The surname Liu originally originated from Tang County in present-day Hebei Province, but the original surname Liu was in present-day Shaanxi Province. When the Liu family named Qi was passed down to the Warring States Period, some people served as officials in the State of Wei and moved to Daliang (now Kaifeng, Henan). He had a son, Liu Qing, who moved to Feng and Pei in today's Jiangsu.
Liu Qing was born Liu Ren, also known as Fenggong, and Liu Ren was born Liu Xuan, also known as Zhijia. Xuan gave birth to four sons: Bo, Zhong, Bang and Jiao. The third son, Liu Bang, was the emperor of the Han Dynasty. After the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, people with the same surname were entrusted to various places. Later, the tribes multiplied and formed a major surname in the country.
