The origin of Zhou surname
From the surname Ji, taking the country name as the surname. Hou Ji's great-uncle (that is, Zhou) was forced by Germany and led his troops to migrate from Tai to Xiazhouyuan, Qishan, Shaanxi, hence the name Zhou. Ji Fa, the great-grandson of Qi Huangong, inherited his father Ji Chang's legacy, united with the governors, conquered the Shang Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty.
After Ping Wang, it spread to Zhou Nanwang, the 24th king, and was wiped out by Qin in 256 BC. The royal family headed by Yunwang was abandoned and moved to the northwest of Linru County, Henan Province (now Qingyang Ancient City in Ruzhou). Locals call it Zhou, so they take Zhou as their surname.
