The surname Yu (Y? Fish) has two origins: 1. It comes from the surname Zi, who is a descendant of Shang Tang. Take the ancestral name as the surname. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the younger brother of Duke Xianggang of the Song Dynasty was named Ziyu. Song Xianggong wanted to be the overlord of the Central Plains and made an appointment with Qi, Chu and other countries to form an alliance in Yu. Before leaving, Ziyu said: "The Chu people are not trustworthy, so we should bring troops as guards." ? Song Xianggong thought that he had made an agreement that no one would bring troops and did not listen to the advice. As a result, he was detained by the Chu people at the meeting. Ziyu fled back to the Song Dynasty, organized the Song people to resist, and forced the King of Chu to release Duke Xiang. Soon after, Song and Chu were fighting again at Hongshui. Ziyu persuaded Duke Xiang to attack while the Chu army was halfway across the river. Duke Xiang thought this was immoral and disagreed. When the Chu army was ready, the weak Song army was defeated. After the war, Ziyu criticized Duke Xiang and said: When fighting a war, you should do everything you can to defeat the enemy. If you want to be benevolent and righteous in battle, you have no choice but to surrender. ?Ziyu's descendants have a branch that takes their grandfather's name as their surname and calls it the surname Yu. 2. From the change of his surname. During the Tang Dynasty, Shang Kegu, the general of the Xianbei people, worshiped Yu Chaoen, the supervisor of the Tang Dynasty, as his adoptive father and changed his name to Yu Zhide. According to legend, his descendants also had the surname Yu, and they were named Yu.

The surname Yu is now rare, but when it comes to the famous female Taoist priest and poet Yu Xuanji in the Tang Dynasty, many people may know her. The surname Yu originated from the surname Zi, and its ancestor was Ziyu, the younger brother of Xianggong of the Song Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period. Ziyu was resourceful and resourceful, and often made suggestions for Song Xianggong, but Song Xianggong was old-fashioned and often suffered defeats. During the Battle of Hongshui between Song and Chu, Ziyu persuaded Duke Xiang to attack the enemy while the Chu army was crossing the river, but Duke Xiang refused. After the Chu army crossed the Hongshui, Ziyu persuaded Duke Xiang to take advantage of the Chu army's formation and lack of foothold. When the situation was stable, the enemy was driven back, but Duke Xiang still refused to follow. Duke Xiang thought that fighting according to Ziyu's words was too unkind to the enemy. It is conceivable that the Song army was completely defeated in the end. As a result, Duke Xiang became the laughing stock of the people in the country, but the Zyu debate became famous in history. From then on, future generations named him the Yu family for the glory of their family.
