Looking for the roots
There are three main sources of the surname Dai. One is from the surname Zi, a descendant of Wei Ziqi from the Shang Dynasty. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, after Zhou Gongdan put down the "Guan Cai Rebellion", he granted Zi Qi (surname), the concubine brother of the last monarch of the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Zhou, to the old capital of Shang (now south of Shangqiu, Henan Province) and established the Song Dynasty. The 11th monarch of the Song Dynasty, whose name is unknown in history, was posthumously named Dai Gong after his death. Dai Gong's son Song Wu Company was empty. His descendants took the posthumous name "Dai" as their surname, and they became the Dai family in Henan. The second is from the surname Ji. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was Dai State, a vassal state with the surname Ji. Later, it was destroyed by the Song State, and its people took Dai as their surname. Third, the surname was changed from Yin to Dai. After King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, many Yin survivors took the country as their surname (because the capital of the Shang Dynasty was in Yin, it was also called the country of Yin) and called it the Yin family. Later, some changed their surname to Dai. This Dai clan also comes from Henan.
