Xu, one of the surnames in China, what is the origin of Xu?

Last name: Xu

Ancestor: Ruomu

Classification: country as surname

Source of surname:

The source of Xu's surname is relatively pure, mainly from the won surname. He is a descendant of Ruomu, the son of Boyi, the great grandson of the first emperor. According to legend, the trapped emperor had a granddaughter named Nvxiu. She had a great career because she ate swallow eggs. Daye married a young woman named Hua and gave birth to Boyi. Boyi actively assisted Dayu in water control. Apart from officially changing his surname to Won, Shundi married his own local woman Yao, and later gave birth to two sons, the youngest of whom was Ruomu. Because of his father's meritorious service, he was named Xu and established Xu Guo. After Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Xu existed as a vassal. Zhou Muwang's era spread to Xu Junyan, and he was the 32nd grandson of Xu Guo. He is very clever and friendly to the people, so he is deeply loved by the people and his national strength is getting stronger and stronger. At that time, Zhou Muwang liked to travel around the world and often didn't ask about state affairs. The governors complained a lot about him, so Xu Junyan had ambitions to replace Zhou Muwang. He claimed to be Xu Yanwang and led the allied forces of various countries to March on Zhou Guo. When Zhou Muwang learned the news, he immediately returned to Beijing and transferred troops to suppress it. Xu Yanwang had to retreat and escape. He hid in the mountains near Pengcheng. Because of his popularity, many people followed him to the mountains. This mountain was later called Xushan, hence the name Xuzhou. Therefore, he had to seal his son to live in Xu, called "Xu Zi", and continue to manage Xu. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Xu was defeated by Chu, and his national strength gradually declined. In the eighth year of Zhou Dynasty, Xu was destroyed by Wu, and Xu's descendants called Xu, taking the country as their surname, and passed it down from generation to generation.
