According to the latest demographic statistics, as of now, the population of the Sun surname has reached more than 20 million, accounting for about 1.5% of the national population. So as a grandson surname, do you know the origin of your surname?
The first branch of origin: derived from the Ji surname. The ninth son of King Jichang of Zhou was enfeoffed in the land of Kang (康国, roughly located in the northwestern part of present-day Yuzhou, Henan) and was known as Uncle Kang. During the reign of King Cheng of Zhou, there was the Rebellion of the Three Prisons, and Uncle Kang helped Zhou Gongdan quell the rebellion, and in 1055 BC, Zhou Gongdan divided Uncle Kang into Wei (present-day Qi County, Henan) and established the State of Wei, and Uncle Kang was also known as Uncle Kang. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Kang Shuwei's eighth grandson Ji He was given the title of Duke of Zhou Ping because of his merits in defeating Xi Rong, and was historically known as the Duke of Weiwu. Duke Wu of Wei had a son named Huisun, and Huisun's grandson was called Mingyi, also known as Wu Zhongyi, and Wu Zhongyi, because his grandfather's name was Huisun, later took "Sun" as his surname. Wu Zhongyi was also known as Sun Yi, and his descendants took Sun as their surname. Sun Yi became the ancestor of the Ji surname Sun.

The second branch of origin: derived from the surname of Concubine and the surname of Yao. In 1046 BC, King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, and King Wu of Zhou created Emperor Shun's direct descendant Concubine Man in the State of Chen. In 672 BC, Chen Li's concubine Yue had a son named Chen Guan, who fled to the State of Qi to avoid disasters due to Chen's internal turmoil, and changed the Chen clan to tian. In the period of The Duke of Qi Jing, one of Chen Guan's fourth grandsons was named Xu Wu, and the son of Xu Wu was called Tian Huan, and the son of Tian Huan was Tian Wuyu, the eldest physician of the State of Qi, and the son of Tian Wuyu was called Tian Shu, who was enfeoffed by the Duke of Qi Jing in Le'an because of his exploits against the Ju State, probably located in today's Huimin County, Shandong Province, and was given the surname Sun. Tian Shu's descendants took "Sun" as their surname.
Speaking of this, careful friends will find that the ancestor of Tian Shu is Chen Guan, and this Chen Guan is the ancestor of the Chen surname we introduced earlier. Therefore, this Sun clan and the Chen clan are the same source stream.

Third branch origin: derived from the sub-surname. Earlier, when we introduced the surname of Wang, we said that in the last year of the Shang Dynasty, The uncle of the King of Shang, Bi Gan, was killed because he dared to ask for advice, and his descendants took refuge and changed their surnames, because Bi Gan was originally a descendant of the royal family, and some of his descendants took wang as their surname, and there were also "Sun" as their surname.
The ancestor of the Sun clan is Bigan
Fourth branch origin: derived from the surname Qi. Friends who have seen "The Legend of Mi Yue" all know that the surname of Mi is the national surname of the Chu State. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the King of Chu had a grandson, Pu Jia, and the son of Pu Jia was called Pu Ai La, and this Pu Ai La also had a famous name, called Sun Shu Ao, Sun Shu Ao served as Ling Yin during the Chu Zhuang Wang, because "Sun Uncle" was the word, so his descendants took the word "Sun" as his surname.
In addition, after the death of Chu Dafu Qu to Jiang, his three sons went to the Qin state. One of them settled in Yaozhou, and the famous Tang Dynasty Sun Simiao was his descendant.

Fifth branch of origin: the foreign surname is changed to the surname. As we introduced earlier, for thousands of years, ethnic minorities have been continuously integrated into the Han nationality, and many ethnic minorities have changed to Han surnames, including sun surnames, such as Xianbei, Mongolian, Manchu and other ethnic groups. The Sun clan in Dongbaishui Village, Xiushui Town, LuXian County, was changed from the Mongols. At the same time, there are other Han surnames that have been changed to Sun surnames. For example, the descendants of the Ming Dynasty Anhua king changed from the surname of Zhu to the surname of Sun, and some of the descendants of Xiahou Infant of the Han Dynasty also changed to the surname of Sun.
For thousands of years, the descendants of the Sun clan have been born, such as Sun Bing, Sun Wu, Sun Quan, etc., all of whom are descendants of the Sun clan.
