In the history of our country for the next five thousand years, in addition to the dynasties that have been recorded in the history, there are also ancient times, in ancient times, the emperor and the Yan Emperor were the two most powerful tribes in China, they left many legends for future generations, with the change of the times, the word Yanhuang has been handed down, and we also habitually call ourselves "Yanhuang descendants".
However, in ancient times, in addition to the two major tribes of Yan and Huang, there were many small tribes, among which there was the Jiuli tribe of Xuan You, and it was said that Emperor Yan and Xuan You were two of the same clan, and later the two broke out into a conflict, and Xuan You rebelled against Emperor Yan with his own clan, and Xuan You had 81 brothers under him.
The Jiuli clan under the rule of Xuan You was well armed, each of them was brave and good at war, and along the way, they were invincible and defeated Emperor Yan, so in the myth, they left the heroic names of "copper-headed iron forehead" and "mighty world", but Xuan You was superstitious about force and fought for many years, which also sowed the seeds of military defeat for him.
Emperor Yan rescued the emperor, the emperor also knew that if he did not stop Xuan You, the central plains would be difficult to be peaceful, about 4600 years ago, the emperor united with the tribes of Emperor Yan, and the Jiuli tribe led by Xuan You in Zhuolu a big battle, the emperor and Xuan You two major tribes fought very fiercely, leaving a lot of myths and legends.
The decisive battle of zhuolu was in the wilderness of Jizhou, and there are relevant records in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Great Wilderness of the North Classic", in the decisive battle, Xuan You asked the rain master, and in the midst of the heavy wind and rain, the emperor asked for the assistance of the Nine Heavenly Nieces, and achieved the final victory, although it is a myth, but around 5,000 to 4,000 years ago.
According to historical records, the Liaodong Peninsula to the Yangtze River Delta left traces of the ebb tide, and there was another huge fluctuation around 4700, and the waves and droughts invited by the Emperor of Zhuolu and Xuanyu were basically consistent with the situation in which the Central Plains were affected after that.
After Xuan You was beheaded by the emperor, most of his eighty-one clans were integrated into the Yan and Huang cliques, and the rest who did not want to join also moved to Guizhou and Western Hunan and southwest Hubei, according to the "Later Han Shu Xi Qiang Biography", some of Xuan You's descendants migrated to the west.
Today's Han people, Miao, Yao, Qiang have descendants of Xuan You, and the ancient ancestors of the Han people also have a part of the blood of Xuan You, if zou, Tu, Li, Xuan these four surnames, it is likely to be the descendants of Xuan You, Tu, Li, Xuan, these three surnames are more obvious.
Tu represents the bravery of Xuan You, Li is the Jiuli tribe, and Xuan is the direct bloodline of Xuan You's eighty-one brothers, these three surnames are also the descendants of Xuan You in order to commemorate Xuan You's name, Zou surname can be traced back to Emperor Shun in the main history, Emperor Shun is good at divination and prediction.
In ancient times, the surname Zou was the "mage" under Xuan You, and the Zou clan assisted Xuan You in the southern conquest of the northern war, and made a lot of merits, although the battle was defeated, the emperor and the Yan Emperor still did not hold them accountable at that time, just like you are these four surnames, then you are likely to be a descendant of Xuan You.
