He got his surname from the birthplace of Emperor Yan and is one of the oldest surnames in China. "Shuowen" says: "Shennong lived in Jiangshui, so he was considered his surname." During the time of Yu and Xia, Boyi, the grandson of Emperor Yan and the ancestor of the Four Mountains, was granted the title of Lu (today's Nanyang County, Henan Province) because of his contribution to assisting Yu in controlling floods. He established the State of Lu and was given the surname Jiang again to continue the legacy of Emperor Yan. Qi State, one of the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, was founded by Lu Shang of Lu State. Historical records say: Lu Shang, whose surname was Jiang and whose name was Ya, had great merit in controlling the four mountains, and his descendants were given the same surname. ?In this way, the Jiang surname that moved to various places continued to multiply and develop, and by the Han Dynasty it had developed into a prominent family. According to historical records, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, there were people with the surname Jiang in Xirong, so they were called Jiangrong. They were originally located in Guazhou (now west of Dunhuang, Gansu), and then gradually moved eastward. In about 638 BC, their leaders moved to Shanxi The south belongs to the Jin State. The Jiang family, who lived in present-day Shandong and Henan provinces, had developed into a large clan in Guandong (the area east of Hangu Pass in present-day Lingbao County, Henan) before the Western Han Dynasty. At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, in order to enrich the population of Guanzhong, the Jiang family moved from Guandong to Guanzhong. Since then, they have lived in Tianshui (now part of Gansu), so the family members named "Tianshui" as their county name. By the Han Dynasty, the Jiang family had already moved to present-day Jiangsu and Sichuan. However, until the Tang Dynasty, Tianshui was still the development and reproduction center of the Jiang family. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Jiang family was also distributed in today's Hebei, Henan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui, Shandong and other places as well as Qiongshan in Guangdong. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, some of the Jiang family lived in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hunan, Guizhou, Hubei and other places today. According to Jiang family genealogy records, during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, a Jiang Shiliang moved to Hongdou Village, Longxi County, Zhangzhou, Fujian, and made his fortune here. Their descendants multiplied, and some branches moved to Yandun Township, Lufeng, Guangdong, where they continued to prosper and develop. Later, Jiang Shiliang's 11th grandson immigrated to Taiwan from the mainland during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Since then, some people from the Jiang family in Fujian and Guangdong have moved to Taiwan, and some have spread overseas.
