During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the descendant of Shao Hao, Zao Fu, was given the city of Zhao for his merits, and then established the state of Zhao during the Warring States period; after the death of the state of Zhao, his descendants took the state as their clan.

2. The name Zhao came from the ethnic minorities who changed their surnames to Zhao. For example, in the Han Dynasty, there were Zhao Anji (Xiongnu people), Zhao Hifu ("southern barbarians"), and in the Five Dynasties, there were Zhao Guozhen (descendants of the Sheep Place Chief).
