What is the origin of the surname Xu and what is the origin of the surname Xu?

Xu's surname ** is relatively pure, mainly from the surname Ying. He is a descendant of Wakaki, the son of the great-grandson of the first emperor. According to legend, Emperor Trap had a granddaughter named Nu Xiu, who had a great career because of eating swallow eggs.

Daye married a woman from the Shaodian clan and gave birth to Boyi. Bo Yi because of the assistance of Dayu to control the water, in addition to the official gift of him as the surname of Ying, but also the daughter of the clan Yao married him, Yao Nu later gave birth to two sons, the youngest of which is called Ruomu because his father is meritorious, so he was named in Xu, the establishment of the Xu State. The state of Xu went through the three dynasties of Xia, Shang and Zhou, and all of them existed as princes.

When King Mu of Zhou passed to Xu Junyan, the 32nd grandson of Xu State, he was very smart and very good to the people, so he was deeply loved by the people, and the national strength continued to grow. At that time, King Mu of Zhou liked to travel all over the world and often did not ask about national affairs, and the princes complained a lot about him, so Xu Junyan had the ambition to replace King Mu of Zhou. So he called himself King Xu Yan and led the allied forces of various countries to march to the Zhou State, and King Mu of Zhou immediately returned to the capital after learning the news and sent troops to suppress it.

King Xu Yan had no choice but to collect his troops and flee, and he hid in the mountains around Pengcheng. Because he won the hearts of the people, he followed him to the mountains and won many people. This mountain was later called Xu Mountain, and Xuzhou was named after it.

King Mu of Zhou therefore had to crown his son Zong Yu Xu, known as "Xu Zi", and continue to manage the Xu State. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Xu was defeated by the State of Chu, and the national strength gradually faded day by day, when King Jing of Zhou was eight years old, the State of Xu was destroyed by the State of Wu, and the descendants of the State of Xu were called Xu, with the country as the surname, passed down from generation to generation.

There is also another way of saying that:

According to legend, Ruomu, the son of Xia Yu Feng Boyi, was in Xu State (now Si County, Anhui), and Xu State was a prince in Xia, Shang, and Wednesday. King Mu of Zhou had Xu Junyan at the time, he was smart and benevolent, quite supported by the people, and the national strength was getting stronger and stronger. At that time, King Mu of Zhou liked to travel all over the world, often for several years, no one managed the state affairs, and the princes had many complaints.

Later, Xu Junyan dug out a pair of red bows and arrows when digging the river, he thought it was a godsend auspicious, and suddenly had the ambition to be the son of heaven on behalf of Zhou. When the surrounding princes heard that he had obtained the divine bow and arrow, they came to join him, so he proclaimed himself King Xu Yan and led the 36-nation alliance to attack the Zhou capital. King Mu of Zhou was a guest at the Queen Mother of the West on the Kunlun Mountain at this time, and after getting the news, he set off overnight, driven by the father, returned to the Zhou capital in a thousand days, and ordered the army to suppress it.

King Xu Yan didn't expect King Mu of Zhou to come back so quickly, seeing that a bloody battle was about to happen, he judged the situation, couldn't bear to let the lives be ruined, retreated bravely, withdrew his troops immediately, abandoned the country and ran away, and hid in the deep mountains around Pengcheng (now Xuzhou). Because he was very popular with the people, tens of thousands of people went into the mountains with him. This mountain was later called Xushan, and Xuzhou was named after it.

King Mu of Zhou saw that King Xu Yan was very popular in the local area, so he named his descendants as Xu Zi and continued to manage the Xu Kingdom. In 512 BC, the state of Xu was destroyed by the state of Wu, and the descendants of Xu Zi were called Xu, which is the origin of the surname Xu.
