Ouyang (not suōy not y? Ng) The origin of surnames is very simple, and there is only one source:
It originated from Yu's family and was named after the fief that Chu gave to the descendants of Yue's giant sword at the end of the Warring States Period.
Huangdi, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, grew up in Jishui and took water as his surname.
Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor had four concubines and gave birth to twenty-five sons. Lei Zu, a native of Xiling, Yuan Fei who invented sericulture, had a son named Changyi. Changyi's son was named Zhuan Xu, and Dayu, who later founded the Xia Dynasty, was Zhuan Xu's grandson.
At that time, the flood was terrible, and Emperor Yao asked Zhuan Xu's son to save the water. Gun tried to block the water, but failed, and Yao put him to death. Shun recommended Da Yu, Gun's son, to Yao for water control, when Da Yu was only twenty years old.
Dayu led the army of water control, and used the method of dredging to introduce floods into rivers and dig channels. He was loyal to the king, worked hard for 32 years, and finally cured Hong Bing. The story that he went home for water treatment three times has become a historical story.
After the death of Emperor Yao, Shun inherited the throne. Shun Di was old, and Dayu took over the political power. After Dayu ascended the throne, he established his capital in Anyi (now Anyang, Henan), which was called Xia in history. After his death, he was buried in Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang).
Dayu is the ancestor of Ouyang family, and his son Xia Qi formally established the Xia Dynasty. When the number reached Xianshaokang, the descendants of Feng Zhi had no scruples in Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang), and the earliest ancient Yue State was established. Since then, this descendant of Yu Xia has developed and multiplied in the local area, and passed through several dynasties in Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, until it reached the throne.
Until the Spring and Autumn Period, when the throne of Yue was passed to Yun, there was a son named Ju Jian, who was called King Yue in history. Soon, the State of Yue was wiped out by the State of Wu. 19 years later, Yan Jujian returned to China to annex neighboring Wu, and then participated in the hegemony of the Central Plains, becoming the last hegemon in the Spring and Autumn History.
The State of Yue spread to Sun Cong, the seventh King of Yue, and it was borderless. The State of Yue began to decline and was finally destroyed by the State of Chu.
Some of the aristocrats in the state of Yue lived in seclusion and some were rewarded by the State of Chu. Among them, the second son, named Qu Ti, was enfeoffed to the south of Ouyu Mountain in Wucheng (now Huzhou, Zhejiang Province), and was named Ouyu Hou Ting. Because the ancients used to call Shannan Yang, later generations also called Ouyang Xiu. Over time, descendants without boundaries took the names of closing mountains and titles as surnames, forming four surnames: Euclid, Euclid, Ouyang and Ouyang. Ouyang's family is of the same ancestry as Euclid, Euclid and Shi, and they are all named after fiefs or marquis.
According to the historical document "Ningyuan County Records", at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, farmers all over the country rose up against the corrupt government of the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, there was an insurgent army dominated by Ouyang family. In the first year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1368), Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of Ming Dynasty, tried to recruit Ouyang's army. When Ouyang's army refused to surrender, Ming Taizu was furious and imperial edicts destroyed Ouyang's family. Ouyang family members were forced to flee and changed their names to Yang to avoid disaster.
It was not until the Ming Dynasty (1506 ~ 152 1 year) and the third year of the Ming Dynasty (1508) that famous officials invented the strategy of paving the ground (the official went to the right deputy, and the governor should be in the sky (now Nanjing, Jiangsu).
Everyone in Ouyang's family respects Yu Xia and Siwujiang as their ancestors.
