Born in the Present-day Guanzhong region of Shanxi, emperor of the Central Plains, and known as the ancestor of China, he is considered the ancestor of the "Huaxia" ethnic group. The Huaxia people, since the Han Dynasty, have been called Han Chinese.
In ancient times, the people living on the land of China were not only the Tribes surnamed Jiang under the leadership of Emperor Yan, the tribes under the leadership of the Yellow Emperor, but also the Jiuli tribes under the leadership of Xuan You. In ancient Chinese mythology, the clams could summon wind and rain, use gold as weapons, often raise wars, and create some friction with other tribes from time to time.
The Qing Dynasty scholar Zhang Shu described in his book "Surname Origin and Road History": "蚩氏: 蚩優後. Xuan You: The prince of Jiang surname Qi (Li) Tian Zi Qiong's branch, eight brothers of the same mother, seventy-two brothers of the clan, a total of eighty-one people. ”
The Jiuli tribe under the leadership of You fought bravely and shook the world, and many small tribes were tortured and oppressed by them. In order to compete for the Central Plains suitable for grazing and shallow farming, the Jiuli people, under the leadership of Xuan You, took Shandong as their base and developed from southeast to northwest, and began to enter the North China Plain.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Great Wilderness of the North Classic records that "Xuan You made a soldier to attack the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor was the wilderness of Jizhou that Ying Long attacked." In response to the dragon livestock water, Xuan You asked the wind and rain master, and let the wind and rain blow. Seeing that the Yellow Emperor had once again been defeated, he had to ask the Xuannu to go down to the Nether realm and grant himself the Soldier Faith Rune. In the first battle, the army of Xuanyu was defeated and the final victory was achieved.
1. "Lai" surname
The surname "Li" is an ancient surname that ranks 262nd in the Hundred Family Names. The surname Li refers to "after the Nine Li", and Xuan You is also called "the King of Li", so it can also be confirmed from the side that the person with the surname "Li" is a descendant of Xuan You.
After Xuanyu was defeated, the Jiuli clan under his command merged with the Yanhuang clan and partly chose to move south. Whether they stayed or moved south, they retained their most original surname, "Li".
2. "Zou" surname
The surname "Zou", the sixteenth among Chinese surnames, is also an ancient surname. There are many sources, one of which originates from the Yao surname, the Yao surname zou: the Shun Emperor Yao surname. After the defeat of Xuanyu, some of his descendants took root in the Rusi region and renamed the tribe Zou Tushi. In ancient times, the same ancestor's tribe had the same family tree, and people of the same tribe could only intermarry with people from their own tribe, so over time, the result was that the same tribe was the same surname.
3. The surname "Tu"
The total population of the "Tu" surname is relatively small, and the earliest record is that it is a descendant of the Shang Dynasty royal family, and like the "Zou" surname, it is also derived from the Yao surname. After Xuanyu was captured, some members of the tribe migrated to the land of Zou Tu and settled here.
4. The surname of "蚩"
This last one is the surname "蚩". Literally, this "蚩" surname is most associated with 蚩Yu. According to the historical material "Minglun Compilation Clan Codex", "The Clan Of The Clan, after the Clan of The Clan of The Ming Dynasty, is also after the Clan of The Ming Dynasty." ”
Today, we are all part of the sons and daughters of China, growing up under the same blue sky, drinking the same water, speaking the same language, and having the same blood flowing in our bones.
