1. The origin of Fan's.

The ancestor of the surname Fan can be traced back to the holy monarch Tang Yao more than 4,000 years ago. Yao's descendants, in the Shun, Xia, and Shang dynasties, are called Tang Du. After entering the Zhou Dynasty, he changed his title to Du, and was later destroyed by King Xuan of Zhou, and Uncle Xi, the son of Du Bo, fled to the Jin Kingdom, where he was appointed as a judge, and changed his surname to a scholar because of his official name.

Later, his great-grandson Shihui was the secretary of the Jin Kingdom, and the food was collected from Fan, and since then, the descendants of the Shihui have taken Fan as their surname in accordance with the habit of "taking Yi as their clan", and they have multiplied from generation to generation. There is a record in "Yuanhe Surname Compilation": "After Emperor Yao Liu was tired, in Zhou for the Tang Du clan, Zhou Xuan Wang destroyed Du, Du Bo's son Xi Shu Ben Jin became a judge, and his great-grandson Shihui ate in Fan, so he became Fan's."

2. From this point of view, the founding ancestor of the Fan family is undoubtedly the scholar of the Jin Kingdom, and its birthplace is Jin, which is now Shanxi. The Fan family in Shanxi is grand with Gaoping. Gaoping in the Jin Dynasty, that is, now Gaoping in Shanxi, it is located in the south of present-day Shanxi, bordering Henan in the south and Chang'an in Shaanxi in the west.

Because of the geographical location, in the reproduction of generations, the Fan family gradually moved south to the Central Plains and Jiangnan region.

The surname Fan originated from the surname Qi and was a descendant of the Du family. When King Xuan of Zhou was innocently killed, he had a son named Xi Quan, who fled to the Jin Kingdom and was appointed a judge (judge). His sons, scholars, were given official names, and their descendants were called scholars.

Shi's grandson would serve as the chief general of the Jin army. In 593 B.C., he led his troops to defeat the Chidi people's Jia clan, Liuhu, Fengpai and other tribes, and was promoted to the marshal of the Chinese army because of his merits, and took charge of national affairs. Shihui first got Fengyi Sui (in present-day Jiexiu County, Shanxi), and later got Fanyi (in Fan County, Henan), so it was also called Suihui and Fanhui, and his descendants were later divided into three branches: Shishi, Fan, and Sui.

His son Xie took Fan as his clan, called Fan Quan, and was once the deputy marshal of the Chinese army, nicknamed Fan Ziwen. Xie's son, Fan Jian, was in charge of state affairs during the reign of Jin Ping, and compiled the various decrees issued by the Jin State into criminal laws and promulgated them, making the Jin State the first country to rule the country under the rule of law in the Spring and Autumn Period. Later, the Fan family lost the struggle for power and was driven out of the Jin state by the Zhao, Xun, Han and other ministers.

The descendants of the Fan family are called the Fan family. The Wang clan lived in Gaoping County (40 miles northwest of Jinxiang County, Shandong).

The surname Fan comes from the surname Qi, and after Liu Lei, a descendant of the Tang clan of Emperor Yaotao, he was named after Fengyi.

What makes Fan more special than many other surnames is that he knows the ins and outs of his surname. According to the record of "Surname Compilation": "After Liu Lei, the descendant of Emperor Yao, in Zhou for the Tang Du clan, Zhou Xuan Wang destroyed Du, and Du Bo's son Wen Shu Benjin became a judge, and his great-grandson Shihui ate in Fan, so he became Fan's."

According to the "Ancient and Modern Surname Book Dialectic" and "Yuanhe Surname Compilation", the descendant of Emperor Yao, Sun Liu Leishi, King Kong Jia of Xia, gave the royal dragon. Later, it moved to Lu County, and the merchant was Wei Wei.

At the end of the Shang dynasty, King Zhou Cheng destroyed the ancestor of Fan's surname Tang, and moved to Du for Du Bo. Du Bo was innocent of murder, his son Du Yu Shu Ben Jin, his grandson Du Ping served as a judge in the Jin State, so he was a scholar, called Shi Ping, and his great-great-grandson Shi Hui was awarded to Fan (now Fan County, Henan Province) for his merits, and his descendants took Fengyi Fan as their surname, called Fan.
