During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, from Qi Huangong to Maiqiu, there was an 83-year-old man who celebrated the birthday of Huan Gong. Qi Huangong gave the old man the fief "Maiqiu", and the descendants of the old man also took the fief "Maiqiu" as their surname. Later, with the change of history, he went to Qiu for Mai, changed his surname to Shan, and called Mai.

2, from the Han surname, changed wheat because of relying on the wheat field. At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, Han Xin was murdered by Lv Hou for offering a plan to Gao Zhen, involving nine clans, and the people fled for their lives. On the way to escape, someone survived crossing the river, so he changed the homonym "he" to "he" and called it "why".

According to Mai's genealogy, "Those who had iron staffs in the Sui Dynasty marched to Liaodong in the east, and made repeated military exploits, reaching the rank of General Shitun. I traveled hundreds of miles a day and had three battles with Mai, only to be an official. " In the Sui Dynasty, what was the name of the father of the iron staff, Zeng Wei?

According to the genealogy of Mai family, historical records and the collection of genealogy data of Mai family, this paper introduces the origin of Mai family, and explains the origin of more than five surnames of Mai family. According to the records of Mai's genealogy or today's place names, when Mai moved south from Zhuji Lane to the Pearl River Delta was inconsistent. For example, it was recorded in Shaoxing, Shaoding, Kathy and Xianchun Dynasties, but "if the genealogy of other families is taken as a test, the ancestors of Iraq fled to Yagong and stayed in Shaoxing for six years (1 136)." Wu was born in Yuanfeng, Northern Song Dynasty, and the official surnames contained in each spectrum are more consistent with those of Hui, Qin and Gao.

At the same time, the Mai family in Kuo Village is adjacent to the Chen family in daling village, and the events in the two villages coincide. Qing Qianlong's "Heshan County Records" contains: "In the first year of Emperor Min's auspicious prosperity (1278), in summer and June, the Emperor sailed to the yamen, and the Emperor Min was stationed in the yamen, requiring more than 200,000 militiamen. Chen and Chen Ying, from Daling, were assisted by Gao Zongchao, who was the admonition officer. They owe their country, even their loyalty to the king, and they have paid thousands of stones to the army. "The genealogy of the above article reads:" Mai Bixiong lived in Xinhui, and when he became emperor, he went out to help the poor. "That is to say, Michael is the offspring of BiXiong gong. Later, Mai family was a branch, living in Sihe Daping, Daguantian (old village and new village in Wu Mai), Shangmaifu, Xiamaifu and Shashi Ershui in he cheng. In this way, Mai Jia walked out of an ancient alley, went to the Pearl River Delta, went to all countries in the world, and went to the big stage of modern society (omitted).
