Historical development

During the pre Qin period, the area where Qiu's family lived was mainly in Shandong Province, and later entered Shaanxi Province westward. Jiang Ziya was granted the title of Yingqiu in the capital of Qi Dynasty (now Linzi in Shandong, or Changle in Shandong). He took Qiu as his surname and lived in Fufeng for at least 3000 years. The earliest ancestor of the surname Qiu in ancient books is Qiu Wu (also known as Qiu Wuzi and Wu Qiuzi), who was named after the filial son in Confucius' family language. The next ancestor of the surname Qiu in ancient books is Qiu Qiang, a senior official of Ying (now Southeast of Qufu in Shandong Province). In the history of Lu Zuo, there was the surname Qiu after Zuo Qiuming. during the Qin and Han Dynasties, the area where Qiu's family lived was mainly in Shaanxi, and then eastward into Zhejiang. In the Western Han Dynasty, there was Qiu Xin, a Fufeng man (now Southeast of Xingping, Shaanxi). During the reign of emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, Qiu Jun appeased Jiang Huai with integrity, which was usurped by Wang Mang. Later, Qiu Jun stayed in Jiangzuo and lived in Wuxing. In the northern and Southern Dynasties, he formed a famous family of Qiu surname in Wuxing. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were Qiu Teng from Wucheng (now Wuxing, Zhejiang) and Qiu Jizhi from Yunzhong (now northeast of Tuoketuo, Inner Mongolia). In the Han Dynasty, there was also a Qiu family in Wuhuan. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a king named Qiu Liju in Wuhuan, who had been in power for more than 30 years, but his son louban followed him. During the period of the Three Kingdoms, four people, including Wu Qiujian's son Zong of Cao Wei, were changed to the surname of Qiu. The Qiu family of Wenxi in Shanxi Province took Wu Qiujian as its ancestor and was called Wu Qiujian's descendants. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, a branch of Qiu clan in the Central Plains moved to Fujian to avoid war (< I > see < I > "< / I > < I > < I > < / I > < I > < I > < I > < I > < I > < I > eight surnames came to Fujian < / I > < I > < / I >" < / I >), first lived in Putian, and then branched to Changting, Shanghang and other places. According to various historical materials, many people of Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan and Qiang have changed their surnames to Qiu since Han Dynasty. In the Sixteen States of the Western Qin Dynasty, the Qiang people had the Qiu family. Both the Huns and the Xianbei had the Qiulin family, which was later changed to the Qiu family, and the Xianbei had the qiunaidun and qiumuling families. Xiandi of the Northern Wei Dynasty was a member of seven kingdoms. His younger brother douzhen (the king of linhuai) came to guard the country and took his surname as qiudun. Qiu Dui, the son of douzhen, changed his surname to Qiu. He integrated into the Han nationality and developed into a branch of the famous Qiu family in Henan Province. Qiu He and Qiu Xinggong were the most famous. The Xiongnu's Qiulin family was changed into three surnames: Qiu, Lin and Qiao, and the Qiu family developed into the Qiu family in Henan Province. These foreigners soon merged with the Han people and became the Qiu Han people in the Central Plains. In the Song Dynasty, the surname Qiu had become the major surname in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and central Fujian, and was widely distributed in southern China. Most of the surnames of Qiu are distributed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Qiu (Qiu) surname is mainly distributed in Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, accounting for 54% of the total population of Qiu (Qiu), while Fujian Province accounts for 17%, which is the largest province of Qiu (Qiu) surname, followed by Henan, Hebei, Anhui and Jiangxi, accounting for 30% of the total population of Qiu (Qiu) surname. In Ming Dynasty, the surname Qiu was mainly distributed in Jiangxi, Fujian (< I > Qiu Hong < / I >) and Jiangsu, which accounted for about 58% of the total population of Qiu (Qiu), while Jiangxi province accounted for about 27%, which was the largest province of Qiu (Qiu), followed by Zhejiang, Guangdong (< I > Qiu Jun < / I >), Shandong (< I > Qiu He < / I >), Hubei (< I > Qiu Yu < / I >) and Shaanxi (< I > Qiu minyang < / I >) The population with the surname Qiu accounts for 30% of the total; Anhui (< I > Qiu Fu < / I >), Hunan, Sichuan (< I > Qiu Zude < / I >), Henan (< I > Qiu Feng < / I >) also have the surname Qiu. Qiu an, a native of Jimo, Shandong Province, went to the southwest with the army during the Hongwu year of the Ming Dynasty. After he pacified Yunnan, he was appointed to the post of a hundred families after xintianwei. Later, he settled down in Guizhou. His descendants inherited the military post, and went to the post of commander of Qianshi and commander of Guizhou. The Qiu family has been in charge of the military officer of xintianwei for generations. Their well-known descendants include Qiu Heshi, the first Imperial Academy in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, Qiu Heshi, the son of Guan Youshu, and Qiu Hejia, a statue standing on Shanhaiguan, the censor of guanzhiyoujindu, and the governor of Liaoning Province. in the early Qing Dynasty, the surname Qiu entered Taiwan, and now it has become a famous surname in Taiwan. the surname Qiu appeared in the Han Dynasty at the latest. After the Han Dynasty, the name of Qiu was changed occasionally to avoid Confucius' taboo, but the number was very small, so there were very few celebrities in the history. In the third year of Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial edict was issued to respect the teacher and respect the way of life. It should be avoided to call Confucius the holy taboo. If it is a surname or a place name, the word "Qiu" should be added to the word "Qiu", and most of the surnames of Qiu in the world should be changed to "Qiu". Manchu also changed their surname to Qiu. In 1912, Qiu Fengjia, a member of the Senate of the Republic of China, proposed to restore the ancestral surname of Zhao. It is believed that the surname Qiu was derived from Yingqiu, the fiefdom of Jiang Taigong, which was earlier than that of Kong Qiu. Therefore, there is no reason for the ancestors to avoid the later generations. Therefore, some people in Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan responded to the news. However, most of the people in the provinces and regions of China still use the name of "Yu" because they are unaware or because they are involved in many problems such as registered residence.
