Zhou Wuwang married his eldest daughter, Tai Ji, to Mann, and prepared three gifts to commemorate Yu Shun. Chen Jiandu (now Huxiang Town, Zhecheng County, Henan Province), known in history, later moved to Wanqiu (now Chengguan District, Huaiyang County, Henan Province), which governs the most of the 14 cities and is roughly a part of eastern Henan and central Anhui.

Migration distribution
In the pre-Qin period, Chen mainly lived in Henan, Anhui, Hubei and other places. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Chen had set foot in Hunan, Jiangsu, Shanxi, Shandong and other places.
At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and residents moved south in succession. Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi are the main areas where Chen moved back. At the same time, the most popular surnames in the Central Plains, such as Lin, Huang, Chen and Zheng, took the lead in entering Fujian. During the Southern Dynasties, Chen had become one of the four surnames in Fujian, mainly a descendant of Yingchuan School. Michael Chan's tenth grandson, Chen Baxian, went to Nanjing to establish the Chen Dynasty, known as Chen Wudi in history. During the Southern Dynasties, the State of Chen created many Wang surnamed Chen, and their descendants spread all over the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, which played an extremely important role in the development of the surname Chen in Southeast China.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, with Gushi as the main force, Zheng Chen, Chen Yuanguang and his son led fifty-eight surnames to enter Fujian via Jiangxi. Four generations of grandparents and grandchildren have always been the chief executive of Zhangzhou, and later generations are honored as "kings", and their descendants have become the main factions of Chen in Fujian, Guangdong, Taiwan and Nanyang islands. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, a large number of people from Gushi, Wang Jianli and Fujian, once again immigrated to Fujian. Since then, Chen has become the first surname in Southeast China.
