The origin of "Shou"
The surname Shou (Sh?u Shou) has two origins: 1. Originated from During the Spring and Autumn Period, it came from the surname Ji. The great-grandson of Prince Zhong Yong of Zhou Tai was named Zhou Zhang and lived in Wu. After King Wu of Zhou conquered Shang, he sealed the land and established the State of Wu, which became a vassal of the Zhou Dynasty. When Sun Shou Meng, the fourteenth generation of Zhou Zhang, ruled Wu, the country became powerful and he was called the King of Wu. He was a vassal state and fought against other countries. Therefore, the state of Wu began with Shou Meng in the Spring and Autumn Period. Some of the descendants of Shoumeng's concubines took their ancestor's name as their surname, forming the surname Shou. 2. After Peng Zu. According to "History of the Road", there is the Shou family after Pengzu. According to legend, in ancient times, there was a man named Peng Zu who was a famous longevity star and lived for more than 800 years. In order to commemorate him, some of his descendants took the character longevity as their surname, thus forming another longevity surname. A prominent family with the surname Shou lived in Jingzhao (now Andong, the governor of Shaanxi Province).

Shou Meng. Shou is a rare surname. According to research in the book "Customs", he is a descendant of King Shoumeng of Wu. King Shoumeng of Wu was an outstanding ancestor of the Wu State who once dominated the princes in the late Spring and Autumn Period.

Migration distribution
The surname Shou is not among the top 100 surnames in both mainland China and Taiwan. The surname Shou comes from the surname Ji. The State of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period was very weak at first. Later, after a man named Shou Meng became the king, he managed the country well, strengthened the exchanges between Wu and the Central Plains, and annexed several surrounding small countries, making Wu gradually stronger. And Shou Meng himself called himself King Wu. After that, some of the Dukes of Wu took Shou as their surname and were called the Shou family, which is the origin of today's Shou surname. There is another theory about the origin of the surname Shou. In ancient times, there was a man named Peng Zu who was a famous longevity star. He lived for more than 800 years. In order to commemorate him, some of his descendants took the character "Shou" as their surname, thus forming another branch of the surname "Shou". To understand this glorious origin of the Shou family, we must first start with Gu Gongzhen, the grandfather of King Wen of Zhou. When Gu Gongzhen's father saw that King Wen of Zhou Ji Chang was born, there was an auspicious sign from the sky, so he thought that King Wen of Zhou must be the one who prospered the Zhou Dynasty, and had high hopes for him. His eldest son Tai Bo and his second son Zhong Yong, in order to realize their father's wish and pass the family inheritance to King Wen of Zhou, both brothers got tattoos and cut off their hair, and ran to the south to hide in the so-called Jingman land. , intending to spend his life in silence. Unexpectedly, their noble personality deeply moved the local residents, and more than 1,000 families followed them voluntarily, creating another great business in the south. For a long time, Taibo has been regarded as the ancestor of the Wu family in the south. The ancestor of the Shou family, Zhou Zhang, is a descendant of Zhongyong. The famous family lived in Jingzhao County (now east of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province).
