This branch of the Ju family originated from Wei Zi of the Song Dynasty in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, when it was the Juguan family and the Juchenjing family. Among the descendants of the Juwu and Juchenjing clans, most of the provincial slips were later changed to the single surname Ju, which was passed down from generation to generation. Until the Han Dynasty, there were still people with the compound surname Juwu. According to the historical record "The Biography of Wang Mang of the Former Han Dynasty": "There was a strange man, who was 10 feet long and ten feet tall, and he called himself Ju Wu Ba. Mang changed his surname to Ju Wu Ba. He said that he was the king of Fu because of Wen Mu." In the historical book "Guangwu Ji of the Later Han Dynasty", it is called "Juwuba." The descendants of Juwuba are proud of their ancestors, and most of them are called the Juwu family. After the fall of Wang Mang's regime, some of the Juguan clan changed their provincial slips to the single surname Ju, which has been passed down from generation to generation to this day. This is recorded in the classic "Guangyun": "There was Juwu in the Han Dynasty and he was the governor of Jingzhou." It is also recorded in the genealogy document "He's Surname Yuan": "The Ju family came from Nanchang."

He was granted the title of Feng Ju at that time, so he was named Feng Ju. Among Feng Ju's descendants, there are those who take their ancestor's name as their surname, and they are called Feng Ju's family, and later they are divided into Feng and Ju families.

There is a record in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Period" that can be used as the best example: "The Mohist tycoon lived in the Qin Dynasty, and his son killed people. King Hui said: "Sir, he is old. He must not have another son. I have ordered the officials not to punish him." He said to his belly, "Mo's law is that those who kill people will die and those who hurt others will be punished.

In the first year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (the first year of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, 1851 AD), Hong Xiuquan led the Jintian Uprising and launched the world-famous Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement. In March of the lunar calendar in the third year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (the third year of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, 1853 AD), after the Taiping Army captured Nanjing, it was renamed Tianjing and designated as the capital. In the sixth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (the sixth year of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, 1856 AD), the leader of the left army, Yi Wang Shida, attacked the Qing army's Jiangnan camp and rescued Tianjing. In the Tianjing Incident in September of the lunar calendar that year, there was civil strife in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the kings killed each other. The Eastern King Yang Xiuqing, the Northern King Wei Changhui, and the Yan King Qin Rigang were killed. In the sixth month of the lunar calendar in the seventh year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (the seventh year of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, 1857 AD), Shi Dakai left, and all the founding fathers of the country were lost. After Yi Wang Shi Dakai led his army on an expedition to the southwest, he established the position of "Jushuai", which was held by a mid-level general who was brave and good at fighting. He commanded an army division (2,500 people) and was like the leader of a forward force.
In the sixth month of the lunar calendar in the second year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (the thirteenth year of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, 1863 AD), Shi Dakai's 150,000 expeditionary troops were wiped out. Shi Dakai surrendered by the Dadu River and was killed by the Qing army. A few generals fled back to Tianjing. After the fall of Tianjing in the seventh month of the lunar calendar in the third year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (the fourteenth year of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, 1864 AD), the Taiping Army's Zhu family commander led hundreds of remnant troops to flee to the borders of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces. Many southern surnames originated. Hidden in the Liyang area, it is said that "three bronze cannons broke through nine levels, a giant commander established his ancestor Tianmu Mountain, the scenery is magnificent and the jade hairpin is beautiful, and the water under the Hanguang Pavilion is like the sky."
Among the descendants and subordinate officers of the Taiping Army Zhu's Jushuai, many of them changed their surname to "Jushuai" based on their official position, and were called Jus to avoid the killings of the Qing Dynasty. This has been passed down from generation to generation to this day. This is correct. The surname is pronounced jù(ㄐㄩˋ). There is an ancient Ju family in Qishan County, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province today. It is said that it is a descendant of the ancient Zhou royal family and has the surname Ji.
In the fifty-ninth year of Ji Yan, King Nan of Zhou Dynasty (the fifty-first year of King Qin Zhaoxiang’s victory in 256 BC), King Zhaoxiang of Qin launched a war to destroy the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Five years later, in the 866th year of Guozuo's reign, the Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, and Chinese history began to enter the pre-Qin period.
After the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, some members of the Zhou royal family with the surname Ji lost their country and took away the "female" radical of their surname to express the loss of their mother and did not want to be a "minister" of the Qin State, so they changed it again. The character is "Ju", and its meaning is "still big". He is neither humble nor arrogant towards Qin, so he is called the Ju family and has been passed down from generation to generation.
