The origin of the Baijia surname
Huang
It is said that the surname Huang is after Boyi. Boyi was highly valued by Yu. He helped Yu control floods and became famous for a while. In the Zhou Dynasty, there was the Huang State (now west of Huangchuan County, Henan Province), which was a feudal state of the descendants of Boyi. In 648 BC, it was wiped out by the Chu State, and its descendants took the country's surname as the Huang family. According to research, a prestigious family named Huang lived in Jiangxia County (southeast of today's Yunmeng County, Hubei Province). The Huang surname was the first to move south to Huangshi Tiankeng, Ningdu.

Week
The surname Zhou is one of the oldest surnames in my country. According to legend, the ancestors of the Zhou people originally lived in Tai (southwest of today's Wusha County, Shaanxi Province). By the late Shang Dynasty, nomadic tribes continued to invade the Zhou people, making it impossible for the Zhou people who were engaged in agriculture to live in peace. So Gugong Danfu led his people to move to Zhouyuan (today's Weihe Plain in Shaanxi Province), cleared wasteland for farming, built ancestral temples and palaces, and built strong city walls. From then on, they were called the Zhou clan. In 256 BC, the Qin State destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and deposed King Nan of Zhou as a commoner. The local people believed that King Nan was a descendant of the Zhou family, so he was called the Zhou family. In addition, there are some people who changed their surnames to Zhou, such as the Punai clan of the Xianbei royal family in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Helu clan in the Daibei area, and the Putun clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. According to the records of various dynasties and counties in southern Gansu, people with the Zhou surname have moved to southern Gansu during all the southern migrations since the Tang Dynasty.

Zhao
< p>Zuofu got a chariot with eight thousand-mile horses from Huashan area and came to Kunlun Mountain. The Queen Mother of the West hosted a banquet for him in Yaochi. At this time, King Xu Yan in the southeast rebelled. Cefu drove thousands of miles a day and rushed back to Haojing in time to send troops and defeat King Xu Yan. Because Zaofu played a leading role in suppressing the rebellion, King Zhou Mu gave him Zhaocheng (in the north of today's Hongdong County, Shanxi Province). From then on, Zaofu and his descendants were named after the fiefdom and were called the Zhao family. Cepheus is the ancestor of the Zhao surname all over the world. The Zhao surname is one of the 15 major surnames that moved south to Shicheng from the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties. It is also one of the Hakka surnames in southern Jiangxi.--------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
Xu
< p>According to legend, Xu State was a prince of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. During the reign of King Mu of Zhou Dynasty, Xu Junyan was smart and kind. He was supported by the people and his national power was growing day by day. Later, when he was digging a river, he dug out a pair of red bows and swords. He thought it was an auspicious gift from heaven, and he immediately became ambitious to replace Zhou as emperor. So he called himself King Xu Yan and led the 36-nation coalition to attack the Zhou capital. King Mu of Zhou was visiting the Queen Mother of the West at this time. After getting the news, he set off overnight, with Zaofu driving the car, and returned to the Zhou capital a thousand miles a day, where he mobilized an army to suppress the attack. King Xu Yan did not expect King Zhou Mu to come back so soon. Seeing that a bloody battle was about to happen, he sized up the situation and could not bear to let the lives of people suffer, so he immediately withdrew his troops and hid in the mountains near Pengcheng (today's Xuzhou). King Mu of Zhou saw that King Xu Yan was very popular in the local area, so he named his descendants Xu Zi and continued to govern Xu. The descendants of Xu's descendants are called the Xu family, which is the origin of the surname Xu. At the end of the Song Dynasty, the descendants of Xu Heling and Sun Sanlang moved to various counties in southern Jiangxi and became another common surname among Hakkas in southern Jiangxi.--------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

After the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms, the descendants of the Han family scattered all over the country, and one of them lived in the Jianghuai area. According to the local people's alto, the word "Han" was pronounced as "He". Later, readers mistakenly wrote it as "He", and it became the He family. In addition, He Miao in the Han Dynasty, whose original surname was Zhu, took the surname He, and his descendants followed him to form another branch of the He family. The ancestor of the surname He, He Tailang, was born in the first year of Jingfu, Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty. He later went south to Ninghua, Fujian Province to serve as an official.

His surviving family members took Guo as their surname and were called the Zhu family. During the Warring States Period, the State of Chu destroyed the State of Zhu, and the nobles of the State of Zhu fled in all directions, but they never forgot their homeland, so they removed their ears and changed their surname to Zhu.

李

According to legend, the ancestor of the surname Li was Gao Tao, who served as an official under Yao and was in charge of justice. His official name was "Dali". His descendants inherited the Dali position hereditary, and passed through the Yu, Xia and Shang dynasties. They took the official position as their surname and were called "Li family". At the end of the Shang Dynasty, Li Zheng, a descendant of Gaotao, offended the tyrant King Shang Zhou because of his uprightness and strict enforcement of the law, and was executed. Li Zheng's wife and son began to flee. Because the plum trees along the way were full of big, red plums, the mother and son managed to survive by picking plums to satisfy their hunger. In order to commemorate this difficult history and thank Li Zi for his life, the mother and son changed their surname from "Li" to "Li". This is the origin of the surname Li. For a long time, the surname Li was still a minor surname. But in the Tang Dynasty, some subjects with other surnames were given the surname Li by the Li royal family because they helped Li Yuan and Li Shimin in founding the country.
In this way, the Li family became huge and became a major surname in China. In ancient times, most of the earliest famous families with the surname Li lived in Xilong (now in the area of ??Lanzhou, Gongchang, and Qinchuan, Gansu Province), so Xilong became the birthplace of the family surnamed Li. Nowadays, many Hakkas surnamed Li in southern Jiangxi are proud of being a prominent family in Xilong.
