According to historical records such as Yuan He's usurpation, the origin of Hu's surname can be traced back to the descendants of Gui's surname of Yu Shun, an ancient sage. In this way, the ancestor of Hu's surname should be Hu Gong, who was named Chen's land more than 3,000 years ago. Hu Gongman is the 33rd generation grandson of Zhou Wuwang's son-in-law Yu Shun, and he was named Chen Hou. It can be seen that the ancestors of Hu family in China are the orthodox descendants of Yu Shun and Huangdi, not the descendants of Wuhu who later invaded the Central Plains. As for the origin of Hu, of course, it is the fief of Chen in the early Zhou Dynasty. Today's Huaiyang County in Henan Province. Since then, the Hu family has taken this place as its origin, and its descendants have gradually expanded to various places. After several generations of reproduction, it reached Xincai in the south and Shanxi in the north, becoming the Hu family at that time. Later, the Hu family in Xincai and Shanxi migrated to other places and spread all over China.

Hu Nanqian began in the late Western Jin Dynasty. Hu descendants crossed the river from the Central Plains to the south, first moved to Anhui, and then moved from Anhui to Fujian. Finally, he moved from Fujian to Taiwan Province Province. Hu surname in Taiwan Province Province has spread all over the province. Tainan, Taipei, Changhua, Hsinchu and other places have relatively concentrated and largest populations.
