Ray's surname comes from three sources:

1, from the family, followed by the ninth generation of the Shennong family, taking the country name as the surname. According to Yuan He's Genealogy and A Brief History of Genealogy, Lei Fang was the ninth grandson of Shennong, Yan Di, and was sealed by the Yellow Emperor in Fangshan (in Songshan, north-central Henan) to establish a vassal state. His son and grandson took the country name as their surname, and the compound surname was Fang. Later, it was divided into two branches, one surnamed Fang and the other surnamed Lei.

2. Starting from the Yellow Emperor, there was a courtier named Lei Gong, and later he took his ancestral name as his surname. According to Xingyuan, Lei is an ancient surname. According to legend, there was a minister in the Yellow Emperor named Lei Gong, who was a famous doctor and proficient in medical skills. He once discussed medical theory with the Yellow Emperor. According to Su Wen's Theory of Zhuzi's Religion, "The Yellow Emperor sat in the hall and called Lei Gong to ask him." Yin has a favorite, that is. Later generations took Lei as their surname.

3, from other ethnic groups and ethnic minorities with Lei surname:

According to the research of surnames (the same below), at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, during the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were "Feishanren" and "Nan 'an Qiang" who changed their surnames to Lei. They have been completely sinicized gradually. After such a long time, they are now integrated with the Han nationality, and they can no longer tell each other apart.

⑥ Today, Zhuang, Miao, Yi, Yao, Shui, Achang, She, Qiang, Tujia, Mongolian, Hui and other ethnic groups all have the surname of Lei.

Ancestor: Lei Fang. When the ninth generation grandson of Yandi Shennong and Huangdi hacked Chiyou, the two sides fought fiercely in Zhuolu, and Lei bravely killed the enemy, regardless of life and death, helping Huangdi to eliminate Chiyou and make great contributions. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Yellow Emperor rewarded him for his meritorious service and sealed the thunder in Fangshan (roughly in the south of Yexian County and the northeast of Fangcheng County in Henan Province). His family, known as the Lei Fang family, was one of the ancient vassal states. There are some Lei's descendants. They are revered as the ancestor of Lei's surname.

Second, migration distribution.

Lei's ancestral home is in the Central Plains. During the eight hundred years from the Zhou Dynasty to the Qin Dynasty, there was no Lei family in history, which may be due to the lack of celebrities in this period. In the early development, the above-mentioned Lei surnames were all independent and clearly defined, and one of them came from a tribe. Later, in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, famous figures such as "Similar" appeared one after another. According to the data in this issue, Lei's family has moved to the land of Chu and Han in ancient times, that is, Jiangxi, Hubei, Anhui, Sichuan and other places today. Since then, after continuous reproduction and migration, and their descendants formed a large family in Jiangxi during the Jin Dynasty, which was called "Lei Yu" in history. Later it spread to the north and south. One of the descendants moved to Fengyi (now Dali, Shaanxi) and later developed into a famous local family, so Lei took Fengyi as the county name and hall number. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Lei developed in both the north and the south, but they all developed independently on the basis of Feng Yi. It was not until the Sui and Tang Dynasties that they gradually migrated, developed and merged together for some special reasons. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, Leishi was more widely distributed, such as Inner Mongolia, Guangdong, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Shanxi and other places. Among them, some Lei surnames who migrated to Jiangnan and Lingnan were integrated into Miao, Yao, Yi, Dong, She, Zhuang, Li and Buyi ethnic groups. Among the Yao and She nationalities, the surname Lei is the most popular. They have their own genealogy, and some promising figures have appeared. Lei surname of Yao nationality is widely distributed in Guangxi, such as Lingui, Lingchuan and Chengbu, and many of them respect Lei Yuanxiang as their ancestor. Of course, this is because of the chaos in the north, and the Leishi people have to breed more in the relatively stable south. During the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, Lei moved to Shaanxi, Gansu, Hunan, Shandong, Henan, Hebei and other places. From the middle of Ming Dynasty to the middle of Qing Dynasty, Lei's family was more widely distributed, and some people emigrated overseas. Today, Lei's family is widely distributed all over the country, especially in Sichuan, Hubei, Shaanxi and other provinces. Lei's family accounts for about 53% of the Han population. Lei is the 88th most popular surname in China, with a large population, accounting for 0.22% of the Han population in China.
