Surname Wu

Part of the surname Wu comes from the surname Ji. It is said that in ancient times, there was a leader of the Oriental tribe named SHAOHAO, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. His clan worshipped the bird totem. He used the name of hundred birds as the name of hundred officials, including the wuniao family. Some of the descendants of the wuniao family have removed the word "bird" and used only one word "Wu", which is the earliest origin of the wuniao family. In the spring and Autumn period, there was a state of Wushi in Longxi (now Liupan Shandong in Ningxia), which was destroyed by the state of Qin. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was an anding state in the north, a place where ethnic minorities settled down. The royal family name was Wu. "Song Shu waiyi Zhuan" records: "at that time there was an anding state, the king of Wu.". The prominent families of the Wu family live in Yingchuan (today's Yuzhou City, Henan Province), Runan (today's southeastern Runan, Henan Province) and Poyang (today's Poyang County, Jiangxi Province).
