Local Surnames

Derived from Yantijan's surname, belonging to the tribe name as the surname. Long before Yellow Emperor, there was a tribe that belonged to the surname of Jiang, and this tribe used Yunyu as a totem.Yan Yu is a kind-hearted divine beast in ancient mythology. According to legend, it is a tiger head, a white-haired black grain, a long tail, and a benevolent nature. Even the grass can't step on it. It only eats animals that die naturally.The "Shan Hai Jing" records: "The great tiger, the colorful finishing tool, the tail is longer than the body, the name is Yuyu, traveling thousands of miles in the day."It is said that it is the size of a tiger, the fur is five-color pattern, the tail is longer than the body, called Yuyu, riding it can travel thousands of miles a day.In ancient times, "Yu" and "Wu" were pronounced the same, and later turned into a homophone, and the characters were similar and could be used universally.At the time of the Warring States Period, "Yu" and "Wu" began to be used separately.Therefore, this tribe called the totem "Wu", and also "Wu" as the name of the tribe. The people of the Wu tribe were brave and tough, and they were good at hunting.The leader of the tribe was Wu Quan, a minister of Emperor Yan.It needs to be explained that the Flame Emperor is a title or position that is held by different generations of people.The Flame Emperor at the same time as the Yellow Emperor was the last Flame Emperor. The Wu tribe is active in the Jiangshui area (east of Yushan, Shaanxi). The place where they live is called Wu Shan.Among the descendants of Wu Quan was a woman named Wu Xu, who married Shaodian of the Bear Tribe and gave birth to a son, who later became the Yellow Emperor. During the Xia Dynasty, the Wu tribe migrated to Guanjin (now east of Wuyi, Hebei).During the Xia Wang Shaokang period, the Wu tribe had a person named Wu He, who was famous for being good at archery, and was comparable to the divine archer at that time.This person from Jiang's tribe, who later adopted Wu as his surname, has a history of more than 5,000 years.
