What is the origin of surnames?

1, from the surname Ji, whose son was sealed in North Korea and destroyed the country. His descendant, Han Wuzi (another way of saying it is that Han Wuzi is the descendant of Qu Wohuan, an uncle of the same family, that is, after his brother Shuyu), became an official in Jin, was sealed in Hanyuan, and took the land as his surname. Later, he was divided into Jin with Zhao and Wei and became a vassal. Qin Shihuang destroyed the six countries, and the Han people fled between Jianghuai because they changed their surnames.

His surname has been changed. He Jin, the general of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was renamed He Miao, and he was the half-brother of Zhu Miao, a cycling general. What did the southern Hao surname write later because of the spread of ancient sounds? Hao's surname was originally from the north, and it is also one of the three surnames of Hao, Yang and Liu in the south (see The Biography of Nan Man in the New Tang Dynasty). Hao is divided by Guang Yun, while Ji Yun, Yun Hui and He are divided by sound. (See Kangxi Dictionary) The old saying has been passed down from generation to generation, with fewer words and a more tortuous tone in Nanyin. Therefore, Hao and He have the same pronunciation and have been passed down through the ages, so some southern Hao surnames have gradually changed to He surnames.

3. Give a last name. After Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved to Luoyang, he promoted the sinicization, and the Xianbei surname Heba was changed to the Han surname He. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, Tubo made Sonan's son submit to Ming Dynasty, and the hereditary Hezhouwei commander knew him and gave him He's name.

4. Take the country name as the surname. During the Tang Dynasty, there were nine small Turkic countries in Central Asia, which were called "Nine surnames of Zhaowu" in history.

Later, they moved to the Central Plains, each taking the country name as their surname.

Second, migration distribution.

There are surnames of Shu County in the Western Han Dynasty, Fufeng County and Nanyang County in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Chenjun County in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, indicating that surnames are distributed in Sichuan, Anhui, Shaanxi and Henan. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, some people from the Central Plains moved to Fujian, that is, Yongjia was one of the eight ethnic groups who entered Fujian. In the Tang Dynasty, Ho from the Central Plains entered Fujian twice: First, Ho from Gushi, Gwangju, settled in Fujian with him; Second, in Tang Xizong, there are Gushi people who entered Fujian with Wang Chao and Wang Shen. Since then, he has migrated many times. During the Chunyou period of the Southern Song Dynasty, He Yuji moved from Luoyang to Wenling and Jiang Xun, and then lived in seclusion in Qingyuan Cave. In the Song Dynasty, another He family moved from Lujiang to Fujian, Nanjing and Jiangxi. At the end of Song Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, all the way from Wuping entered Wengyuan, Guangdong Province through Xunwu, Dingnan and Longnan in Jiangxi Province, and the other way from Wuping entered Dongjiaoling, Dabu and Meixian in Guangdong Province, and then branched out. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, He Bin was the general manager of the Dutchman in Taiwan Province Province, which was why he first entered Taiwan Province. In the Qing Dynasty, many people from Fujian moved to Taiwan Province Province, and some further moved to Southeast Asia and some countries and regions in Europe and America.
