Yao's surname comes from three sources:
1, from Gui surname. According to the Book of the New Tang Dynasty Prime Minister's Descent Table and Yuan He's Compilation, Shun, one of the five ancient emperors, is a descendant of Emperor Zhuan Xu. Because he was born in Yao Ruins (now south of Fan County in Henan Province and northeast of Heze County in Shandong Province), later generations took his place of residence as their surname. It is said that before Shun ascended the throne, he recommended the history of Tao and Tang to Emperor Yao in April. After he succeeded to the throne, Shun married two daughters and let them live by Gui River. Some of their descendants stayed by Gui River and took Gui as their surname. After King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he found Gui Man, a descendant of Emperor Shun. Married the eldest daughter to Guiman and named him Chen. It was passed on to Zhongjing's family in 2000, and it was renamed Gui to avoid Wang Mang living in Wu. After the fifth generation, it was changed to Yao surname.
2. From the surname. According to "History of the Road", in the Spring and Autumn Period, there were descendants of Shang, surnamed Zi, and later descendants took the country as their surname.
His family changed his surname. According to the Book of Jin, the surname of Yao in Chiting, Nan 'an (now Longxi, Gansu) was originally, and its predecessor was Qiang Tusi. Nuzhen changed Yao's surname in Jin Dynasty; Ming gave fifty surnames to Yao; De Angran is the surname, and the Han surname is Yao; Today, Miao, Shui, Qiang, Lahu, Manchu, Yi, Mongolian, Tujia, Zhuang, Bai and Russia all have this surname.
Ancestor: Yu Shun. Shun is one of the five emperors in ancient times and the leader of tribal alliance in the late patriarchal society. Shun's father was Pian Qing, born in Yaodu ruins, so Shun was also called Yao Shun, and because he came from Yu's family, he was also called Yu Shun. Shun became famous before that day, and Emperor Yao had married his two daughters to him. After Yao's death, Shun ascended the throne and advised him to plant mulberry and run the country well. The descendants of Shun named Yao after the place where Shun was born, and respected Shun as the ancestor of Yao.
Second, migration distribution.
In the early days, due to the lack of family power, the reputation of the Yao family grew slowly. Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yao had migrated to Henan, Shanxi, Guangxi, Sichuan, Zhejiang and other places. After Wang Mang usurped power, Hou Tianfeng's son moved to avoid Wang Mang's chaos and changed his surname to Gui. Later, he was passed on to the fifth generation of his grandson, who became Yao's surname and lived in Wu Kang (now Deqing County, Zhejiang Province), and his descendants remained unchanged. During the Yongjia period of Jin Dynasty, the Chiting people in Nan 'an, led by their leader Yao, moved from Chiting to (present-day Qianyang, Shaanxi), and later moved to Guanzhong in Zhao Dynasty. Later, Yao was appointed as the governor of Xiqiang, and led tens of thousands of Qiang people to live in the source of Qinghe River (now the northeast of Zaoqiang County, Hebei Province). Twenty years later, the fifth son, Yao Xiang, led the troops back to Guanzhong and was killed in Sanyuan. Yao Chang, his younger brother, fell to the former Qin Dynasty and soon entered Chang 'an. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Xing Wu Wukang Yao Monk and his second son Yao Zui entered Chang 'an in the Western Wei Dynasty, and Yao Cha, the eldest son of Yao Monk, was appointed as the official minister. After Chen's death, Yao Cha and Yao Silian were placed in Wannian County, Yongzhou (now northwest of Shaanxi), forming a large local family in the Sui Dynasty. Most Yao surnames in China today come from the above two Yao surnames. Before the Tang Dynasty, they had become prominent families in Xing Wu, Zhejiang and Longxi, Gansu. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, he entered Fujian to open Zhangzhou, and later Yao, a native of Gushi, Gwangju, was in charge of the government soldiers. Shortly after this period, the number of people surnamed Tang increased greatly. In addition to spreading all over the country, Yao also went to Liaoning, and Yao from Shaanxi, Gansu and Henan moved to Yunnan and Sichuan. Among them, Yao 'an, Dayao and other counties in Yunnan have the most Yao surnames, so Tang Wude lived for four years. Therefore, there are many Yao surnames on the land, and Yaozhou was established. In the Song Dynasty, Yao's surname had been distributed in Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Shandong, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Liaoning and other places. In the early Ming Dynasty, Yao, as one of the surnames of people who moved to Hongtong Sophora japonica, moved to Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Northeast China and other places. After the Zhang Massacre in the late Ming Dynasty, the surname Yao flooded Sichuan. At this time, Yao's surname has spread all over the country, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. In the early Qing Dynasty, a man named Yao went to Taiwan Province and then spread abroad. Today, Yao's surname is widely distributed, especially in Sichuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui. The Yao surname in the above four provinces accounts for about 35% of the Han population in China. Yao is the 64th surname in China with a large population, accounting for 0.35% of the Han population in China.
