Chen's surname comes from Yao's surname or Gui's surname and Ji's surname. It is the surname used by the descendants of Yu Shun, the descendant of Zhuan Xu, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor. Yu Shun, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, was born in, so his surname is Yao. According to Tongzhi? Genealogy records: After the destruction of Shang Dynasty and the establishment of Zhou Dynasty, it was found that Gui Man, the 34th generation descendant of Shun, was the king of Wu. Feng Guiman was a vassal and married his eldest daughter, Tai Ji. Feng-Chen (now Huaiyang County, Henan Province) was named. In this place, the State of Chen was established. The descendants of Manchu people take the country as their surname, which is the origin of Chen's surname. Taking the country as the surname, the ancestor who used Chen's surname was Hu Gongman, and the use of Chen's surname mainly began at the beginning of Zhou Dynasty. Chen Hu Gongman is a descendant of Yu Shunyao, one of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Before Shun was chosen as Yao's successor, Yao asked Shun to move to Gui River to inspect him, so some descendants of Shun took the river where they lived as their surname. Some people who changed their surnames were Yao's and some were not, so they developed other surnames. For example, in the Book of the Tang Dynasty, the surname Chen changed back to the surname Yao: Hu Gonggui, a descendant of Shun, was sealed in Chen, and it was not until Chen (Chen Wan) became a gentleman that he changed back to Tian. Wang Mang named Tian Feng as the generation of Emperor Gan and Tian Feng as Yao. Later, in order to avoid the chaos of Wang Mang, Feng crossed the river and moved to Wujun, changing his surname to Guifu, and the five generations of grandchildren changed back to Yao. From Yao's surname to Gui's surname, and then to Hu Gongman 10, the son of Sun Guiduan and Chen was afraid of implicating himself, and he started his career in Qi, taking the old country as his surname, saying that Chen and Chen Wan settled in Qi and changed his surname to Chen Weitian. By the tenth generation of Sun Tian, it had been abandoned. This is the famous "Seven Generals of China" in history. In 22 1 year BC, the King of Qi was established and the State of Qi was destroyed by the State of Qin. After the establishment and subjugation of the State of Qi, descendants took refuge in succession, and the family experienced another great division. Tian is ranked 34th among the most popular surnames in China. The three sons of the King of Qi are Sheng, Huan and Qi. Sheng and Huan changed their surnames to Wang, and their descendants were Wang Mang family in Han Dynasty, which was a great source. After visiting relatives in Chu, he moved to Yingchuan (now Changge, Henan). Tianfu surnamed Chen. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, a branch of the Chen family in Yingchuan, the Tian family, has been very prominent in the history of China. As mentioned earlier, Gui family was derived from Yao family, and later changed to Chen family and Hu family. Some Chen's surname was changed to Tian's surname, and some Tian's family was changed to Gui's surname. Sun Guifu changed his surname to Yao in the Five Dynasties, and some Tian changed his surname. Other surnames from Yao nationality have not changed the original surnames of Hui nationality, so they continue to develop other surnames.
