For example, the Yu family in Zhenxiong County, Yunnan Province, whose original compound surname was Tiemu, is evidenced by a poem: "Yu Ben was the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty and was deported to the west ... The words in the prequel poem are like this, and the descendants will meet in their own homes" (see Yu's genealogy).

Get the surname Yu Yu, ancestor. During the Spring and Autumn Period, doctors in the State of Qin were also in surplus. Their ancestors were originally Jin people and fled to Xirong (the collective name of ancient northwest ethnic minorities). After serving in Xirong, he was ordered to go to Qin. Seeing Qin Mugong's virtue and generosity, he left Qin as a relative and won the trust of Mu Gong. As one of many vassal states, the Qin Dynasty was not prominent. After Yu Yu became a supernatant, it was not expected by Mu Gong. He helped Qin Mugong plan to attack Xirong, destroy twelve countries, expand thousands of miles and dominate Xirong, and finally made Qin Mugong one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period. Yu once laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of Qin and the unification of the world, and later generations were proud of it, so they took his word as their surname and respected him as their ancestor.
The State of Qin, which propagated and migrated in the Spring and Autumn Period, made its capital in Yong (now southeast of Fengxiang, Shaanxi), occupying the central part of Shaanxi and the southeast end of Gansu. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the descendants of Yu Yu should breed in this area. After the Qin and Han dynasties, the Yu clan moved eastward, and one moved to Shaanxi (now Shaanxi County, Sanmenxia City, Henan Province); One species moved to the south of the Yangtze River, mainly breeding in Anhui today. In the north and south of China, the descendants of Yu basically multiply and grow at the same time, but the development trend in the north is much weaker than that in the south. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the surname Yu had become a famous family in Xin 'an County. At this time, the war in the north continued and the society was in turmoil. For the first time, the gentry in the Central Plains began to move south, and Yu's place was just in the middle, so it was inevitable to move south. One of the tribes named Yu continued to go south and entered Hubei and Hunan. Yu Qi, a native of Jinling (now Changzhou, Jiangsu Province) in the Southern Song Dynasty, is famous for his filial piety. He was the only person named Yu who went down in history before the Tang Dynasty. After the Tang Dynasty, the Yu family developed rapidly and gradually formed two big noble families in the southeast. In the early Tang Dynasty, father and son opened in Fujian, and a surname Yu followed them to settle in Fujian. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Gao Yu, a native of Jianyang (now Fujian), took refuge in Putian when Huang Chao captured Jianzhou, and later reclaimed Hushan to the end. Also, Yu Yuan went north from Tongan, Fujian to Shaowu, and then moved to Wuxi, Qujiang County, Shaozhou (now Guangdong Province) during the Guangqi period, which was the ancestor of Yu's entry into Guangdong. Shortly thereafter, Yu Yuanhai's second son Yu Xianhai moved to Changsha, Hunan, his third son Yu Zhou moved to Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and his eldest son Yu Cong stayed there. The descendants of his three sons also moved to Fengxin, Linchuan, Jiangxi, Wuhua, Meizhou, Tai Po, Pingyuan and Haifeng, Guangdong. In the Song Dynasty, Yu's family basically spread all over the country, and talented people came forth in large numbers. During the Hongwu period of Ming Dynasty, Yu, as one of the surnames of the locust tree people who moved to Hongdong, moved to Shaanxi, Gansu, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hebei, Anhui and other places. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Yu family not only spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, but also flourished in the north. In the Qing Dynasty, Yu moved from Fujian to Taiwan Province Province, and later some people moved overseas. Today, the Yu family is widely distributed, especially in Sichuan, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Henan, Hubei, Anhui and other provinces. The above seven provinces account for about 77% of the total population of Han nationality.
In the process of long-term reproduction and relocation, the appearance of Yu's county is as follows: 1, Xin 'an County, which was newly established in Jin Dynasty (now Chun 'anxi, Zhejiang Province), and later moved to Shexian County in Sui Dynasty (now Anhui Province); 2. Xiapi County (now northwest of Suining, Jiangsu Province) where the government is located; 3. Wu Zhi is located in Wucheng (now Zhejiang Wu); 4. Levin County, located in Levin (now Zhan County, Hebei Province); 5. Wuxi County, where Zhizhi is located, is located in Gancheng County, Hunan Province.

Where are the ancestors of the Yu family? According to Historical Records of Yu Benji and related materials, there are many opinions: ① Miao people have made great contributions to the country and gained great fame. After his death, his descendants took his ancestral name as surname, which was the beginning of Yu's origin (see Yu Tang Genealogy and historical materials about Yu's origin). (2) According to legend, Dayu's third son was also named Han, and he was made king. Later, his descendants took Yu as their surname. It is also said that he is the illegitimate son of Sun Shaokang, a descendant of Dayu, and was named King Yue. His descendants are also called Yu. (For details, please refer to "Journal of Hong Zongqin Association 1975 ~ 1978" for the introduction of hundreds of surnames broadcast by Taipei China Radio Station). (3) It is said that Thailand, new york, Malaysia, Keelung City, Taiwan Province Province and other places have established clan associations with surnames such as Xu, Yu, Tu and She, and that Xu, Yu, Tu and She come from the same family (see "Special Issue on the 15th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Xu Clan Association in Thailand" published by 1980).
As for the statement that "Yu's family originated from Dayu" and "Xu, Yu, Tu and She came from the same family", it can't be denied for the time being, and it needs to be clarified and revealed by people of insight. It is well-founded and reasonable to think that it is the beginning of the Yu family. For example, Ouyang Xiu's "Epitaph of Xiangjing" praised Xianggong as "well-read, able to remember, able to quote historical records of past dynasties ... is pervasive." It can be seen that Xiang Gong's erudition is an expert in history. He wrote an article in Preface to the History of Yu Family, saying, "According to the ancestor of Yu, it came from Xuantao, the son of the Yellow Emperor, and was abandoned by three generations. In the last thirty generations, a Miao named Yu Yu and Yu Yu died. Later, descendants took Wang Fu as their surname and yeyu as their surname, which was the beginning of this family. According to Searching for Surnames, Yu's surname comes after Qin Youyu (see Ci Yuan and Kangxi Dictionary). Therefore, it is certain that the descendants of Yin Gong are all descendants of Qin Youyu, that is, from Wang Wen.
