The surname Xiè has three origins:
1. It comes from the surname Ji, which is named after the place where food is collected. In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, Tang Shuyu, the son of King Wu of Zhou Dynasty, had his son Liang who was granted the title of Jie Yi. Liang lived and fed in Jie, so he was called Liangjie. His descendants took Liangjie's foraging place as their surname and became the Jie family.
2. Derived from ancient place names. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty was divided into Dajie and Xiaojie. People living in these two places later took Jie as their surname.
3. It comes from changing the compound surname to a single surname. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Northern Wei Dynasty had the compound surname Jiepi, which was later changed to the single surname Jie.
The ancestor of the surname: Xie Liang. According to genealogy records such as "Tonggu Genealogy of Ten Thousand Surnames", "Tongzhi·Clan Brief", etc., the Xie family comes from the surname Ji and has a long history, which can be traced back to the ancestor of the Chinese nation, Xuanyuan Huangdi. Huangdi grew up in Jishui (now Qishui, Qishan County, Shaanxi Province) and was born in Xuanyuanzhiqiu (now Zhengzhou, Henan Province), so his surname was Ji. Huangdi had twenty-five sons, one of whom was named Xuanxiao and was born to his concubine Leizu. Xuan Xiao moved to Shouqiu (now Qufu, Shandong Province), where he gave birth to Chong Qiaoji, who gave birth to Emperor Ku. The emperor's concubine Jiang Nuyuan gave birth to a son and abandoned it. She was called Hou Ji and founded the Zhou tribe. Hou Ji gave birth to Bu, Bu gave birth to Ju, and Ju gave birth to Gong Liu. Gong Liu moved to Bin (now Quyi, Shaanxi Province). Gongliu is born on a festival, and on a festival he is the emperor's servant, and on the festival he is the emperor's servant, and the emperor's servant is the father of Chafu, and the servant of the emperor is the father of the ruined beast, and the ruined beast is the father of the public. The father-in-law moved to Zhouyuan (now Qishan, Shaanxi Province). Gu Gong's father gave birth to three sons, Tai Bo, Zhong Yong and Ji Li. Among them, Ji Li gave birth to a son, Ji Chang, who was called King Wen. Prince Wen, Ji Fa, destroyed King Zhou of Shang in 1066 BC and established the Zhou Dynasty. He was called King Wu. King Wu passed it on to Wang Ji Chan. King Cheng granted his younger brother Shu Yu the title of Marquis of Tang in the Tang Dynasty (today's Quwo, Shanxi Province). Zi Xiefu moved the capital to Jinyi (today's Taiyuan, Shanxi Province) and changed the country's name to Jin. Another son, Ziliang, was granted the title of Jieyi (now Jiecheng, southwest of Linjin County, Shanxi Province) and was named Jieliang, becoming the ancestor of the Jie family.
