The Han nationality's Zhao surname comes from the won surname or Yao surname, and Zhao surname comes from the won surname. The emergence of the won surname is because the son-in-law was given a won surname and his daughter Yao was married to him. Shun Di, surnamed Yao, is a descendant of the Chinese people. He was born in Yaodi and took Yao as his surname. Later generations took Yao as their surname. The ancestor who used the won surname was Boyi, and the specific ancestor was Zhao Fu. Boyi, the grandson of Zhuan Xu, took Shun Di as his surname. Zhao Fu, the ninth grandson of Boyi, was a famous horse-riding expert in the Western Zhou Dynasty. He bought eight horses in Taolin area, trained them and gave them to Zhou Muwang. Zhou Muwang is equipped with a good car and let Zhao Fu drive it for him. He often goes out hunting and playing. Once he went west to Kunlun Mountain and met the Queen Mother of the West, but forgot to go home. At this time, Zhou Muwang was very anxious when he heard the news of Xu Xu Rebecca's rebellion. At this critical moment, Zao Fu drove thousands of miles, making Zhou sdgsdgmjsdjgslldgmlsdkgmjdlsg ranked eighth and 43rd in Taiwan Province Province, with a population of about 32 million. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Fu's nephew and concubine were sealed in the dog mound and the State of Qin was established. The descendants of the seventh generation of Zaofu began to lead some clans into Jin from Zhou, and they flourished. The three kingdoms divided into Jin and established Zhao, which is known in history as "by Zhou Rujin, Zhao's surname began to flourish". By the time the state of Zhao perished, Zhao's surname had been distributed in Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, Shandong and other places. After Qin Shihuang destroyed Zhao, Wang Jia was moved to Tianshui, Gansu, and Zhao was exiled to Fangxian County, Hubei Province. At the end of Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo, a member of the imperial clan of Qin State (now Zhengding, Hebei Province), established Nanyue State, expanding Zhao's activities to Guangdong, Guangxi and northern Vietnam. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhao's sister was killed and the people were forced to move to Liaoxi County, which was also the beginning of Zhao's activities in Northeast China. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to escape Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Zhao Da, a native of Luoyang, took refuge and moved to Jiangdong. Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong were appointed generals in the middle of Shu. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tianshui-Zhao moved to Luoyang, and his descendant Sun Zhaogui guarded it and moved to Wuchuan (now Inner Mongolia). At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, a group of soldiers named Zhao arrived in Fujian and settled in the "wild chaos". In the Five Dynasties, a man named Zhao settled in Guangzhou with the regime of Liu Gong and Nan Han. According to the Records of History of Song Dynasty, the imperial clan in Song Dynasty was divided into three tribes, namely Taizong (Zhao Kuangyin), Taizong (Zhao Guangyi) and Wang Wei (Zhao Tingmei). Taizu tribe is divided into Rebecca (Zhao Dezhao) tribe and Wang Qin (Zhaofangde) tribe. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Rebecca tribe moved to the following areas: Yingzhou, Zhou Shu, Sichuan (now Chongqing), Taizhou, Zhenjiang, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Ji 'an, Jiangling, Jiangxi, Nanxiong, Hubei, and Wang Qin tribe moved to Shaoxing, Huzhou and Taizhou, Zhejiang. Wang Wei was moved to Zhoufang (now Fangxian County, Hubei Province), and his descendants successively moved to Kaifeng and Luoyang in Henan, Yizhou and Jeju in Shandong, Tingzhou in Fujian, Kunshan and Licheng in Jiangsu and Xiushui in Zhejiang. After the shame of Jingkang, two cases of Qin Hui were taken into exile in Wu Guocheng (now Songhuajiangkou, Heilongjiang).
Geographical distribution frequency of Zhao family
Therefore, the Tang Taizong tribe spread and multiplied in the vast area of Northeast China. At the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, Kang Wang moved south to Hangzhou and south to Zhao, some moved to Changshu, Jiangsu, and some moved to Shangrao, Jiangxi. After the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial clan of the Southern Song Dynasty fled to Penghu and Chaoyang, and then propagated in Fujian and Guangdong. Since the Song Dynasty, the surname Zhao has spread all over the country. What is worth pointing out is the spread of Zhao's surname overseas. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a man named Zhao who went overseas. His ethnic composition is diverse, and he lives in Southeast Asia and the United States. For example, the Zhao surname of Yao nationality is distributed in Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, the United States, France, Canada and other countries; Zhao of Zhuang nationality lives in Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and other places.
