It is from Ji's surname. In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, Ji Zhong, the younger brother of Zhou Wen Wang Jichang, was sealed in Dongguo (now northeast of Xingyang, Henan). In 767 BC, he made great contributions to escorting Zhou Pingwang, so he gave him Guo Di. At this time, the southern Chu state was trying to expand its power to the Central Plains, so it used the king of Zhou as an excuse to find fault and hit the capital near Luoyi. Zhou Pingwang was afraid, so he called Ji Xu, the descendant of Jizhong, and sealed him in the north (now Li Jiayao in the southeast of Shaanxi) to solve the contradiction. In 655 BC, the state of Jin destroyed the northern country through the state of Yu. The descendants are called Guo. There were Guo and Guo Gong in ancient times, and Guo was later changed to Guo. Guo Ziyi, a general of the Tang Dynasty, was born in Zhengxian County, Huazhou (now Huaxian County, Shaanxi Province), and was the most important general to quell the Anshi Rebellion. After Tang Suzong acceded to the throne, Guo Ziyi was appointed deputy marshal of Hedong in Shanhaiguan pass. He jointly recovered Chang 'an and Luoyang with Uighur military forces, and was promoted to Secretary of State for his work, and was sealed in Guo Ziyi. He has repeatedly made meritorious military service in his life, and Tang Dezong respectfully called him "Father". Guo Shoujing, an astronomer, hydraulic scientist and mathematician in Yuan Dynasty, was born in Xingtai, Shunde (now Hebei). Together with Wang Xun, Xu Heng and others, he compiled a calendar for timing, which is more accurate than in the past. It has been implemented for 360 years and is the longest calendar in the history of China. He is good at making instruments, creating and improving 10 kinds of instruments for observing astronomical phenomena, organizing large-scale land surveys, re-observing the positions of constant stars such as Erbasu, and measuring the intersection angle of the yellow and the red, which achieved high accuracy.
Re-exploration of the origin of Guo surname
Guo is one of the most popular surnames in China, ranking 18 among the most popular surnames in China 100, and its owner accounts for more than 1% of the Han population. There are three main sources of Guo surname: one is after Guo Zhi in Xia Dynasty and Guo Chong in Shang Dynasty. The reasons for the surnames of Guo Zhi and Guo Chong are unknown, but they are the earliest recorded surnames of Guo, so they are regarded as ancestors of Guo by later generations. The other takes the place of residence as the surname, such as city, township, garden, pool, etc. Guo means outer city, that is, the wall built on the periphery of the city; People living in outer cities take household registration as their surname. The other one came from the surname Ji, later from the royal family of Zhou, and became Guo, the largest branch of Guo.
Guo is a vassal state of Ji surname, which was enfeoffed by Zhou Dynasty. There are East Guo, Xi Guo and North Guo. Among them, Dong Guo and Guo were both sealed by Zhou Wang, and the founding monarch was the younger brother of Zhou Wang Ji Chang. When he was on the crusade, he made great contributions to escorting the crusade, so King Ping gave him Guo Di. At this time, the southern state of Chu gradually became stronger, and the king of Chu was trying to expand his power to the Central Plains. In the name of destroying Guo for no reason, he picked out the blame and hit near Luoyi. Captain Wang Ping was afraid, so he had to find his descendants and seal him in the north (in the southeast of Shan County), which was called Guo Gong in history (Guo and Guo were homophones in ancient times). Later, Guo was destroyed by the state of Jin, and his descendants were called Guo.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Guo family moved to Shandong, Hebei and other places except those who stayed in Henan, Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. In addition, Guo traveled to Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Sichuan, Anhui and other places in the Han Dynasty. At the beginning and end of the Tang Dynasty, the Guo family in Henan immigrated to Fujian twice. 1 127 years, people fled to the south, followed by a large number of people from the Central Plains, living in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places, including many people surnamed Guo. In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, the Guo family in Fujian moved to Taiwan Province Province, and later became one of the top ten surnames in Taiwan Province Province. Some people moved to Europe, America and Southeast Asia.
On the historical stage of China, there are many talented people and celebrities in the past dynasties, including civil servants and military commanders, princes and generals, and scientists, philosophers, writers and artists who are well-known at home and abroad. He has made outstanding contributions to the development of China society. In the Three Kingdoms, there was Guo Jia, an important counselor of Cao Cao; Guo Shoujing was an astronomer, hydrologist and mathematician in Yuan Dynasty. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, there was Guo Zixing, the leader of the Red Scarf Army in Jianghuai area; In addition, the most famous figures in modern times are famous writers, poets, historians, playwrights, archaeologists, archaeologists and famous social activists, Mr. Guo Moruo. And Ji Guo, a fighting hero in East China during the War of Liberation. At present, there is a famous China lawyer Guo Lilian in the United States.
It can be seen that Guo's talents come forth in large numbers, from generation to generation.
The third reference to the origin of Guo surname
Guo's surname is 18 in China and 14 in Taiwan Province province, with a total population of over 1%. Guo surname comes from Ji surname and is transformed from Guo surname. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Wang's younger brother established the State of Guo. At the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, because the country was weak, it was occupied by Zheng Wugong by force, claiming that it was because of the meritorious military service of escorting Zhou Pingwang eastward to Luoyang. Therefore, Chu Zhuangwang sent troops to crusade against the Zhou Dynasty, and Zhou Pingwang found his descendant and made him king of the State of Guo. After Guo was destroyed by Jin, Chinese people took the country name as their surname, hence the name Guo. The surname Guo has a long history. There were Guo Zhi in Xia Dynasty, Ai Guo in Shang Dynasty and Guo Chong in Shang Dynasty. There is also a saying that uncle Guo is the ancestor of Guo. But their descendants have no record now. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Guo mainly developed in Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, Hebei and other places, with Yitai as the development center. By the Han Dynasty, people surnamed Guo had migrated to Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Sichuan, Anhui and other places. Guo moved to Fujian twice in the Tang Dynasty and began to enter Guangdong in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, a Guo Fujian family moved to Taiwan Province Province and later became one of the top ten surnames in Taiwan Province Province. According to textual research, the "Bai Qiguo" in Quanzhou, Fujian Province should belong to the descendants of the Hui nationality. Guo's main settlements are Quyang, Taiyuan, Huayin, Zhongshan, Changle, Fenyang, □ Chuan, Jiexiu, Xihe, Yunzhong and Fufeng.
