The origin of Xu surname

The distribution and migration of Xu surname in history

Xu Shi's birthplace is now Xu Changdong, Henan. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, under the pressure of Zheng, Chu and other countries, Xu moved his capital to Henan and Anhui several times.

After the Xu family was destroyed by Chu, except for some who moved to Jingshan, Hubei and Zhijiang, Hunan, most of the Xu family propagated locally or moved northward.

Xu first moved north to Levin, Jizhou (now Levin, Hebei), and later Xu moved back to Baofeng, Henan.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, the Xu family had spread all over most areas of Henan and Hebei provinces. Since then, the northern Xu surname is mainly distributed in today's Henan, Hebei, Anhui, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other vast areas.

Xu Nanqian began in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, He was ordered to enter Fujian, accompanied by a Henan Xu Shi, and settled in Fujian. In Tang Xizong, Xu Ai, an imperial envoy, guarded Zhangzhou for Zhao 'an, and later entered Jinjiang Stone Tortoise.

After the Tang Dynasty, Xu moved south on a large scale and propagated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hubei, Fujian, Guangdong and other provinces. At the end of Song Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, the Xu family moved to Guangdong.

In the Ming Dynasty, Fujian people Xu Chonghuai and Xu Shen moved to Taiwan Province Province, then Xu Shi moved to Taiwan Province Province many times, and then some people moved overseas. Xu Shi, traveling in Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other places, is integrated with Dong, Zhuang, Miao, Buyi and Tujia ethnic minorities.

the Spring and Autumn Period

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng, Chu and other countries were powerful, and Xu was constantly attacked by these vassal countries. Because the strength is weak and unable to resist, we have to endure humiliation and compromise. In 654 BC, the State of Chu attacked Xu, unable to resist, so he apologized and withdrew.

When the king of Chu was in power, he attacked Xu again and had to apologize again and let him withdraw. In this case, what Guo Xu can do is to migrate to avoid its sharpness. In 576 BC, Xu was forced to move to Ye (now southwest of Ye County, Henan Province);

In 533 BC, he moved to the capital city (now southeast of Bo County, Anhui Province); In 529 BC, he moved back to Ye; In 524 BC, he moved to Rongcheng (now southeast of Lushan, Henan Province).

In 523 BC, Xu suffered from malaria, and the prince stopped offering medicine. Xu Mogong did not cure the disease, but died. When the prince saw that he had made a big disaster, he fled to the state of Jin.

In addition, there are Xu Bo of Chu, Xu Xian of Zheng, Xu Jun of Jin and Zhao, Li Xu of Wei and Xu Wan of Wei. They were all exiled from Xu for various reasons, but they settled in the local area because they could not return home.

Later, they migrated almost every three to five years, showing the sinister situation they faced at that time. After moving the capital to Rongcheng, it got a long respite, but at that time, the Zhou royal family was weak and unable to stop the disputes between princes, and a small country like this was inevitably annexed.

During this period, most Xu surnames distributed in various countries were forced to move after the death of Xu, and usually retained their aristocratic status.

However, in the late Warring States period, due to the acceleration of social change and the fierce social differentiation, some people named Xu have gradually lost their original aristocratic status, such as Xu Li of Zhao State. They must regain their merits by virtue of their own talents in order to gain a higher social status.

In addition, in addition to the above-mentioned foreign countries, countries such as Qi, Korea and Yan also have Xu surnames, who are engaged in a variety of occupations, including people from the lower classes.

Throughout this period, there were not many Xu surnames in various countries.
