origin

It comes from the descendants of Guo Zhi and Guo Chong in Xia and Shang Dynasties. According to the records of "a study of surnames", there are Guo Zhi in Xia Dynasty. See baopuzi. There was Guo Chong in Shang Dynasty. See Sanyi Jing, which is the beginning of Guo's family. "It seems that the surname Guo had existed in the Xia Dynasty more than 4000 years ago.

He took residence as his surname. In spite of the records in the book of Customs: "the surname of the people who lived there was Cheng, Guo, yuan and chi.". "Guo" means outer city, that is, because he lives outside the city, he takes Guo as his surname. In the origin of most surnames in China, this phenomenon is relatively rare.

It comes from the surname Ji. In ancient times, "Guo" and "Guo" are interlinked. Guo is the surname Guo, a descendant of the surname Ji of the Yellow Emperor. During the reign of King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty, uncle Guo, the younger brother of King Wen, was granted the title of "Xi Guo" and "Dong Guo". During the reign of King Ping of Zhou, Duke Wu of Zheng succeeded in annihilating Ying and Dongguo and establishing the state of Zheng, the capital of which is now Xinzheng in Henan Province. At this time, King Ping had to approve it and granted the land of Uncle Guo to Duke Wu of Zheng. The practice of King Ping of Zhou aroused the dissatisfaction of the princes. Therefore, the state of Chu, located in the south, launched wars against Zhou from the time of King Zhuang of Chu, and annexed many countries around. Guo Shu's land, which was granted to Zheng State, was one of them. As a remedy, King Ping of Zhou had to seal the descendants of Uncle Dongguo in Yangqu. Therefore, the name is "Guo Gong". Because Guo and Guo had the same pronunciation, they were also called "Guo Gong", so there was Guo family in later dynasties. Xiguo, also known as Chengguo, also moved to the East after the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Shangyang was the capital of Xiguo, which was called Nanguo in history. Later, it was destroyed by the state of Jin. When Xiguo moved to the East, some branches of the Guo State stayed in the same place, which was called Xiaoguo in history. Later, it was destroyed by Qin Dynasty. All the descendants of Guo took Guo as their surname.

Migration distribution

During the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, the Guo family lived in today's Henan, Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces, but also in Shandong and Hebei. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, some of the Guo family moved to Jiangnan. In the Han Dynasty and a long period after that, Taiyuan has always been the center of Guo's development and reproduction. In addition, Guo family lived in Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Sichuan and Anhui in Han Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms period, Guo Cheng, a native of Fuchun (now Zhejiang Province), lived in the state of Wu. In the Jin Dynasty, Guo fan, a native of Wuchang (now Hubei Province), and Guo Pu, a native of Wenxi (now Shanxi Province), lived in Jiankang (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province) at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty. In the early Tang Dynasty and the late Tang Dynasty, the Guo family of Henan Province migrated to Fujian twice: first, Guo shuweng, a Gushi native of Guangzhou, followed Chen Zheng and Chen Yuanguang to open up Zhangzhou, settled down in guodai township of Longxi, and some generals Zuo Guoyi also followed Chen's father and son; second, Guo song followed Wang Shenzhi and his younger brother Wang, who wanted to enter Fujian and lived in Xinning. In 1127, song Gaozong fled to the south. A large number of people from the Central Plains fled to the south of the Yangtze River and lived in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong. Many of them were surnamed Guo. Later, some people migrated from Taiwan to Europe, America and Southeast Asia.

The most Guo surnames in Taiwan are Tainan, followed by Taipei and Jiayi. It ranks fourteenth among the hundred surnames in Taiwan. According to historical records, the mainland Guo family moved to Taiwan from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty. It was the descendants of the Guo family from Fujian and Guangdong. With the mainland people's family's "winding roads, opening up mountains and forests", they came to Taiwan. After that, the number of Guo family members who came to Taiwan gradually increased, so the Guo family name passed down from generation to generation in Taiwan.
