The origin of the He family?
Origin 1
Jin was a vassal state in the early Zhou Dynasty. The first king was Tang Shuyu, whose surname was Ji, his given name was Yu, and his given name was Ziqian. He was the son of King Wu of Zhou and the younger brother of King Cheng of Zhou. He was granted a title in this place in the Tang Dynasty. The son of Yu "Xie's father thought that there was Jinshui in the south of Yao's ruins, so he changed his name to Jinhou" (see Mao's poetry book). King Wu of Zhou's wife was the daughter of Jiang Taigong and was revered as the Holy Mother by later generations. When King Wu of Zhou was meeting his wife Yi Jiang Huan, he once dreamed that the Emperor of Heaven said to him: I will let you have a son named Yu, and in the future you can grant him the title of Tang Kingdom. Later, when the fetus was born, there was indeed the character "Yu" on the palm of his hand, so he was named Yu and became known as Shu Yu. Among the three characters "Tang Shu Yu", Tang is the name of the feudal land, Shu is the rank, and Yu is the given name, which is the surname Ji.
The famous book on surnames in the Tang Dynasty, "The Compilation of Yuanhe Surnames" records: "The descendant of King Zhou Cheng, Tang Shuyu, and his grandson Han Wangan were destroyed by Qin, and their descendants were scattered across the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. Their pronunciation was Han, so their surname was."

Origin 2
According to "Research on Shang and Zhou Family Patterns": He surname, "inscribed on bronzes in the late Shang Dynasty, is the surname of relatives of the Shang royal family with different surnames." There are also oracle bone inscriptions that record which tribes participated in the sacrifice.
There is also the surname He from the ethnic minorities. In the Western Regions of China during the Han and Tang Dynasties, there was the Kangju regime established by the Yuezhi people. They originally lived in Zhaowu City in the north of the Qilian Mountains. They were later defeated by the Huns. They crossed the Congling Mountains to the west and established the Kang State, which became increasingly powerful. Mi, Shi, Cao, He, An, Xiao'an, Nasebo, Unachang, Mu and other regimes successively surrendered to Kang State, and all took Zhaowu as their surname to show that they did not forget their roots. Historically known as the "Nine Zhaowu Surnames", "He" is one of them.
Origin 3
It comes from changing his surname. "Hanshu·Wuxingzhi" says: In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a person named He Miao, whose original surname was Zhu. Later, he claimed to be surnamed He, and his descendants multiplied and became a branch of the surname He. "Surname Genealogy" records: The descendants of the fierce slave Chanyu in the Han Dynasty had the surname "He Nai" after returning to the Han Dynasty, and were also written as the surname "He Nai". In the Jin Dynasty, there was a general under the Mu Wang Jun of Youzhou who was named "He Nai" "Tiger". There are also compound surnames such as "He Ba", "He Ju", "He Lang", "He Lu" and "He Qiu". In addition, the boy He described in He Huangzhong should have the surname Ji of He. In addition, there is also the He surname in the branch of Shang's surname. The Dutch surname Bosman was changed to He. In the late Qing Dynasty, Ho Sze Man, a Dutch Jew who came to Hong Kong to develop, his original Dutch surname was Bosman in Chinese. The Cantonese pronunciation of Bosman is Boss-e-man and the transliteration in Cantonese is "Ho Sze Man" (Cantonese pinyin Ho Sze Man). There is also speculation that He Shiwen was It shows that he is from the Netherlands, so his Chinese surname is "He" which is the same as the Dutch "He". See the He Qidong family for details.

Aohe, also known as Ao'e, was the name of female officials during the Han Dynasty, and later became the title of concubines in the Western Han Dynasty.

Aohe was in charge of the affairs of the inner palace and had a very high status. His official rank was comparable to that of a second-grade official with a rank of two thousand shi. It is recorded in the historical book "Six Types of Han Officials·Old Rituals of Han Officials·Supplement": "The rank of Suo'e is higher than that of the generals and the imperial censors. Everyone calls her 'Aohe'. The rank of Suohe won two thousand stones."
