Anyone familiar with history knows that there was a country and a senior official in Qi State in Zhou Dynasty, and all the dynasties were the highest-ranking ministers in Qi State. Their appointment was directly granted by the Zhou Emperor, and all the affairs of the State of Qi must be finally decided by them. This is what the annotation of Zuo Zhuan said: "Guo Zi and Gao Zi are all ministers of Qi Chenshou at the behest of the son of heaven."
Where did this name come from two or three thousand years ago? It's a long story to discuss the origin of the surname Gao, because there have been at least four or five members of this big family for five thousand years, which can be described as "the origin of surnames is diverse and there are many ethnic groups".
Let's talk about the gaos thought that Qi was very proud of in the Zhou Dynasty. As for the origin of their surnames, it is recorded in Guangyun: "Later, the grain was collected in Gao, because I thought it was their surnames"; And in the Tongzhi Genealogy, it is recorded in detail: "The son of the son, the son of Qi, the word is high, and the later is high."

Later, some people took Levin as their surname. There is an ancient debater Levin in Lv Chunqiu. Gaoling's surname is "Wang Di of Qin Zhao named Gaolingjun, and later thought it was his surname". These compound surnames have long been very rare.

For example, in the Han Dynasty, there were three generations: Gao Jia, Gao Rong and Gao Xu. Biography of the Seventeen Letters of the Book of Rites, written by scholars and circulated in Dade and Dai Sheng, is annotated with ancient books such as Warring States Policy, Lv Chunqiu and Huainanzi.
In addition, Gao Shi, like the Tang Dynasty, not only served as our ambassador in Huainan, Jiannan and Xichuan, but also showed great abnormality, and his poetry was sophisticated and curious. Gao Qi, one of the famous "Ten Friends of Northern Guo" at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, once participated in the compilation of History of Yuan Dynasty, and was famous for his bold poems.

Origin and migration
Gao has a long history. In ancient times, there was "the stomach of Levin, the home of Bohai Sea". Huang Di Chen, who opened a room, is the earliest high surname figure in ancient books. Gao's real name is Jiang. Emperor Yan was born in a tributary of the Weihe River in southern Shaanxi, so his surname is Jiang. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, King Wu named Jiang Shang (Ziziya) King of Qi, with the title of Taigong. Grandfather Sun Qiwen VI Gong Jiangchi, he had a son who was sealed in Gaoyi (now Yucheng, Shandong Province) and took the fief as his surname. Sun Gao, the son of Gao, was appointed Minister of Qi by the Emperor of Zhou, who was in charge of the army and cooperated with Guan Zhong to dominate the Central Plains, making great contributions. After his death, his descendants were hereditary aristocrats of Qi State, and Hetian were prominent aristocrats. During the Warring States period, the sky was in harmony, and many people moved to Shandong and Yan State for development. Sun Gaohong, the 26th generation, was the magistrate of Bohai County in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his descendants were very prosperous, so he regarded Gao's county as Bohai County (now Bazhou City, Hebei Province). Gao Huan and Gao Cheng, who served as prime ministers in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, controlled the military and political power of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Gao Cheng's brother Gao Yang accepted the Zen position of Wei Emperor as the King of Qi and became the monarch of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Gao entered its heyday. After the Northern Zhou Dynasty defeated the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Gaos were weak. Since then, the mainstream of high surname in Bohai Sea is Gao Huan's cousin Gao Yue. Before the Tang Dynasty, the surname Gao generally developed in the north. After the Huang Chao Uprising in the late Tang Dynasty, Gao Gang, a native of Gushi, Gwangju, Huainan West Road, moved to Tang Fu County in the south of the Yangtze River (Huai 'an County, Fuzhou). In the Five Dynasties, the king of Fujian made him a government. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Gao, a descendant of Gaogang in Ningde, Fuzhou, was a scholar and served as the magistrate of Dongan, Yongzhou. Gao Kuang, his son, settled in Shaowu and gave lectures in Wuyi Jingshe with Zhu, a Dali scholar in the Song Dynasty. Gao Kuangzi and Gao Tan gave birth to three sons, Yi, Yi and Qi. Gao Ben moved to Zhangzhou. Gao, a native of Shaowu, gave birth to three sons, namely, Wen Hui and. At the end of Song Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, Gao Wenhui moved to Qianjiawei, Shibi Village, Ninghua. He has a son, Shiro. His name is different. He is the 67th generation descendant of Gao. Shiro moved to Kaiji, Caotian Township, Shengyunli, Shanghang County (now Caotian Village, Lanxi City) in the second year (1296). Shiro is the ancestor of Gao in Shanghang. Looking back, the Gaos in Shanghang were descendants of Gaogang in the late Tang Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, another Gao Qiong ethnic group, Zhong Qiu and Wu Jun, who fought against Song Taizu and Song Zhenzong and were appointed by the government to inspect schools, moved to Zhangpu from Yin Shan to escape the "young crop debt". ?
Reproduction and development?
Shi Lang, the ancestor of Shanghang Gao, was surnamed Qi. In the second year of Yuan Shizu (1296), he moved to Lanxi Kaiji and married Shen Shi, Tong and other families. He has four sons: Bai Yilang, Bai Erlang, Bai Sabang and Bai Shirang. After Gao died, he was buried in Huangtan Village, Longxi. Lang in white, Gao Cheng, Shili. In the second year of Thai (1325), he was admitted as a scholar and served as a soldier in Chaozhou. Later, he abandoned his official position and went into business. His descendants lived in Meixian, Xingning, Wuhua and Tai Po in Guangdong. Bai Erlang was born in a city, and all his descendants emigrated except in Shanghang. His grandson Gao Zaiming worked in Chaozhou Prefecture in the 13th year of Hongwu (1380) and took a fancy to the topography and geomantic omen of Jieyang Tangkeng. So, he moved to Tangkeng. When Shiro's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great- The ninth generation of Shiro, Sun Fucong, moved to Hexi Village, Yongding. Bai's descendants have moved to Fenghenggang, Chadi Gaowu, Baisha and Zhongdu, Xiushui, Jiangxi and other places.

First, the source of Mao surname
The birthplace of Mao Shi is the Mao Kingdom acquired by his son. According to research, Guo Mao is located in Yiyang, Henan Province today. Based on this, the surname Mao spread to other places step by step, and soon developed in Xihe, Shanxi (now Yangcheng, Shanxi) and Xingyang, Henan. After that, it spread to the whole country as the center.
Another source of Mao's surname is Zhou Wuwang's relegation to Maoyi, namely Lingbao, Yiyang, Henan. Yong is the son of Count Zhou Wenwang, who is called Bo Yong. His grandson also takes the city as his surname. These two Mao surnames actually come from the same source, and they are both descendants of the surname Mao.
This descendant of Zhou Wenwang has met many famous people in our history. Mao Gongheng of the Zhou Dynasty came first, then Mao Sui of the Warring States, and Mao Heng, the great Mao Gong, and Scarpaka, the little Mao Gong, who passed on the Book of Songs.
Second, the change of Mao surname.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were also ethnic minorities in Mao Shi. This is what "A Textual Research on Surnames" said: "There must be Shi Mao as the chief and Mao as the key. Shi Mao, who lives in the north, moved to the south of the Yangtze River. According to later scholars' research, it was in the Han and Tang Dynasties. A man named Mao moved from the Central Plains to Longcheng, Jizhou, Jiangxi (Jishui, Jiangxi), and then developed and multiplied here. Some of them moved to Lancang Wei (now Lancang County) in Yunnan under the leadership of Mao Taihua. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Taihua led his eldest son, Mao Qingyi, and his fourth son, Mao Qingsi, to be an official in the north, and lived in Feizai (now near Xiangxiang Railway Station) outside the north gate of Xiangxiang, Hunan. More than ten years later, Mao Qingyi and Mao Qingsi moved to the thirty-ninth capital of Xiangtan (now Shaoshan) and finally settled here. Soon, another Mao surname moved here under the leadership of Mao Mingchuan. From then on, the above two people named Mao lived and multiplied in Shaoshan, Hunan Province, and worked silently. It was not until Mao Taihua was handed down for 20 generations that Mao Zedong, an outstanding figure who rewrote the history of China, appeared.
Today, by population, Mao's surname ranks 76th among 100 most popular surnames.
Third, Mao's celebrity effect.
The earliest celebrity surnamed Mao was the famous counselor Mao Sui. Mao Sui, a native of Zhao in the Warring States Period, was a diner of Ping Yuanjun's family, and was always ignored. In the ninth year of Zhao (257 BC), the State of Qin surrounded Handan and asked the State of Chu for help. He recommended himself to go with him. The negotiation between Ping Yuanjun and the King of Chu is beside the point. In times of crisis, Mao Sui was fearless and outspoken, and persuaded the King of Chu to agree with Zhao Chu. Ping Yuanjun Zhao Sheng sighed and said, "I never dare to be a fortuneteller again. There are thousands of winners, ranging from a few hundred. People who think they can't lose the world are all lost by Mr. Mao. When Mr. Mao arrived in Chu, Zhao was more important than Jiuding Road. Teacher Mao's golden tongue is better than a million teachers. I won't dare to go back to my face. " Mao Sui stood out and was treated as a VIP by Ping Yuanjun.
In the Han and Yuan Dynasties, there was a painter named Mao Yanshou. Legend has it that there were too many concubines in the Han and Yuan Dynasties, and Mao Yanshou and others were ordered to draw portraits of ladies-in-waiting for the emperor to choose. Many ladies-in-waiting compete to bribe painters in order to get Yuan Di's favor. Only Wang Zhaojun of Wang Qiang refused to do such a thing. As a result, she failed to meet the son of heaven. Later, Han married the Huns, and Wang Zhaojun was chosen to be Attila's wife in Saibei. When he left, Yuan Di summoned him and found that he was the most beautiful imperial secretary, but he had promised the Xiongnu, but he could only give up what he wanted. Later, Yuan Di investigated the matter carefully, so he beheaded Mao Yanshou and others and abandoned them in the market.
During the Western Han Dynasty, two poets, Mao Heng and Scapharca subcrenata, also appeared. Mao Heng is said to be a native of Lu in the Western Han Dynasty (the county now governs Qufu, Shandong Province), and the other is Hejian (the county now governs the southeast of xian county, Hebei Province). It is said that he was the pioneer of the study of "Mao Poetry School" in China's classical works, and once wrote "Biography of Mao Poetry" as a gift to Scapharca subcrenata, which was called "Big Mao Gong" in history. Mao Ji was a native of Zhao in the Western Han Dynasty (the county is now southwest of Handan, Hebei Province). It is said that his poetics originated from Mao Heng, who once offered Dr. Wang to Hejian, and was called "Little Mao Gong" in history.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a peasant rebel general named Mao Gui (? ~ 1359). In the spring of the third year of Longfeng (1357), he led his troops to Jiaozhou and Laizhou (now Ye County, Shandong Province), and then invaded Yidu by sea. In summer, Liu Futong led the East Route Army to sweep across the north in three ways. The following year, he founded Binxing Hospital and elected officials in Qingzhou, Cangzhou, Luchang and Jinan. Reclaiming land, the government and the people are required to levy two levies to fill the needs of the army. On the contrary, it conquered Jizhou (now Jixian County, Tianjin) and pointed its edge at the Yuan capital, which shocked the court. He was later killed by Zhao Junyong.
In the Ming dynasty, there was a bibliophile named (1599 ~ 1659), whose prefix was gold. Formerly known as Feng Bao, the word Zi Jiu. People from Changshu, Jiangsu. The collection of books reached more than 84,000 volumes, which was similar to that of Mr. Mao Zedong later. Most of the golden retriever's books are engraved in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and there is a collection of Jiguge. Editing and engraving Thirteen Classics, Seventeen History, Jin Shuji, Sixty Kinds of Songs, etc. This is the largest number of private engravings in all previous dynasties. Hao Chao recorded a rare secret book, which was well written. Later generations called him "Mao Chao". He wrote "Hidden Lake Inscription" and edited "Shi Mao Lu Shu Yao Guang".
Compare Ming history with Song history.

Shi Mao's genealogy says that "in the 21st century, it spread to Bo Wengong, and the official reached Prince Taibao and Ministry of War Shangshu", which shows that he is related to Shaoshan Mao Shi. The "21st century" here is about 500 years from Shi Mao in Jishui, Jiangxi, to Mao Rang, the minister of the Song Ministry of Industry, and then to Mao Bowen (from the Northern Song Dynasty to the middle and late Ming Dynasty).
