The origin of the surname Ju
The surname Ju has two origins:
1. It comes from the surname Ji, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor.

The abandoned son Bucheng had a son named Tao. When he was born, the palm prints on his hands looked like the ancient Chinese character "Ju", so he named him Ju Tao. Ju Tao later became the leader of the Zhou people, and his descendants took Ju as their surname and recognized Ju Tao as the ancestor of the Ju surname.

Qi's son Bucheng had a son named Tao. When he was born, the palm writing on his hand resembled the ancient Chinese character "Ju", so he was named Ju Tao.

(Our family tree records are quite different from the above)
1. Tracing the roots
1. The surname Ju: The ancestor of the surname Ju is the Western Zhou Dynasty According to legend, the ancestor lived in Ju Tao, Qingyang, Gansu Province in the 16th century BC. There are two historical records of the great ancestor with the surname Ju. One is Ju Yu, a student of Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period during the reign of Duke Jinggong of Qi (540 BC). The second is Ji Sheng, the son of King Yan Yi in the late Warring States Period (some say Prince Sheng, 320 BC). According to some genealogical records of the Ju surname, their surname was Ji Sheng, the son of King Yan Yi, who abandoned Ji and changed his name to Ju. The famous Warring States Period During this period, Ju Wu, the tutor of Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom, was the great-grandson of Ju Shenggong; Ju Zhongmou (985 AD), a Jinshi of Yongxi in the Song Dynasty, was their 30th generation ancestor; based on this inference, there should be approximately 76 generations from Ju Sheng to the present (Note: Confucius has been passed down for 83 generations, and the intervals between each generation are relatively consistent with this). Among the above two sources, the derivation and migration of Ju language cannot be verified, while the derivation and migration of Ju Sheng are roughly as follows: Jicheng - Xiangping - Jicheng - Runan - Donglai - Shanyang ——Dengzhou. The ancestors recorded in historical records who lived in Donglai from the late Western Jin Dynasty to the late Northern Song Dynasty include Ju Xian, Ju Peng, Ju Yin, Ju Zhang, Ju Yanzeng, Ju Yanyun, Ju Zhen, Ju Qingsun, Ju Chang, Ju Zhongmou, etc.
2. Ju Tan, the minister of Emperor Ai of the Western Han Dynasty, was demoted and "refugeed in Huangzhong" due to the incident of "Wang Hushan Erecting Stones in Dongping". During the 500 years after he changed his surname to Qu, Ju Tan's descendants lived in Jincheng ( Today's Lanzhou) and Xiping (today's Xining) have achieved great development and become local wealthy families.
There emerged famous generals such as Qu Yi, Qu Yan (Yan), and Qu Yun, as well as the powerful King Qu Jia of Gaochang. The surname Qu later evolved into the surname Qu and became an important source of the modern surname Qu. This is the origin of the name "Dead Ju and Live Qu" in Shandong.
