They came from Ji's surname, which was destroyed by King Zhou Wen and Chu Ling, and later took the country as their surname. History says Lai is authentic. It's for Lai in Henan. 2, from the surname Jiang, a descendant of Emperor Yan Shennong. According to legend, there are four descendants of Emperor Yan, belonging to four clans and tribes of the ancient Qiang people. One of them is Shanshi Lie. In ancient times, there was a strong connection with Litong, but also a sound of Lai, so Shanshi Lie, Lishan and Laishan were all the same. In ancient times, Shanshi Lie lived in Fenshui Valley, Shanxi Province, and later a branch moved eastward. In Shang Dynasty, Laiguo was established in Lixiang County, Henan Province, and attached to Shang Dynasty. When Zhou Wuwang attacked the merchants, Lai people moved south, and later accepted the title of viscount of Zhou Wuwang as Lai Ziguo. In the four years of Lu Zhaogong in the Spring and Autumn Period, King Chu Ling destroyed it, and his people moved to Yanzhi. His descendants took the country as their surname and called it Lai. It's for Lai in Hubei or Henan.
Migration and distribution
Lai lived in Yanling area in the early days, mainly in present-day Henan province, and then formed noble families in Yingzhou County, Henan County and Hanoi County. Due to the official position and war, one of Lai's families in Yingzhou moved to the south of the Yangtze River, distributed in some places in Jiangxi, Fujian, Hunan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangzhou and other provinces, and another moved to Shaanxi. Lai's Genealogy in Jiaoling, Guangdong Province and Lai's Origin in Xingning respected Shu Ying as the 14th grandson of Lai's ancestor, who called Lai Xian Shu Ying. The 22nd Sun Lai Shen of Shu Ying was born in Buju Fengning (now Xixiang, Shaanxi). The 25th grandson of Shu Ying, Lai Zhong, settled in Songyang (now Suichang, Zhejiang). Sun Lai Shuo, the 3th grandson of Shu Ying, moved to Ningdu, Jiangxi in the late Song and Yuanjia Dynasties. His third son Lai Can gave birth to seven sons, which branched into Hunan, Fujian, Jiangxi and Jiangsu provinces, forming some tribes: the eldest son Lai Zhao moved to Wucun, Huitong (now Henan), the second son Lai De moved to Gutian, Shanghang, Fujian, the third son Lai Ming moved to Le 'an, Yihuang, Jiangxi, and the fourth son Lai Qing and his descendants moved to Longnan, Jiangxi. Lai Shuo also has a grandson named Lai Ding, who settled in Tanzhou (now Changsha, Hunan) as an official. Lai Biao, Ryder's eldest son, moved from Gutian, Shanghang to Shibi Village, Ninghua County, Fujian Province, and his 11th grandson Lai Chaomei moved to Tanghu, Yongding County, Fujian Province; the other two 11th grandsons Lai Zuhua and Lai Zusan moved from Shibi, Ninghua, to Chengxiang (now Meizhou, Guangdong Province) in the early Ming Dynasty, and later he gave birth to Jiaoling, Pingyuan and other tribes. Lai's genealogy also records that some Lai clans changed their surnames to Luo and Fu in order to avoid the harm of King Chu Ling. Most Lai people in Sichuan and Yunnan are integrated into Achang nationality. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Lai Yun crossed the sea from Zhangzhou, Fujian to Taichung to start a base. Since then, some Lai people from Fujian and Guangdong have moved to Taiwan Province one after another, and some have moved overseas to make a living in Singapore and other places.
