The old family name Du is what place thank you, God help ah!

In the Shiben, there is a record of "Dukang made wine", and noted as "Yellow Emperor's time".

In the Shiben, there is a record of "Dukang made wine" and it is noted as "a man of the time of the Yellow Emperor". This indicates that the surname Du existed during the time of the Yellow Emperor. Legend has it that Dukang was the Yellow Emperor's Zai Ren (the official in charge of food), and the place where the Yellow Emperor lived, "Xuan Yuan Qiu", is in present-day Xinzheng, Henan Province. Xu Shen said in Shuowen Jiezi (Explaining Characters in Chinese): "In ancient times, Shaokang first made broomsticks and broomcorn millet wine. Shaokang, Du Kang also." Shaokang was the 6th king of the Xia Dynasty and lived in the western part of present-day Henan Province. Therefore, if Du Kang is the founder of the surname Du, then the surname has been around for at least 4,000 to 5,000 years. However, due to the long period of time, there is a lack of written records of the lineage after Du Kang, and some surname books say otherwise about the origin of the surname Du. "Tongzhi - clan": "Du, also known as Tang Du, Qi surname, after Emperor Yao, built the country in Liu, Tao Tang, descendants of Liu Lei to be able to disturb the dragon thing Kong Jia, so in the summer for the Dragon, in the business for the boar Wei, in the week for the Tang Du. King Cheng destroyed the Tang, and sealed Shu Yu, was relocated to the Tang clan in the Du, is the Du Bo ...... Those who lived in Ducheng were the Du Clan ...... And the latter Wei had Dugu Hun's, changed to Du's, the real captive surname of Du also." According to the evidence, the descendants of Tang Yao were still an independent state named Tang Du when King Wu of Zhou first settled the world until King Cheng of Zhou when they were exterminated and incorporated into the domain of the Zhou family. The descendants of the Tang Du clan were henceforth renamed Du. The state of Du, located in what is now Chang'an, Shaanxi Province, was known as Duling in the Han Dynasty. Later, when the state of Du was destroyed, the descendants of the Du surname ran away, and the surname Du has been introduced since then. In addition, "Wei Shu - Guan Shi Zhi" recorded that the original three-character surname of the Xianbei tribe was Dugu Hun, which was changed to Du after Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang (now in Henan Province). Du in the Song and Yuan period there are clansmen migrated to Fujian, Guangdong, the Qing dynasty there are moved to Taiwan, some of them and then migrated overseas. After thousands of years of reproduction, the Du Clan spread throughout the north and south of the Yangtze River, especially in Jingzhao (northeast of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province), Hanyang (north of the Yangtze River in Hubei Province), Nanyang (present-day Nanyang, Henan Province), the Du Clan is the most prosperous. Throughout Chinese history, the Du Clan has spawned many outstanding figures. Du Shi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, served as Nanyang governor, had created the water row (hydraulic blower), water-powered casting of agricultural tools, effective and labor-saving, 1,100 years earlier than the European counterparts, and the construction of water conservancy, the development of agricultural production, and is therefore locally honored as the "mother of the Du"; two famous ministers Dulin and Du Mi, Du Lin, in the time of Emperor Guangwu, official to the Great Sikong, in the academic and scholarly field, the Du clan has been the most prosperous. Dulin and Du Mi, two famous ministers, Dulin in the time of Emperor Guangwu, the official to the big Sikong, in the academic aspects of the extensive and knowledgeable, known as the general Confucian, later generations of people called it "the elementary school of the Zong"; Du Mi, in the office of Taishan too guardian, the Beihai phase, to punish the children of the eunuchs for the evil and famous, and then the official to the Imperial Servant, the Imperial students called "the world's good auxiliaries "He was later promoted to the rank of Imperial Servant. In the Tang Dynasty, the Du Clan was even more talented, only as prime minister that is, there are 11 people, among them, Du Ruhi in Emperor Taizong and Fang Xuanling **** in charge of the dynasty, had set up a variety of canonical system, people called "Fang Du"; Du You is both prime minister and historian. There are also the poets Du Shenyan and Du Xunhe, and the literary scholar Du Mu, etc. The most famous Du character is the great poet Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty, Du Fu was the inspector of the Ministry of Public Works, so he is known as Du Gongbu, and his poems have become the peak of realism in ancient Chinese poetry, which is known as the "History of Poetry"; Du Mu is another famous literary scholar of the Tang Dynasty, and he is called "Du Fu" because he is a little later than Du Fu, so he is known as "Du Mu". Du Mu, another famous literary figure of the Tang Dynasty, was called "Little Du" because he was slightly later than Du Fu. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, there was the leader of the peasant revolt, Du Usable. In the Ming Dynasty, there was Du Qiong, a painter. In the Qing Dynasty, there was Du Jun, a poet, and Du Wenxiu, the leader of the Yunnan Hui People's Rebellion. In modern times, there are the patriotic democrat Du Bincheng, Marxist philosopher and historian Du Guoqi. Du is the 53rd most popular Chinese surname in terms of numbers. Take another look at the following introduction and I'm sure you can understand a bit more. The history of the acquisition of the surname Du is very glowing from historical documents. According to legend, one of the emperor's twenty-fifth son had a name Qi, Yao surname Yi Qi, Du from the Qi surname, is the descendant of Emperor Yao. In ancient times, people in the fiefdom of the name Yao for the Tao Tang clan. The descendants of Tao Tang Clan had built a state in Liu. At that time, Kong A, the sixth grandson of Xia Hou Clan, was the king of Xia, and he was good at squaring ghosts and gods. Legend has it that two dragons, a female and a male, were sent down from the sky, but Kung A did not know how to raise them, so Liu Lei, a grandson of the Tao Tang Clan, learned how to disturb the dragons from the Bunlong Clan. Liu Lei, a descendant of the Tao Tang Clan, learned how to disturb the dragon from the Bunlong Clan, and the Bunlong Clan was given the surname of Bunlong because they raised the dragon for Emperor Shun. Liu Lei, who learned how to disturb dragons to serve Kong Jia, was also given the surname Yilong. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, Liu Lei's descendants built the Tang State, which was called the Tang Du Clan. Later, King Cheng of the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the state of Tang, and his own brother Yu was feudalized in Tang, while the king of Tang was moved to Du, and was called Du Bo. At the time of King Xuan of Zhou, the state of Du was destroyed again, and Du Bo, who was the chief minister of Zhou, was also killed for his innocence. Most of the children and grandchildren of Du Bo defected to other lords, while those who stayed in Du city used Du as their family name. There are also scholars who believe that the descendants of Du are the descendants of ancient Du Kang. It is rumored that Du Kang was a person in the ancient Yellow Emperor's period and was good at making wine. If Du Kang is the founder of the surname Du, then the surname has at least 4,000 to 5,000 years of history. In addition, some of the Dugu Hun clan of the Northern people in the latter Wei Dynasty also changed to the Du clan. Migration and Distribution During the pre-Qin period, the Du Clan spread and multiplied in present-day Shanxi, Shandong, Hubei, Sichuan and other provinces. Han Dynasty to the period of the North and South Dynasties, the Du Clan in today's Henan Province is more widely distributed, such as Nanyang, Neihuang, Weihui, Dengfeng, 偃师, Xuchang, Linxian, Dengzhou, Linbao, Luoyang, Xinye, etc. have their own clansmen; Xi'an, Shaanxi, Du Clan is more prosperous. In addition, today's Sichuan, Deyang, Pangshan, Mianyang, Chengdu, Shanxi, Yongji, Taiyuan, Anhui Lujiang Huoshan, Zhejiang Hangzhou, Hubei Xiangyang, Jiangsu Gaoyou, Jiangsu Jurong, Hebei Linzhang, Zhengding, Shandong Weifang, Zhangqiu, etc., there are also Du's settlements. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, some Du clansmen migrated to Fujian and Guangdong, and during the Qing Dynasty, some of them moved to Taiwan, while some of them migrated overseas. Historical Figures The Du family name, originating from the emperors and kings, has been a great family in the limelight for thousands of years. The Du Clan has always been outstanding in history, with many generals and lords, and has not only produced a lot of outstanding people who are famous in history for their achievements and strategies, but also has a lot of talents in academics and literature, which has contributed to the traditional culture of China. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were two famous Du ministers, Du Lin and Du Mi. Du Lin was an official at the time of Emperor Guangwu as the Grand Secretary of State. His greater achievements were in academics. He was known as a general scholar, and later on, he was regarded as the "Scholar of Primary Schools". Du Mi, who served Emperor Heng and Emperor Ling successively, was a minister of the people. He coined the idiom of "silent as a cicada". In the Tang Dynasty, Du's performance was particularly outstanding. The great poet Du Fu, known as the Sage of Poetry, was a household name. To distinguish him from Du Mu, he was known as "Old Du". Du Mu was another famous literary figure of the Tang Dynasty. Since he was a little later than Du Fu, he was called "Little Du". However, his literary attainments were not inferior to those of the old Du. His words are beautiful and his symbols are elegant. The A Fang Gong Fu (阿房宫赋), which is regarded as a monumental work in Chinese literature, was written by Du Mu. Du Mu's son, Du Gouhe, was also famous for his poems at the end of the Tang Dynasty. His famous line "The wind is warm and the birds' voices are broken, the sun is high and the light is heavy" has been recited for many years. The story of the cuckoo crying blood comes from a poignant legend. Legend has it that Du Yu, the ancient king of Shu, became the emperor of Shu at the end of the Zhou Dynasty, and was called Emperor Wang. Later, he went into hiding and gave way to his prime minister. At that time in February, the son of the cuckoo bird singing, Shu people pregnant, so the cuckoo for azalea. Little cuckoo bird, also from the emperor it.
