What is the origin of the surname Cao? What are the celebrities of the Cao family?

The origins of the surname Cao are mainly as follows:

Descendants of the surname Emperor Zhuan. Descendants of the surname Yellow Emperor Ji.

Shu Zhenduo, the son of King Wen of Zhou and the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, founded the Cao family, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor Ji lineage, and has a close relationship with the Yellow Emperor's lineage. In the 11th century B.C., Shu Zhenduo was sealed in Cao and built the capital Taoqiu (now southwest of Dingtao County, Shandong, about kilometers away from the Heze to Shangqiu highway in the west), becoming the first king and the ancestor of the Cao family.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Ji of Zhou Wu issued his younger brother Shu Zhenduo in Cao (now Cao County, Shandong Province), known as Cao Shu Zhenduo, and then took Cao as his name, and then became the surname Cao. Later, among the descendants of Shu Zhenduo, there was a warrior named Zhuang, who was an official in the Lu State, and was sealed in Bian Yi (in the area of Surabaya, Gunzhou, Shandong Province). The title is the son, so he was called Bian Zhuangzi, and his descendants took Bian as his surname.

A branch of the surname Bian was formed.

In the Zhou Dynasty about 3,000 years ago, in the area of Dingtao County, Shandong Province, there was another surname Bian, which was recorded in the "Surname Compilation": "After Cao Shu Zhenduo, the branch ate Bian Shu Zhenduo, and the branch ate in Bian, because of the clan, Lu has Bian Zhuangzi, Chu has Bian He", and the same point in "Guangyun": "After Zhou Cao Shu, Cao's branch was sealed in Bian, and then the clan was established."

Cao Shu Zhenduo is the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, he is the ancestor of the surname Cao in later generations, and the Bian family is divided into the Cao family, so it is obvious that the Cao and Bian clans are a family with one source. According to legend, in Shandong and Jiangsu, there is still a custom of Cao and Bian not marrying each other, and it seems that "there is a reason for it".

The surname was changed from Yi to Cao. The surname Zhu originated from the state of Yi in the Zhou period, and the country was originally built by the surname Cao. Emperor Zhuan's grandson, Lu, had 6 sons in his lifetime, of which the fifth son, An, was sealed by King Wu of Zhou in Di (in present-day Huangfeng County, Hubei).

The nobility of the ancient kingdom has always regarded the country as its clan. After the state of Yi was destroyed by the state of Chu, some of the descendants of An changed their surnames to Zhu, and some of them reverted to Cao.

In ancient times, after the people of Cao settled in Middle-earth, they took Cao as their surname. The ancient state of Cao is located in the north and northeast of Samarkand, the Republic of Uzbekistan. The ancient Cao State is quite recorded in the history books, and in history, it was once a domain of the Tang Dynasty.

The Northern History, the Book of Sui, and the Book of the New Tang Dynasty and the Biography of the Western Regions recorded it as one of the Zhaowu Kingdoms. Out of admiration for the sergeant civilization, tens of thousands of people in the ancient Cao Kingdom entered the Central Plains through the ancient Silk Road in the north and south of Xinjiang and the Altay line, and after settling down, they took Cao as their surname.

Cao. According to the records of "Yuan He Surname U", the Chinese surname Cao was originally a descendant of the surname Zhuan Ying. Based on various historical materials, there are three sources of Cao's family:

Clause. 1. From the descendants of the surname of the Yellow Emperor Ji. In the 11th century BC, the son of King Wen of Zhou and the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, Shu Zhenduo was enshrined in Cao, built the capital Taoqiu, and became the king of the first seal, which became the ancestor of the Cao family.

Clause. 2. Change the surname from Yi to Cao. When it comes to the origin of the Cao surname, it is often associated with the Zhu family.

This is because the surname Zhu originated from the state of Yi in the Zhou period, and the country of Yi was originally built by the surname Cao. Emperor Zhuan's great-great-grandson Lu had six sons in his life, of which the fifth son, An, was sealed in the state of Yi by King Wu of Zhou. In ancient times, the aristocrats of the Kingdom of Yi have always regarded the country as their clan.

Later, Yi was destroyed by Chu, and some of An's descendants changed their surnames to Zhu, and some of them changed their surnames to Cao. These two descendants of the Cao surname originated in Shandong Province, so the early Chinese people with the surname Cao came from Shandong.

Clause. 3. The ancient Cao people took Cao as their surname after coming to China. The ancient state of Cao was located in the north and northeast of Samarkand, a present-day Republic of Uzbekistan.

The Northern History, the Book of Sui and other secretaries were one of the Zhaowu states. At that time, some Cao people came to China, and some took Cao as their surname and passed it on to future generations.
