Xu came from Jiang, one of the ancient surnames in China, and was the distant ancestor of Yan Emperor Shennong, so he was named after the sage of Yao and Shun times. Xu You, who wrote about Xu Yao, was a noble and chaste person in ancient times. According to legend, Emperor Yao wanted to give him the throne, but he refused and fled to Jishan to farm for dinner. Emperor Yao asked him to be an official in Kyushu. He went to Shui Ying to wash his ears and said he didn't want to hear these vulgar words. Later generations called his contemporary hermit "Nest Friend" or "Nest Xu" to refer to this hermit. The story of Yao Shun's abdication, as the earliest model of democratic thought, has become a beautiful talk through the ages and the earliest famous hermit in ancient times. It is said that he was the teacher of Yao, Shun and Yu, so later generations also called him "Master III". Jin Huangfu Mi's "Biography of Gao Shi" said: "Xu You, the word martial arts, is also a bad man in Yangcheng." The place of Yangcheng Li Huai is in Jishan, Dengfeng City, Henan Province. After his death, he was buried in Mount Ji, so Mount Ji is also called Xu. Historical records? Sima Qian once said in "Biography of Boyi": "When I went to Mount Ji, there was a cloud of promise buried on it." "Taiping Yu Lan" quoted The Journey to the West as saying: "Xuchang City was originally allowed to live". In today's Dengfeng City, Xuchang City, Yuzhou City and Yanling County in Henan Province, along the Heying River Basin, there are still many legends about Xu You, and a large number of relics about Xu You are preserved. The Shui Ying Valley where Xu You and his tribe lived is the seat of Jiang Wenshu in West Zhou Wuwang, which was enfeoffed by Guo Xu more than 1000 years later. It can be seen that there is a relationship between Xu You and Wen Shu. So don. Yan Shigu in the article "urgent? Note: "Xu, later Xu You also." Wen Tianxiang in the Southern Song Dynasty said in his Preface to the Xu Family Tree of Five Clouds in Summer: "According to Xu, I am free to hide my promise, so I want my surname. Today, there is a burial place in Lushan, Xuzhou, that is, its land. " Facts have proved that it is the ancestor of Xu, and Jishan in Dengfeng and Yanling County in Xuchang City are the ancestral homes of Xu. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wuwang met the Three Emperors and Five Emperors and asked them to pay homage. After finding Emperor Yan, Jiang, the descendant of Boyi, sealed him in (present-day Henan) in April and established a baron. Many scholars in ancient and modern times believe that the four mountains and Boyi are the same, and Wen Shu is in the same strain. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Xu was forced by Zheng, Chu and other countries and moved to Rongcheng (now southeast of Lushan County, Henan Province) in the first 506 years. At the beginning of the Warring States, it was destroyed by Chu (once said, by Wei). In order to commemorate the old country, later generations took the country name as their surname, forming a resident group named Xu. Is this a new Tang book? The prime minister's lineage shows, "The surname of Jiang comes from the Xu family. After Yan Emperor Sun Boyi died, Xu Sun, who later thought Taiyue was the heir, was destroyed by Chu, moved to Rongcheng, and his descendants were scattered, making the country his surname. Some of these people surnamed Xu are not surnamed Xu at all. To commemorate the old country, taking Xu as the surname became another important source of early Xu Shi and another reason for Xu Shi.
