The origin of the surname Xu (Xū) is:

Origin one

"。 In the early Spring and Autumn Period, Xu Juguo, as a small vassal state, was repeatedly invaded by neighboring countries. In the fifteenth year of King Xiang of Zhou Dynasty (Ji Shen's twenty-first year, 639 BC), King Xiang sent troops to attack Xu Juguo, and Xu Juwang fled to Shandong. Because Lu's mother, Cheng Feng, is the daughter of the monarch, she said to Lu: "Chongming is a sacrifice, and it is also a ceremony to keep a little widow; Hot summer, disaster after disaster. If the sentence is sealed, it is to worship, help repair sacrifices, and provide disaster relief. " So, Lu accepted the "beard sentence" and comforted him with words, and then in the following year (22 years of Lu, 638 BC), he sent troops to attack the country of "beard sentence" and sent it back to China to reset it. Shortly thereafter, Xu was once again destroyed by Qi. In the thirty-second year of King Xiang of Zhou (in 620 BC, Duke Wen of Lu was lucky for seven years), Duke Wen of Lu once again sent troops to attack the State of Qi and recaptured its land. But he didn't let Xu sentence another country because he was too weak. Said the son, fled to Lu. Obviously, Xu's sentence has become ideal city of Lu, and it was renamed as "Xuchang".

Among the descendants and nationals of the Wang family in Xu Tu after the national subjugation, those who took the old country as their surname were called Xu Tu. Later, the provincial bamboo slips were divided into two branches, Jane's and Jutu's, which were passed down from generation to generation and were called authentic in history. The correct pronunciation of this branch is xū(ㄒㄩ). Most people in the Xu family respect Fuxi as the ancestor of their surnames.

Origin ii

Originated from the surname, it comes from Mi Xuguo of Shang Dynasty and belongs to the country name. In Shang Dynasty, there was a small vassal state named Mi (now Lingtai in Pingliang, Gansu), and the monarch was Ai. In the vast history books of China, there are few records about Xu Mi. There is a poem "I am disrespectful, dare to refuse a big country, invade Ruan * * *, make Wang Hess angry, make him do it, be loyal, and take the world" in the Collection of Poems written by The Book of Songs in the Spring and Autumn Period. There is a poem in The Book of Songs, Du Gongliu, that is, "stopping the line is secret, running the line is engraved", which is the earliest written record about Xu Mi. Yi Di is a poem about the history of the founding of the People's Republic of China written by Zhou people. Historically, Zhou Wuwang sent troops to attack Shang Zhouwang and arrived in Jin Meng. More than 800 vassal states originally belonging to Shang Dynasty voted for Zhou Wang. Among so many vassal states, Xu Mi-guo appeared twice in the writings of the literati at that time and was included in the Book of Songs, which shows that Xu Mi-guo was indeed a powerful vassal state at that time. In the historical materials after the Han dynasty, the record of the secret book country is not thorough. Sima Qian said in Historical Records Zhou Benji: "I will cut my beard next year." In the history book "Fifteen Years of Zuo Zhao Zhuan Gong", the note reads: "Xu Mi, surnamed Guo Ye, is in Yinmi County, Anding County." The historical book "Expanding Records" records: "The ancient city of Yinmi is located in the east of Anding County, Jingzhou, the west of Quail County, and the old city of the county is connected to the east, which is the ancient secret country." Lingtai County has a record in the historical book Yuanhe County Records: "In the first year of Tianbao, Lingtai County was changed, and now there is a secret old city in the west of the county, that is, the ancient secret must be the country." In the historical book "A Wide Record of the Land", the evolution of Lingtai County was recorded: "The land of Shang Dynasty was dense."

After the demise of Mishu Kingdom, all descendants of the royal family took the country name as their surname, which was called Mishu. Later, in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was simplified to a single surname, which was passed down from generation to generation and was one of the very old surnames. The correct pronunciation of this branch is xū(ㄒㄩ).

Origin three

Originated from the surname Ji, from Xuyi, who defended the country in the Spring and Autumn Period, belongs to Juyi. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a city named Xu in Wei State, so it was located at the junction of Huaxian County, Changyuan County and Puyang County in Henan Province. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the name of Chief Executive Xuyi was "Xu Zhu", just like the "slaughter" of Lu Jin and the "decree" of Qi Chu, which was equivalent to the later county magistrate.

Among Xu Zhu's descendants, some took their ancestors' official titles as surnames, which were called Xu Zhu's, and others were simplified to the single surnames of Xu and Zhu Shi, which were passed down from generation to generation. In addition, among the ancient residents living in Xuyi, there are also people with Juyi as their surname, which has been passed down from generation to generation. The correct pronunciation of this branch is xū(ㄒㄩ).

Origin four

Originated from Yao's surname, from Sui, a vassal state of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period, it belongs to the national title. The history book "Seventeen Years of Zuo Zhuan and Zhuang Gong" records: "In the spring, the Qi people held Zheng Zhan, and Zheng did not go to court. Xia Yinjia, Jaw Jia, Gonglou Jia and Xu Jia were all drunk and killed, and everyone was annihilated. " According to historical records, after Xia Jie was destroyed by Tang Cheng, the Shang Dynasty was established. After he sealed Yu Shun, he went to Sui, so he was located in the south of Shangsui Village, Jieshan Town, Dongping County, Shandong Province. There is a Sui kingdom, a viscount and a monarch named Sui Zi. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Sui was a small vassal state of Lu, and China people had only four surnames, namely Xu Sui, Sui Yin, Gong Lou and Qin. In the spring of the first year of the Zhou Dynasty (in the 13th year of the Duke of Luzhuang, in the 5th year of Jiangtong, in 68 1 6 BC), in order to quell the rebellion of the Song State, Duke of Luzhuang met in Beixing (now Quyang, Shandong). China people refused to attend the meeting because of being invaded by Qi people, which angered Qi Huangong, the overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period. Soon after the meeting, Qi was destroyed. At that time, Duke Zhuang of Lu was afraid of Qi Huangong, so he ignored Qi Huangong's destruction of Sui. In fact, after Qi Huangong destroyed the Sui Dynasty, he returned the land to Duke Zhuang of Lu, who was very happy to get a city for free. Archaeologists found that the ruins of the ancient Sui capital belong to a mountain terrace, which is 450 meters long from east to west and 350 meters wide from north to south. The cultural layer is about 60 cm thick and the surface layer is loess. The bare objects on the surface include gray, brown and red pots, beaks and other pottery pieces, as well as small gray-black thin pottery bricks decorated with rope patterns. There is a high earthen terrace in the southwest of the Ruins of Sui City, which was the site of Sui City at that time. Locals call it "Nanchengtaizi".

After the Sui Dynasty was destroyed by Qi State, its royal descendants and nationals became subjects of Lu State, among which Xu Sui's family name was gradually simplified to Xu, which was passed down from generation to generation. The correct pronunciation of this branch is xū(ㄒㄩ).
