same time, he said to Boyi, "I will give you money to praise the foolish old man, and you will swim with soap, and then you will have a big heir." Shun's words are true. Later, the descendants of Boyi's victorious surname were divided into more than ten surnames, including Xu, Huang, Zhao, Qin and Jiang, all of whom respected him as the blood ancestor.

When Dayu was in office, he planned to cede the position of leader to Hao Tao. After Hao Tao's death, Dayu was ready to abdicate to Boyi, and in his later years he granted Boyi power to help him manage all tribal and clan affairs. He died and passed it on to Boyi. But Boyi, like his father Hao Tao, is weaker than power. After mourning for Dayu for three years, he voluntarily gave the position of leader to Yu's son, Kai, and lived in seclusion in the north of Jishan. Thus, Xia Chao, the first slave owner in the history of China, was established. Because of this behavior, Kay completely abandoned the long-standing tradition of "ruling the world" in clan society and replaced it with "ruling the world at home" in civilized society. For the stability and long-term of the regime, it is necessary to clean up and purge those influential and powerful clan forces and celebrities who adhere to the past traditions, and the prestigious Boyi is naturally not spared. According to "The Warring States Policy" and "The History of the Later Han Dynasty", after Xia Qi ascended the throne, after a period of adjustment, the regime was basically stable and he began to attack Boyi. In the sixth year of Xia Qi, Boyi was killed. It is said that he was over 200 years old. In order to win people's hearts, Boyi was buried with a grand ceremony, and the second son of Boyi was named Ruomu, that is, the areas in northeastern Anhui, southwestern Shandong and northern Susie centered on Sixian County, Anhui Province today. Since then, the context of Xu's surname has become clear. The Xu clan. Branches thus multiply, develop and grow. If it is wood, it will become the Xu's blood ancestor basically recognized by later generations.

4. Originated from ethnic minorities.

In history, ethnic minorities changed their surnames to Xu and joined the Xu family, which has become another source of Xu's surnames today.
