The origin of Huang surname

1. Taking the country name as the surname: Boyi, the leader of Yu Shun era, made great contributions to water control. His descendants established the Huang State in Huangchuan, Henan Province at the end of Shang Dynasty and the beginning of Zhou Dynasty, and later the Huang State took the country name as its surname. There are two other theories that the descendants of Shao Hao or Lu Zhong (the son of Vulcan Zhu Rong) established the Yellow Kingdom. In short, they all take the country as their surname.

2. From the official position, the official title is the surname. There are two views: one is Huanglongsi, an official subordinate from ancient Fuxi; Second, Huang Yun, an official under the ancient Yellow Emperor.

3. Originated from changing surnames: ① Other Han surnames were changed to Huang surnames: ancient Huang and Wang had the same pronunciation, and some of them were changed to Huang surnames; There are other reasons why Huang changed his surname, such as Lu, Wu, Wu, Jin and Huang. ② Hui people changed their surnames to Huang: A few Pu Hui people changed their surnames to Huang in order to avoid the scourge of "anti-color eyes" at the end of Yuan Dynasty. ③ Manchu changed its surname to Huang: The Uzala family of Manchu originated from Ningguta (now Ning 'an, Heilongjiang Province) with a large number of people. Later, there appeared four Han surnames: Huang, Zi, Hong and Bai.
