1, which originated from the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, took Zuzi as the surname. In ancient times, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor was named Zhuan Xu, the grandson of Zhuan Xu was named Ng Wui, Wu Hui had a son named Lu Zhong, and the second son of Lu Zhong was named Huilian. His descendants named Hui after their ancestors.
2, from the surname Ji, with posthumous title as the surname. In the Zhou Dynasty, there was a monarch named Hui Wang, whose reign lasted from 676 BC to 652 BC.

Their descendants take their ancestors' posthumous title as their surname, which is called Hui surname.
3. Change the surname from Manchu banners and ethnic minorities. According to folklore and related information, during the Qing Dynasty, Wyeth also added new blood, that is, Manchu banners changed their surnames to Hui. For example, during the Fu Cha-Daoguang period, the official worship of the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Huiji, and the yellow flag of Manchuria; Hui Qing, governor of Guangxi during the Tongzhi period, was born in Huang Zhengqi. In addition, Guarga and Saltuk were also changed to Hui. This is mutually confirmed with the folklore that people who return their surnames don't marry rich families. )
Manchu is Hui nationality, Jinnuzhen is Wu Lv, and Han nationality is Hui nationality. Generally speaking, Empress Dowager Cixi is Manchu in Huangqi, and her family belongs to Yehe Department (near Siping today). Father Zheng Hui, a native of Guang Tai, Huining, Anhui Province. The Jade Emperor (the royal family tree) is recorded as "the daughter of Zheng Hui of Yehenala" and her surname is unknown. The baby's name is Nora, so it's called Yenala.
The surname of Empress Dowager Cixi, even her life experience, is still controversial and complicated. After 17 years of textual research, a historian in Shanxi collected all kinds of oral materials, written materials and physical objects, and thought that Empress Dowager Cixi might be a Han nationality, born in Changzhi County, Shanxi Province (now Changzhi County) and spent her childhood here.
Empress Dowager Cixi was an important political figure in China in the late Qing Dynasty. She actually ruled the Qing Dynasty for nearly half a century, but her birthplace and childhood experience have been a mystery for many years.
From 1989, Liu Qi, former deputy director of Shi Zhiban, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province, began to investigate the mystery of Cixi's life. According to textual research, Cixi may have been born in a poor peasant family of Han nationality, and was given to the peasant Song shortly after her birth, and then adopted by Hui, then the magistrate of Lu 'an.
According to Liu Qi, the basis of "Cixi was born in Changzhi" is divided into more than 50 pieces of evidence in three categories: word of mouth, written materials and physical objects, with a total of 38 pieces.
The most important evidence that Cixi was born in Changzhi is the oral inheritance of the word "one voice" by people in Xipo and Shangqin villages of Changzhi County and the elderly in nearby villages.
According to textual research, there is a record of Cixi's life in Wang's genealogy in Xipo Village, Changzhi County. The birthplace of Cixi and the tomb of Cixi's biological mother were also found in the village. In Shangqin Village, Changzhi County, we found the "Niangniang Courtyard" where Cixi once lived, as well as two wallet-style commemorative books of the Qing emperor made by Song Jiazu Guangxu and Xuan Tong many years ago, as well as the letters and photos left by Cixi to the Song family. The "Study Room of Empress Dowager Cixi" in the backyard of the former Lu 'an House in Changzhi City has been well preserved.
In addition, many related performances in Cixi's life behavior also prove that Cixi is a Changzhi person. For example, Cixi likes to eat steamed stuffed buns, jiaozi and corn porridge, which Changzhi people like to eat, and likes to watch the Changzhi local opera "Shangdang Bangzi", which is not widely circulated and can only be understood by Changzhi locals.
Yao Dianzhong, a professor at Shanxi University, believes that the childhood of Cixi and the continuation of Cixi edited and published by Liu Qi and others "initially solved the historical blank problem of Cixi's childhood". Professor Wang, vice president of the Beijing Historical Society and former head of the history department of Renmin University of China, and professor of modern history in China wrote in the preface to the childhood examination of Cixi written by Liu: "This book is well-founded and does not make assumptions out of thin air."
