"Xi" was the name of the person, and the real name should be Ji Xi, or Ji Xi. His official position was Yin, who was responsible for guarding Hannaniguan, so it was historically called "Guan Yinxi".Legend has it that when the Taoist patriarch Li Xi traveled to Guan, he was moved by Guan Yinxi's warm hospitality, so he wrote the famous Taoist Canon of 5,000 words for him.Guan Yinxi wrote this transcription as the "Moral Sutra" after it spread in the world, and also resigned from his official position to follow Lao Tzu's teachings.Later, Guan Yinxi became an immortal and flew away. Among the descendants and clansmen of Guan Yinxi, many people used the official title of their ancestors as their surname, called Guan Yin and Guan Yang. Later, they simplified and separated two single surnames, Guan Yin, which have been passed down from generation to generation.
