According to legend, Zhao (Zhao) came from the won surname, and his ancestor was Zhao Fu. According to legend, Zhao Wuji got eight swift horses in Huashan and gave them to Zhou Muwang. King Mu went hunting in these eight carriages and went to Kunlun Mountain. The Queen Mother of the West gave a banquet in Yaochi.
At this time, Xu Yanwang in the southeast rebelled. Zhao Fu drove thousands of miles every day, got back to the Imperial City in time, and led troops to defeat Xu Yanwang. Because of Zhao Fu's rebellion, Mu Wang made him Zhao Cheng (now the north of Hongdong County, Shanxi Province).
From then on, Zhao Fu and his descendants took the fief as their surname and became Zhao. Qin Shihuang's family is Zhao, and the royal family in Song Dynasty is Zhao, which is the national surname. Of course, it is the first surname of "Hundred Family Names". In the first sentence of Hundred Family Names, Zhao means power and money means money. The problem of everything in the world and money is the first problem. Zhao is the eighth surname in China today, accounting for 2.29% of the Han population in China.
