The origin of "Guan"
There are three main origins of the surname Guan. One is derived from the Guanlong clan, a descendant of Emperor Zhuanxu. Emperor Zhuanxu was the grandson of Huangdi. He was a saint and one of the Five Emperors. During the reign of Emperor Shun, Dong's father, a descendant of Zhuanxu, raised dragons for Shun and was given the title of Huanlong. In ancient times, the two characters "Guan" and "Guan" were interchangeable, so the name "Guanlong" was also written as "Guanlong". By the end of the Xia Dynasty, during the reign of Xia Jie, he was extravagant and ignored the affairs of the state. The doctor Guan Longfeng tried hard to persuade him, but was killed instead. Later, Guan Longfeng's descendants simplified the surname to Guan, and respected Guan Longfeng as the ancestor of the Guan surname. The activities of the Xia people are mainly in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River such as Henan and Shanxi. The capital of the Xia Dynasty was once located in Anyi, which is now north of Xia County, Shanxi Province. It is said that Guan Longfeng, the ancestor of the Guan family, was a native of Anyi at that time. In other words, the birthplace of the Guan family is here. The second is the descendants of Guan Yinxi in the Spring and Autumn Period, who took their official surname. Guan Yin is the customs officer who guards the pass. During the Spring and Autumn Period, when Laozi saw the decline of the Zhou royal family, he wanted to leave Zhou and travel westward. When he arrived at Hangu Pass, Guan Yinxi, who was responsible for guarding Hangu Pass, admired Laozi's knowledge and repeatedly asked Laozi to write books for him. Lao Tzu wrote the "Tao Te Ching" and elaborated on his philosophical thoughts. Legend has it that Xi spread this book to the world and followed Laozi when he became an immortal. Xi's descendants took his official name and called him Guan. It is said that this Zhiguan family mainly breeds at the junction of Shandong and Jiangsu. Third, some ethnic minorities changed their surname to Guan. For example, in the Qing Dynasty, the descendants of the Manchu surnames Guarjia and Uzala changed their surnames to Guan. For example, during the Jiaqing period, the commander-in-chief of Yansui Town, Guan Teng, was the Guarjia clan with a yellow flag. During the reign of Daoguang and Xianfeng, the deputy capital of Heilongjiang, Guanbao, was the Uzala clan of Zhenghuang Banner.

Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty made a sneak attack on Jingzhou, and Guan Yu was attacked from both sides, and died heroically. He was posthumously named Zhuang Miao and was named King Wu'an. In the Ming Dynasty, he was posthumously named "The Loyal and Righteous Emperor who protects the country and protects the country". Therefore, the Guan family is also called "Zhongyi Hall". In the third year of the Republic of China, he and Yue Fei were ordered to worship together in the Wu Temple and were called "Martial Saints" (Confucius was a literary saint).
