The spread and migration of Luo people

Luo's surname comes from Qi, that is, Luo's surname originated in Shandong today, and Qidu Yingqiu is the earliest breeding place of Luo's surname. Since then, with the changes of the times, Luo's surname has gradually moved to Jiangnan. Jiangnan Luo surname comes from Gou Jian, the king of Yue. At that time, Yue came from Shao Kang, which revived Shi Xia four thousand years ago. It can be inferred that this Luo surname should be a descendant. In the pre-Qin period, there was no Luo surname in history. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Luo surnames recorded in historical books included Luo of Qin Chongquan, Luo of Fengyi in the Eastern Han Dynasty (now Dali, Shaanxi), Luo of Yinan, Wu Shang in the late Eastern Han Dynasty (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) and Luo Tong. This shows that before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, people named Luo settled in Shaanxi in the north and Zhejiang in the south. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Yongjia Rebellion, Five Rebellions, regime change and power expansion were all accompanied by bloody killings and tragic scenes after the war. In order to find a pure land, people live in peace, are displaced and drift to the end of the world. At that time, Jiangdong was remote and sparsely populated, and the moat of the Yangtze River blocked the source of troops, so Luo went south with other gentry in large numbers and merged with Luo, who originally lived in Huiji. After reproduction and development, Luo surname in Huiji County was gradually formed. From then on to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Luo's surname flourished in Luoyang, Neihuang and other places in Henan, and became one of the surnames known to women and children. And gradually moved northward, spreading and multiplying in Hebei, Shanxi and other places. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Luo, who was born in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, spread to Putian, Quanzhou, Guangdong and other places in Fujian. After Fujian and Guangdong became a larger family, it gradually spread to Yunnan and Guizhou. At the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Shanxi Luo surname, as one of the surnames of Sophora japonica settlers in Hongdong of Ming Dynasty, moved around Zhejiang, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Beijing and other places. After the middle of Ming Dynasty, some people from Fujian, Guangdong and other coastal provinces crossed the ocean and settled in Taiwan Province. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, some Eight Banners changed their surnames to Luo. In addition, Luo surnames from Hebei and other provinces entered Beijing, which gradually increased the number of Luo surnames in Beijing. Today, Luo surname is widely distributed in China, especially in Guangdong, Guizhou, Beijing and other provinces and cities. The Luo surname in these three provinces and cities accounts for about 60% of the Han population in China.

Luo Yu

Luo Yu is located at the northern foot of Qinling Mountains, about15km southwest of zhouzhi county. It is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization. Historically, it was the fief of Luo Ming, the third son of Xuanyuan Huangdi, the ancestor of Chinese people's humanities, which was called "Guluo Kingdom" in history. The history of ancient Romania is the source of thousands of years of civilization in China. In this ancient and magical land, talents come forth in large numbers. Dayu, praised by the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, is said to have been born in Yudong under the stone in Wenshan, Yugu (East). According to the records of Shaanxi literature and history, "he is the king of Luo, the father of Dayu and one of the fathers of the Chinese nation".
