How did the surname of the Miao people come about, and who were the ancestors of the Miao people

The Miao people are an ancient people with excellent traditional culture. The Miao people had a long primitive society. The situation of using leaves as clothing, caves or tree nests as homes, and women as leaders is reflected in a large number of ancient Miao songs.

From the kinship title system in some regions, we can also see the traces of the transition from matriarchy to patriarchy, from blood marriage to couple marriage, which reflects the Miao people's long history of primitive society.

History:

The Miao people can be traced back to the legendary era of Yan and Huang five or six thousand years ago. At that time, in the lower reaches of the Yellow River and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Jiuli tribal alliance headed by Chiyou appeared, and on the Gansu-Shaanxi Loess Plateau, two other tribal groups headed by the Yandi Shennong clan and the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan Yanyan clan were formed.

Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang developed along the Yellow River from west to east, and successively fought with Chiyou in the Zhuolu area. Chi You defeated Emperor Yan first, "Chi You is chasing the emperor, fighting for Zhuolu, and there are nine corners." Later, Emperor Yan and the Yellow Emperor jointly defeated Chiyou, "When Xuanyuan was in power, Chiyou was the most violent, and he couldn't cut down, so the Yellow Emperor was the prince of the army, and he fought with Chiyou in the field of Zhuolu, and then killed Chiyou.

After Chi You's death, the world was in turmoil, and the Yellow Emperor painted a portrait of Chi You to intimidate the world, and the world settled down. After the defeat of the Jiuli group, most of the Chiyou group migrated southward, and began the history of the Miao people's migration with many hardships and difficulties. To this day, the legend of Chiyou is still widely spread among the Miao people, and they have always believed in Chiyou as its ancestor.

The ancestor of the Miao people is Chiyou, and the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor are called the three ancestors of China. As the leader of the Jiuli tribe in the East, he had eighty-one brothers, and later failed with the Yellow Emperor in the battle of Zhuolu and Lu Jiji was killed.

The Miao people are an ancient people, and in ancient times they had names such as Jingchu, Jingman, and Nanban. According to relevant historical records, the Miao people's hail ancestor Chiyou lived in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and their religious beliefs were mainly nature worship and ancestor worship. Later, due to time and war, they gradually began to migrate to the south and west, and finally entered the southwest mountainous area and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, some Miao people migrated to Southeast Asian countries, and then migrated from these places to Europe and the United States.
