According to the historical records Yuan He Xing Bian and Shang Shu, Gong Gong is a descendant of the ancient Emperor Yan, and was honored as the water god in the Yellow Emperor's period. The description in the history books: "Gong Gong, human face, snake body and various laws" is a beautiful description of Gong Gong Gong. The activity center of the ancient Gonggong tribe is in the middle reaches of the big river (Yellow River) and the Yishui and Luohe river basins.

According to ancient records, during the reign of Emperor Zhuan Xu, Gonggong began to compete with Zhuan Xu for the world, and later failed. Legend has it that in a rage, Gonggong pushed down the mountain supporting heaven and earth in the northwest, which led to the collapse of the sky and the collapse of the earth, leading to the great flood era, and was expelled from the Central Plains.

In order not to let their descendants forget that they are water gods, Gong Gong added the word "Hong" to his name and left it as his surname. Therefore, some of his descendants took this as their surname and passed it down from generation to generation. Many people in the Hong family respect Gonggong as the ancestor of Hong's surname.
