Origin one

Originated from Xiong's family, Changyi, the son of the Yellow Emperor since ancient times, is the name of the ancestor. The Yellow Emperor had four concubines, and he had 25 sons, of whom 12 sons inherited their father's surname Ji, and the rest 13 sons changed their surnames to people other than Ji. Yuan Fei Xiling, the daughter of Xiling, named Leizu, gave birth to three children: Xiao Xuan, Changyi and Long Miao. In 2839 BC, in the twenty-ninth year of the Yellow Emperor, Lei Zu, the daughter of Xiling, gave birth to her second son Changyi in Ruoshui, Sichuan (now Ya 'an, Sichuan). In 1977, Huangdi ordered Changyi to live in Ruoshui, Sichuan (referring to being reduced from Di Zi to a vassal), married a waitress in Shushan and gave birth to Zhuan Xu, becoming one of the five ancient emperors who led the Chinese nation after Huangdi. Later, Changyi moved north to the Central Plains with his family and established Changyi Yicheng (now the northwest of Henan Province). His son Zhuan Xu, a tribal leader, assisted Shao Hao for ten years and became king at the age of twenty. He became one of the five famous ancient emperors (Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Di Ku, Tang Yao and Yu Shun) who led the Chinese nation, and established Diqiu (now Puyang, Henan) as the Lai family. Emperor Zhuan Xu (zhān xū) named Chang Yi after his grandfather, so he became Chang Shi.

In fact, the Dangchang Qiang later merged with the Yak, Baima, Canlang, Qiechang, Shanqiang, Bao Qiang and other tribes and re-established, with Dangchang County in Longnan, Gansu as the political and economic center. Among the Qiang people of Dangchang nationality, in the Tang Dynasty, there were people who took the country name as their surname, namely Chang and Dang. In the heyday of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, was also a state, with jurisdiction over Huaidao, Lianggong, Herong and Fujin counties, and was under the General Political Department of Qin Zhou. In the second year of Shang Dynasty (AD 76 1), when Tang Suzong Hengli, the third son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, was in power, Dangzhou was trapped in the Tubo Dynasty until the Five Dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, Dangchang Qiang was ruled by Tubo people, and was called a barbarian by Han history. Historians often called him Mu. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a famous Tibetan leader Mu (Mu) who ruled Min and Dang. He was the leader of Dang Chang Qiang. In the Ming Dynasty, officials called them the Sixteen Clans of Jia Mu. Since Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Dangchang Qiang people have been officially called Xifan.

Later, under the oppression of cannibalism (Arab Empire), some China people moved to the East to seek the protection of the Tang Dynasty, which took them in and established an immigrant settlement in Puchanghai area.

The nine surnames of Zhaowu also play a great role in the political, economic and cultural life of nomadic khanates around the Central Plains, especially after the ancient Sogdian script was brought into the Turkic khanate and the Uighur khanate, its influence can be traced back to the Sogdian script.
