The compound surname of Jimo comes from the official name of Zhou Dynasty. The ancients took place names as surnames. During the Warring States Period, Jimo people were born in Qi (Shandong). Originated from Gui family, from Tian Dan, the general of the State of Qi during the Warring States Period, which belongs to the name of a feudal city. According to the historical book "Yan Zi's Spring and Autumn Annals", "Jimo family, according to Qi, Tian Dan kept Jimo and supported it." In the historical book "Lost Customs", Jie's surname is quoted as saying: "Jimo's family, Han has Jimo Wei as Xianyang's order ... Han has a single father's order, that is, the fee, which first eats Jimo, hence the name." It is also recorded in the historical book "The Scholars": "In the Warring States Period, Chengyang was in Jimo and Qi was a native." During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Cui Shi, Lushi, Bao, Laishi, Jimo, Tang, Tan, Yan and Liang Qiushi were the surnames of Qi. After the Jimo clan, the provincial language was simplified to a single surname, namely Shi and Mo.
