The origin of "Qiao"
There are three sources of the surname Qiao: 1. It comes from the surname Ji, which was changed from the surname Qiao; It is a surname named after a mountain. According to "Yuanhe Surnames Compilation" and "Wanxing Genealogy", it is said that Huangdi, the ancestor of all ethnic groups in the Central Plains, was buried in Qiaoshan (in the north of today's Huangling County, Shaanxi Province) after his death. Those who guarded the mausoleum and watched the mountains at Qiaoshan, so these people took Shan as their surname and were called the Qiao family. As for the change of the Qiao family to the Qiao family, it was during the Wei Dynasty in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. According to the records of "New Hundred Family Surnames" compiled by Sang Jun, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Qiaoqin, the 6th generation of Taiwei Qiaoxuan, served as the internal historian of Pingyuan in the Northern Wei Dynasty. At the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowu of Wei could not bear the dictatorship and oppression of Prime Minister Gao Huan and escaped. , Qiao Qin defected to the Western Wei Dynasty established by Yuwentai with Emperor Xiaowu. One day, Yu Wentai had a whim and asked Qiao Qin to remove the wooden edge of the bridge and turn it into Qiao, taking the lofty meaning of "Qiao". Qiao Qin did not dare to disobey, so he changed Qiao's name to Qiao and passed it down from generation to generation. This is the origin of the surname Qiao in Shaanxi. It is known as Qiao's authentic brand in history. 2 comes from the noble surname of Xiongnu. According to historical records, there were four noble surnames of Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty - Lan, Qiao, Huyan and Xupu, including the Qiao family, which later merged with the Qiao family of the Han nationality. 3 comes from after Xianbei. According to relevant historical records, Xianbei people with the surname Qiao also appeared during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and their descendants have continued this surname.
Migration distribution
The surname Qiao originated from Shaanxi Province, where the Yellow Emperor was buried. During the Western Han Dynasty, Qiao Xuanguan, a native of Suiyang, went to Taiwei. His sixth generation, Sun Qiaoqin, followed Emperor Xiaowu to Guanzhong in the late Northern Wei Dynasty and lived in the same state. In addition, according to the Records of the Former Dynasty, the noble surname of the Xiongnu was Qiao, who was nomadic in Yan, Qin, Zhao and other places during the Warring States Period. During the same period, there was Qiao Bi in the Lu State; in the Western Han Dynasty, there was Qiao Ren, who was from Liang. He and Yang Rong received the "Li" from Dai Sheng. Qiao Ren wrote 69 chapters in "Book of Rites" and was Dahonglu when he became emperor; in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was Qiao Ren. Qiao Mao, the prefect of Guandong County, was Qiao Xuan's fifth-generation grandson. He served as the prefect of Guangling, and his son Qiao Su was the prefect of Donglai. These show that before the Song Dynasty, the Qiao family was already distributed in today's Shaanxi, Hunan, Jiangsu, and Shanxi. There are not many historical materials about the changes of the Qiao surname. Judging from the sporadic historical materials, the Qiao family was mainly distributed in present-day Shaanxi, Hunan, Shaanxi, Jiangxi and other provinces before the Song Dynasty. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, some moved to Henan, Zhejiang, and Yunnan. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, some moved to present-day Jiangxi, Shandong, Shanghai, and Hubei. Until modern times, there are still Qiao settlements in some places in the Northeast. According to research results from the Institute of Genetics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the surname Qiao is the 96th most common surname in China today.
