The origin of Hubei province

Originated from the Xiling family, from the home star of the ancient emperor Shao Hao, it belongs to the name of the ancestor. Xing 'e, also known as Huang 'e, is said to be the mother of the ancient emperor Shao Hao. Her surname is Xiling, and her name is Lei Zu. Shao Hao was a legend in the middle period of patriarchal society, and there were various records in ancient literature. As far as his name is concerned, he is also known as Shao Bian and Shao Gao, and as Zhu Xuan, Jin and poor Sang. Sima Qian, a historian of the Han Dynasty, said in Records of the Five Emperors: "The Yellow Emperor lived in Xuanyuan Mountain and married the daughter of Xiling as Leizu. Lei Zu, the imperial concubine of the Yellow Emperor, gave birth to two sons. Then there is the world: the first is that it is for Qingyang, who lives in the river; ..... "He also explained in Suoyin:" Qingyang, Xiao Xuan is the founder of Shao Hao, after the Yellow Emperor. Huangfu Mi, a historian of the Western Jin Dynasty, wrote in The Emperor's Century: "The name of the emperor is Qingyang, and his surname is Ji Ye. "It is recorded in the history book Shangshu Justice that Jin Tianshi, whose real name is Zhi and the word Qingyang, once said that he had his surname, the son of the Yellow Emperor, his mother called Fu Ri, and King Jinde was the head of the five emperors. In the history books such as The Emperor's Century, Life in the Spring and Autumn Period and Yuan Dynasty, and Notes for Beginners, it is recorded that "Mother said' Fu Ri' and saw a big star floating in the sky, so it was called' Xing' e".

Among the classical books, the book "Notes on the Lost Tales" is even more bizarre, in which it says: "Shao Hao, with King Kinder as his mother, was named Huang E, sometimes a child prodigy, with a unique appearance. He was called the son of the white emperor, the star of Taibai, and went down to mulberry fields to play with the oriole, who gave birth to Shao Hao and was nicknamed poor Sang Zi. " This legend tells that Shao Hao's mother Huang E was once a weaver girl in the sky. When she is tired, she often roams in the Milky Way with a raft. When she came to the vast shop of poor mulberry (now Qufu, Shandong Province), she met a handsome prodigy who claimed to be the son of Bai Di, that is, the essence of Taibai. This handsome boy who incarnates Tai Bai Xing came to poor mulberry and met oriole. They fell in love at first sight and often played games together, so happy that they forgot to go home. After a romantic love, oriole got pregnant and later gave birth to a son named Zhi. In order to commemorate their meeting in poor mulberry, it is also called poor mulberry. Sima Qian did not include Shao Hao among the Five Emperors when compiling Historical Records of the Five Emperors, but he clearly pointed out in Historical Records of the Almanac: "Shao Hao's family was defeated by Zhuan Xu ..." This sentence is quoted from the historical book Guoyu Chuyu, which means that Zhuan Xu was established after Shao Hao.

"Records of Taizu in Yanzhou" records: "Jin, surnamed Zhi, son of Huangdi Xuanzi, whose mother is Leizu ... who feels like a rainbow, was born in this auspicious place of Zhu Hua. The Yellow Emperor lives in the river and the city is in poor mulberry, so it is called poor mulberry, and the country is in Qingyang, also known as Qingyang. With virtue, Jinde is the king of the world, so it is called Jintianjia, and its establishment is also right. Therefore, the bird is an official. " In Zuo Zhuan Zhao Zhuan's Seventeen Years, the legend about the official bird said: "Tan Zi came to the DPRK and the public gave a banquet to entertain him. Asked Yan: "It's a famous bird official, why not?" Tan Zi said: "My ancestors, I know ... my great-great grandfather Shao Hao was very loyal, and the phoenix bird was very suitable, so he was disciplined by the bird and named the birdman." Phoenix bird, calendar is also; Xuanniao's, teacher also; "Scott, teacher to also; Jade bird house, the initiator also; Dan bird home, the company is closed; I wish the dove's family, Stuart also; Gui, Sima also; Pigeon's family is very ordinary; Cool, thoughtful; Stork dove, minister also; Five pigeons, pigeons and people; Five pheasants are five workers. Sharp weapon, and measured, but also foreigners. Nine tigers are nine farmers, loyal and honest, and the people don't prostitute. Since Zhuan Xu, we have been able to learn from afar and from nearby. If you live in civil affairs for a civil affairs teacher, it will not be the same. " According to this record, the Shao Hao period was the most prosperous period of prehistoric bird totem worship, and the bird worship was consistent with the worship of the sun by the Japanese in the East. Japanese admirers in the east believe that there is a three-legged bird above the sun, also known as the divine bird, the sun, the red sun, Wuyang, the three-legged bird, crow, Eugene, Mao Ang and so on. This three-legged bird flies from east to west with its back to the sun. Archaeological data show that Dawenkou culture is a typical representative of Neolithic culture in the lower reaches of the Yellow River in China, and later turned to Longshan culture, which was created in the prosperous period of Shao Hao ethnic groups including Zhuan Xu and Di Ku. After the Yellow Emperor competed for the Central Plains, the main activities of the Huangdi clan moved to the Central Plains, and Shao Hao, the son of the Yellow Emperor, presided over the once capital of this big family in the East. According to the historical book Historical Records of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, "Zhuan Xu was born for ten years, assisted Shao Hao, and acceded to the throne at the age of twenty", and in the historical book "Shan Hai Jing Huang Da East longitude", it is also said: "Beyond the East China Sea, there is a big valley, the country of Shao Hao, where Shao Hao's brother Zhuan Xu is, and abandoned his piano." Hao Yixing noted: "This sentence was said by Shao Hao. He raised the emperor here and used the harp as a teasing tool, but left it here ... Shao Hao is Zhuan Xu's father, Zhuan Xu is his son, and the father of the world is in this country. The son of Judas accompanies him, taking care of his young children as soon as possible, entertaining him with the harp and supporting him. This matter is fair and there is no difference. " In addition, it is recorded in Zhengxue, a historical book, that "Zhuan Xu ascended the throne at the twentieth, taking the government as an official, and taking water as a history", and in Lv Chunqiu, it is recorded that "Emperor Zhuan Xu took water as his emperor and was poor". The legend makes sense.

According to Five Emperors Historical Records, Zhuan Xu is the grandson of the Yellow Emperor and the son of Changyi, and Shao Hao should be Jolie's uncle. According to Records of the Five Emperors, Di Ku Gao Xin is the grandson of Xiao Xuan, which shows the inheritance relationship from Huangdi to Shao Hao to Zhuan Xu to Di Ku. In the myths and legends of the historical book Shan Hai Jing, the descendants of Shao Hao are recorded. In addition to proposing Zhuan Xu as a Confucian, there are three others in turn: ① In Shan Hai Jing, a man was born face to face, and one said that he was his son Wei and ate millet. (2) The Classic of Mountains and Seas Huang Da Nan Jing describes a person: "There was a Yuan who was born with double felling, and the double felling fell down Yuan. There is water in all directions. This is called Tan Jun. " (3) A person is described in Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Jing: "Shao Hao was born like a bow and arrow." In addition, there are other myths that Ju Mang, Ru Shou and Qiong Qi are all sons of Shao Hao. During Shao Hao's reign, Tai Hao Law was revised, and an industrial and agricultural festival ambassador was established to manage workshops and agricultural production respectively. Actively measure, observe astronomical phenomena, determine calendars, invent musical instruments, etc. Shao Hao, in particular, pushed the patriarchal clan society into a prosperous era and completely replaced the matriarchal clan society. During the Shao Hao period, with the development and prosperity of patriarchal society, a large number of oriental worshippers migrated to all parts of the Central Plains, which promoted the vigorous development of Longshan culture in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and laid the foundation of Chinese civilization. According to legend, Shao Hao reigned for 84 years at the age of 100, and was buried in Yunyang (now Qufu, Shandong). Today, Qufu still has a more complete Shao Hao Mausoleum, which is made of square stones and is called the Pyramid of China. Shao Hao was honored as the "ancestor of the gods" by the descendants of the Chinese people for generations.

Such a great ancestor of mankind, his mother Xing E contributed greatly. Among the descendants of ancient emperors, there were people who took grandmother's name as their surname. "Huang" was taboo, but "E" was regarded as one of the earliest surnames. It originated from Yin Qi, the daughter of the ancient Yao emperor, and belongs to the belief of historical events. According to the historical book Historical Records, "I married Yao's daughter."

According to legend, Hehe is Yao's two daughters, both of whom are married to Yu Shun. Shun Di died in the wilderness of Cangwu after his patrol. Both of them went south and died in Hunan. The world entrusts them, and some people take their names as surnames, which are called E Huang's and female English's. Later, it was simplified to single surname E and Shi Ying. Originated from myth, from the wife Chang 'e in ancient times, belonging to the belief in historical events. According to the historical book "The History of the Later Han Dynasty", "Chang 'e stole the elixir, ran to the moon and became a toad. "Chang 'e, whose real name is Heng E, is a character in myths and legends. In the Western Han Dynasty, it was renamed Chang 'e in order to avoid the taboo of China literature emperor Liu Heng. The Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon is a folk myth with a long history. However, there are too many versions of the legend about how and why Chang 'e flew to the moon, but in general, both Yi and Chang 'e came from the era of Emperor Yao. According to the myth, when Yao was born, there were ten suns hanging in the sky at the same time, which scorched the land and dried the crops. People were so hot that they could not breathe and fell unconscious on the ground. Due to the hot weather, some strange birds and animals also ran out from the dry rivers and lakes and the fiery forests, causing harm to people everywhere. The human disaster shocked the heaven, and the Emperor Chang Jun ordered the archers to descend to help Yao Di relieve the people's suffering. Yi came to the world with a red bow and a bag of white arrows given to him by Emperor Tiandi and his beautiful wife Chang 'e. After that, Yi immediately started shooting at the sun. He took the red bow from his shoulder, took out the white arrows and shot them at his arrogant grandson one by one. In an instant, nine out of ten suns were shot. It was only because Emperor Yao thought that leaving a grandson was useful to the people that Yi was prevented from continuing shooting. This is the famous story of "shooting for nine days". Yi's great achievements became a great hero in the world, praised and admired by the people of Kyushu, but envied by other gods. They went to the Heaven Emperor to slander him, so that the Heaven Emperor finally alienated Yi, and finally sentenced him to the world forever. After being wronged, Yi and his wife Chang 'e had to live in seclusion and hunt for a living. According to folklore, Yi came to Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and seek Taoism, and happened to meet the passing Queen Mother of the West, and asked her for a pack of elixir of life. After taking this medicine, he can ascend to heaven immediately. However, Yi could not bear to part with his wife Chang 'e, so she gave the fairy medicine to Chang 'e for collection. Chang 'e hid the medicine in the dresser's treasure chest, but it was seen by Yi's apprentice Meng Peng. A few days later, Yi went out hunting with his entourage, with ulterior motives, and pretended to be ill and stayed. Shortly after Yi led the crowd away, he broke into the back room with a sword in his hand and threatened Chang 'e to hand over the elixir. Chang' e was ordered to make a decisive decision, turned around and opened the treasure box, took out the elixir of life and swallowed it in one gulp. As soon as Chang 'e swallowed the medicine, she suddenly floated off the ground, rushed out of the window and flew into the sky. Because Chang 'e was worried about her husband, she flew to the nearest moon.

Therefore, according to the records in Huai Nan Zi, Yi sympathized with his wife who was exiled to the world because of his accomplice, so he went to the Queen Mother of the West and asked for two elixirs for immortality, so that the husband and wife could live in harmony forever. However, Chang 'e can't get used to the hard life. Yi stole two pills that belonged to them when she was not at home, and she ran to the moon involuntarily.

According to Tian Wen, Hou Yi was unfaithful to Chang 'e and had an affair with Hebo's wife, which caused Chang 'e's great dissatisfaction. In a rage, Chang 'e swallowed two pills that belonged to her and flew to the moon involuntarily. No matter how Chang 'e rose to the moon, after the moon came out, WU GANG, who was punished by God for cutting laurel trees on the moon, cut a twig and built the Guanghan Palace for her, and found a small white rabbit to accompany her. However, facing the cold and desolate moon, the lonely Chang 'e soon regretted it. She has been thinking about her husband and the warmth of the world, but she can never return to the world to meet her husband. After hearing the news that the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon became an immortal, people on earth set up an incense table under the moon and prayed for good luck and peace to Chang 'e. Since then, the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival in Yue Bai has spread among the people. People commemorate Chang 'e, and some people take her name as their surname, which later evolved into Chang 'e's and Chang 'e's.

note:

It was Yi who shot for nine days, not Yi in Xia Dynasty. In order to distinguish the two Yi people call Xia Yi. Therefore, don't call the god who shoots the sun "Hou Yi". Originated from myth, it comes from the family of ancient Hercules Kwae, and belongs to the name of the ancestor. This branch of E family comes from "Yugong Yishan". The classic Liezi Tang Wen recorded: "Taihang Mountain and Wuwangshan Mountain are 700 miles away, and Wan Ren is high. Ben is in the south of Jizhou and the north of Heyang. The fool in Beishan is 90 years old and lives near the mountain. Punish the traffic jam in the north of the mountain, go in and out of the room, and say,' I'll try my best to cross southern Henan and get to Hanyin, okay?' Vague promises. The wife offered doubts:' With your strength, you must not damage the mountain of the king of Taihang County, such as the royal family of Taihang. And how to place earthwork? We said,' At the end of the Bohai Sea, the soil is hidden in the north.' Then lead the children and grandchildren to bear the burden of three husbands, detain stones and plow soil, and transport them to the end of Bohai Sea. Shi Jing, my neighbor's widow, had a man, so she began to help him. Cold and summer are easy to celebrate, and the beginning is the opposite. Hequ smiled and stopped:' Sorry, you don't like it. With the strength of the remaining years, not a hair on the mountain can be destroyed. What are things like dirt and stones? "The foolish old man in Beishan said,' Your heart is solid but not broken. You were never a widow or a weak son. Although I am dead, I have a son; Children have grandchildren, and grandchildren have children; A son has a son and a son has a grandson. Children and grandchildren are infinite. If the mountains don't increase, why bother and be uneven? "Hequ died of mistakes. The snake-drying god heard this and was afraid, so he told the emperor. The emperor felt very sincere and ordered Kua's two sons to fetch two mountains, one in the east and the other in the south. Since then, the south of Hebei and the yin of Han have never been broken. "

This story is the famous "Yugong Mountain". According to legend, after Kuafu's two sons helped Gong Yu remove the two mountains of Taihang and Wuwang, the Emperor of Heaven told them, "Look, the people are suffering from drought, and the land in the east is fertile, but the food is not abundant. I want you two to keep your feet on the ground again and plow all the land so that people can plant value. " The two men dared not disobey the order and said, "Not long ago, Xian Niu went down to earth privately and lost his front teeth. Now, the injury has not healed. How can we farm without cows? " The Emperor of Heaven said, "I only send two horses for your disposal." So Kuafu's two sons listened to the decree, put on their cool hats and drove away with two horses. When the two brothers arrived in the land of Dongyue (today's Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces), they chose a highland to give Shenma a a nose, tied a cow rope, put on a plow and plowed it. When they are hungry, they put fried rice in their mouths. When they are thirsty, they take a sip of water from the ground. When you are sleepy, you doze off at something. A few days later, they reclaimed most of the land in East Vietnam. Just as the two brothers were scrambling to plow the land in Zhoushan, the Dragon King of the East China Sea stopped the horse's head angrily with a group of followers and said, "How did you plow into my realm?" One leng, the two brothers took off their cool hats and put them on the ground. They bowed their hands to the Sea Dragon King and said, "Old Dragon King, we came here to farm on the orders of the Heaven Emperor. All we know is to plow all this land. Besides, you said this is your field. I wonder what evidence you have? " This ..... "The dragon king was embarrassed at the moment. It turned out that the Dragon King had long wanted to expand the waters, but he couldn't wait to learn that the two brothers were going to farm here. The two brothers asked him for documents, but he couldn't get them out at all, so he had to face down and drink, "I'm the Dragon King, how can I blame you?" "Stop it!" The two brothers said, "If you don't have the land certificate issued by the government, we can't pay the bill in front of the Jade Emperor. Let's plow! " The dragon king was in a hurry and shouted, "Don't plow!" These two brothers are stubborn. Seeing that the Dragon King was unreasonable, they stamped their feet and said, "Be sure to plow!" Then pick up the plow, shout at the horse and move. The dragon king was furious and waved his sleeves. In an instant, the mountains shook, chunks of land collapsed and the East China Sea was choppy. When the two brothers saw something bad, they quickly jumped into the clouds, and the two cool hats left in the ground in a hurry became two isolated islands-later called damao mountain Island and Xiaomaoshan Island; Two horses that had no time to pull to the sky were washed upside down by the flood, which is now Yangdao; The horse's front hoof, raised high, became a village along the pavilion (front hoof); The two horseheads above the water have become inner and outer islands of gods; The yoke that fell off the horse sank deeply into the current yoke port; The highland that used to wear a nose and a rope has become a nose-piercing island today; Even a few white ducks that had just turned over the ground and ate earthworms with their necks down didn't have time to escape and were submerged by the sea. Until now, when the tide is low, there are still a few white ducks with high fins. Such a collapse is irrelevant to the gods, but it hurts the people. I don't know how many people were involved in the bottom of the sea and lost their lives. It is said that only Ge Xiaozi and his mother escaped.

Seeing this tragic scene on earth, Kuafu's two sons were angry and hate, and they also forgot to plow. They broke into a worse paradise and complained to the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor summoned the Dragon King and asked, "What are your plans?" The dragon king replied, "This is not because I intentionally harm the people, but because the orientals are not upright and the atmosphere is corrupt. Last year, on the Flat Peach Festival, my minister wrote to Viva, demanding severe punishment from the Holy Family. At that time, the imperial edict told me to play it by ear, and Lu Chunyang was sent down to visit. Now, the time has come, I just drowned, I hope the Holy Father will have mercy. " Hearing this, the Jade Emperor also remembered that there was such a thing. Looking back, he saw that Kuodai's two sons were angry, and he told the Dragon King, "In that case, that's it." However, after you return to the East China Sea, you should do two things: First, raise more aquatic animals for the people to eat and make amends for the harm you have caused to many creatures; The other is that the water surface in different places should rise and fall like plowed land, so as to inherit the unfinished business of Kuafu's second son. Can you do it? ""well done! " The dragon king went over and agreed. It is said that from then on, the aquarium can't catch up with it, and the waves on the sea surface are like fields that have just been plowed, so they stay. The land cultivated by the two brothers has become today's Ningshao Plain, which is rich in the world.

Among the descendants of the Kwai 'e family, there are those who take their ancestors' names as surnames, which are called the Kwai 'e family. Later, it was simplified to a single name Kwa family and Kwa family. Later, they were determined to catch up with the sun, but after catching up with the sun, they were too hot to stand, so they drank all the water of the Yellow River and Weihe River, and Kuafu, who was still dying of thirst, was their offspring. Nong Yu, the daughter of Qin Mugong, is a surname with the title of ancestor. Qin E is the woman who won the Nong Yu in Qin State. Legend has it that she is a good daughter, loves to blow, and later married a fairy. Shaw History in the Spring and Autumn Period said. Liu Xiang, a scholar in the Han Dynasty, recorded in Biography of Shaw History: "Xiao Shishan played the flute and made Feng Ming. Qin Mugong used his daughter Nong Yu's wife as a phoenix tower, taught Nong Yu to play the flute, and felt the phoenix gathering. Nong Yu took Phoenix and Shaw History Lapras, and the couple followed the fairy. "

In order to commemorate Qin E, later generations took his title as their surname, called E's, and took Xianyang County as their hope. Originated from Wan surname, from the ancient country at the end of Shang Dynasty and the beginning of Zhou Dynasty, named after ancestors. Wan surname, a branch of Si surname, is the same clan as Dayu and has a tribal country with Wan surname. In the 2nd/kloc-0th century BC, Xiangtu, the grandson of Shang tribe in Xia Dynasty (the first ancestor of Shang Tang), led the Shang tribe to settle at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, formed a clan kingdom and settled in the city. Guo Xiang was called Guo Xiang in ancient times, and its capital was in Xiangyi (now Huaibei, Anhui). The main mountain of this city is called Xiangshan. At that time, there was an ancient country in ancient Xuzhou (now Linyi, Shandong Province), which was called Wan Guo in ancient times. The first gentleman was named Wan E, and the ancient Wan Guo married the ancient Xiang Guo. The ancient Xiang Kingdom spread to Shang Tang, disappeared and established the Shang Dynasty. The ancient kingdom of Wan was named Hou, and the ancient kingdom of Mu Hou was established. After Shang Dynasty, it was destroyed by Zhou Wuwang. After the Shang Dynasty was destroyed by Zhou Wuwang, a small country named Tan Guo was established in Gugu Muhou, which was later annexed by Ju State.

After the demise of the Shang Dynasty, one of the descendants of Wan 'e took the name of the ancestor as the surname, and the world called E's surname, which is a very old surname, hoping to come out of Langya County. Originated from legend, Han E, a Korean singer in the Warring States Period, was named after historical events. According to the history book "Natural History", "The spirit of Korea and Hubei, porridge songs and fake food, once gone, the lingering sound lingered for three days."

During the Warring States Period, Han E, a Korean geisha, wanted to go to Qi in the East, but she didn't want to be penniless and lead a hard life. In order to tide over this difficulty, she sang at the gate of Yong in the west of the capital city of Qi (now Linzi, Zibo, Shandong) in exchange for food. Han E's singing is mellow and tactful, and her expression is beautiful and moving, so that after she left Yong Men, the wonderful lingering sound seemed to linger between the pillars of the city gate for three days, which touched countless passers-by. People who have heard Han E sing are immersed in her songs, as if they have never left. People don't know her last name, only know that she is Korean, so they call her "Han E". Legend has it that Han E was so sad that he couldn't help crying. Her cry spread widely, which moved men, women and children within a mile of Fiona Fang, Fiona Fang. Everyone was in tears and heartbroken, and everyone was too sad to eat for three days. After Han E left, people hurried to chase her separately, invited her back and sang a song for everyone. At everyone's request, Han E sang a song that drew cheers and applause from the old people and children within a mile of Fiona Fang. Everyone was immersed in joy and swept away many sorrows in the past. In order to thank Han E for her moving singing, everyone gave Han E many possessions and gifts, which made her return home with a full load. This incident is recorded in the ancient book Liezi Tang Wen, and this is the origin of the eternal idiom "reverberation around the beam for three days".

In order to commemorate this North Korean moth, someone in Qi named E 'e after her title and looked out of Langya County. Filial piety in the Eastern Han Dynasty originated from Ji's surname and belonged to spiritual belief. Cao E, 130- 143, is from Caojiabao, Zaohu Town, Shangyu, Shaoxing, Zhejiang. His father, Cao Xu, was a local wizard in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is said that he can "sing and dance with joy." In the second year of Han Liu An (A.D. 143), in April of the lunar calendar 18, he sailed in Wujun, the god of welcoming tides along the river, "being flooded, his body was not allowed. At that time, Cao E was only fourteen years old, crying day and night along the river to find his father. 17 days later, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, she also jumped into the river and floated out of the river with her father's body in her arms three days later. Later, in order to commemorate Cao E's filial piety, Cao E Temple was built where Cao E threw himself into the river. The village where she lived was renamed Cao E Town, and the place where Cao E died was named Cao E River.

In the first year of Emperor Liu (A.D. 15 1), Shangyu County was ordered to be reburied next to Jiangnan Road, and his disciple Han Danchun was ordered to make a funeral speech, and a stone tablet was carved to show filial piety (according to legend, the tablet was written by Wang Yi of Changsha in Jin Dynasty). Later, Cai Yong, the left corps commander, came here. It's already midnight. He touched his text and read it. Later, he wrote eight words on the back of the tombstone: "The grandson of the yellow silk young woman." Cao E Yuan was founded in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. Cao E's tomb is in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. Rebuilt and opened to the public in 1985, it is known as "the first temple in the south of the Yangtze River". The famous Cao E tablet in the Eastern Han Dynasty has long been destroyed. Today is the eighth year of Yuan You in Song Dynasty (A.D. 1093), and the great calligrapher Cai Bian copied and reprinted this book. At that time, people respected filial piety. Some children born on the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month took Cao E's name as their surname and were called E's. The Hubei family in Zhuji, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, is said to have its ancestral surname, originally Cao, which has been passed down for more than 90 generations.

note:

Nowadays, many people think that Hubei originated from Eqing in the Northern Wei Dynasty, which is incorrect. E-feeling is Wei Shou's slip of the pen, which should be "E-feeling". Mo Qing, the general of Pingdong in the Northern Wei Dynasty, is a generation of northern Qiang people, who originated from the insects of the ancient Qiang people in Longxi. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, there was only one ethnic group named "Moth" in the northwest of China, and there was no ethnic group or individual named "E".

In addition, among the numerous legends of the E family, only the sixth, seventh and eighth origins have been proved, and others need further textual research.
