The surname Qu is considered a very typical multi-ethnic and multi-origin surname. As of August, the surname Qu ranked 182nd on the list of surnames in China, with a population of about 763,000, accounting for about 0.048% of the country's total population. In the traditional sense, the distant ancestor of the Qu family began with Mi Xia, the son of King Wu of Chu, the king of the Chu state in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was granted the title of Qu (Zigui, Hubei), and his descendants took the name of the feudal land - Qu - as their surname. Therefore, the Qu family is a public family of Chu State, and the Qu family originated from the surname Mi. The Qu family became very prosperous after acquiring the surname. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qu family, the Jing family, and the Zhao family were the three most powerful royal families in Chu State, and they were prominent for a while. During this period, more than ten people were recorded in history, among whom Qu Yuan, the Sanlu doctor, was the most famous. In 223 BC, Chu was destroyed by Qin, and the Qu family began to move around. Some of them took refuge in scattered places such as Hubei and Hunan. After the Han Dynasty destroyed the Qin Dynasty, the descendants of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms and the powerful families of Guandong moved to Guanzhong, including the Qu family, which was the beginning of the Qu family's entry into Shaanxi.
After the Western Han Dynasty, some of the Qu family moved to Linhai, Zhejiang, and some moved to Sihong, Xuyi and other places in Jiangsu. The turmoil at the turn of the Han Dynasty caused some of the Qu family from Guanzhong to enter Shanxi, Hebei, and Shandong, and one of them moved to Luoyang, Henan. During the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Qu family, which flourished in present-day Linhai, Zhejiang, Xuyi, Jiangsu, and Luoyang, Henan, was large and prosperous, and the Qu family prospered in Linhai, Linhuai, and Henan counties. The Qu family later developed into a prominent family in Linhai County, and was known as Linhaiwang in the world. During the Three Kingdoms period, Qu Huang, a native of Runan, became an official in Wu and settled in what is now Jiangsu Province. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the proliferation of the Qu Zun family in northern Hebei and southern Liaoning was also quite eye-catching. During the same period, the Qu Tu family was changed to the Qu family, which greatly expanded the Qu family. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the development of the Qu family was manifested in the competition between the north and the south for supremacy and development. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the development of the Qu family in the south overwhelmed the north, and they moved to the vast provinces in the south. Today, people of the Qu family have settled in Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi. In the early Ming Dynasty, the Qu family in Shanxi was the surname of the people who immigrated to the big locust tree in Hongdong and was moved to Hebei, Beijing, Jiangsu, Henan, Shandong and other places. After the Ming and Qing dynasties, Qu's distribution expanded further. Qu's family is widely distributed in China. As of January 2009, most of them are in Hunan, Shaanxi and other provinces.
