Cui's surname came from Qi State in the Western Zhou Dynasty, with a history of nearly 3,000 years. Once a famous Shandong family, China had a long surname. According to various ancient records, Cui Shi came from Jiang. Qi was one of the important vassal states in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, with its capital in Linzi (now Zibo, Shandong Province) and the founding monarch being Lu Shang. Lu Shang was originally surnamed Jiang, and was sealed in Lu (now Nanyang, Henan Province) because of his ancestors, and later took Lu Shang as his surname. Ding Gongyi, the son of Lu Shang, is the second generation monarch of Qi. His eldest son, Kiko, should have succeeded to the throne, but he gave way to his younger brother, Uncle B, who lived in (now the northwest of Zhangqiu County, Shandong Province), and later took the city as his surname and became Cui Shi.

And this Ding, according to legend, is the son of Jiang Ziya. Therefore, Cui Shi China people are the direct descendants of Jiang Taigong, and they are the descendants of the ancient Yandi Shennong. Their surnames are about 3000 years old.
