According to the historical records Yuan He Xing Bian and Shang Shu, * * * * Gong is a descendant of the ancient Emperor Yan, and he managed the world's water conservancy in the Yellow Emperor's period and was honored as the water god. The descriptions in the history books: "* * * workers, human faces, snake bodies and laws" are beautiful descriptions of * * * workers. The activity center of Gugong clan is in the middle reaches of the big river (Yellow River) and the Yishui and Luohe river basins.
According to ancient records, during the reign of Emperor Zhuan Xu, * * * began to compete with Zhuan Xu for the world, but failed. Legend has it that in a rage, * * * workers pushed down the mountains supporting heaven and earth in the northwest, causing the sky to fall and triggering the flood era, so they were expelled from the Central Plains.
* * * In order not to let future generations forget that he is a water god, Gong added the radical "ju" beside his name "* * *" to form the word "Hong", which was left to future generations as his surname, so some of his descendants took it as their surname and passed it on from generation to generation. There are many people in the Hong family who respect workers as the ancestors of the Hong family.
