They are all Ji people, descendants of Ji Chang, and Yan is a branch of Yan. According to the surname spectrum, there are two surnames, Yan and Yan. According to "Five Tones with Same Rhyme", Yan is "the same, sharing". Because Yan and Yan are of the same ancestry, they are both descendants of the Yellow Emperor and the dragon, so Yan and Yan's family names are Taiyuan, and their aristocratic families lived in Taiyuan County in ancient times (it is said that Yan's aristocratic family lived in Tianshui). Because Yan's "vulgarity" entered Yan, there were two surnames, Yan and Yan, so among the hundreds of surnames, the two surnames coexisted.
According to legend, Yi, the son of Taibo, was sealed in Yan Township, and later people took Yan as their surname, so they changed their surname to Yan. According to legend, when the youngest son of the king was born, he had a word Yan on his hand, so he was sealed in Yancheng, and his descendants were also surnamed Yan, called Yan.
