A probe into the origin of Qu Baijia's surname.

Qu surname comes from Ji surname, which originated from Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period. Jin Mu Hou made his youngest son a teacher of Quwo (present-day Shaanxi). Later generations took Jiedi as their surname, and later changed their surname to Quwo.

First, the origin of surnames

Qu surname has a pure origin, which has two sources:

1, from Ji surname, taking place name as surname. According to "Customs", in the ancient Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wuwang sealed his third son in Jin, and this prince was named. Yu Shu's eighth grandson was Jin Muhou of the State of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Jin Muhou made his youngest son the leader of the Quwo people's place (in the northeast of wenxi county, Shanxi Province). The master's grandson takes Jiedi as his surname, which belongs to Quwo. Later, it was changed to a single surname, and the surname Qu was passed down from generation to generation.

2. It originated from the solution of minister Qu Inverse, and its descendants also formed a surname Qu.

Ancestor: Uncle Qu Wohuan. Shi Cheng, a native of Jin State in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Early Eastern Zhou Dynasty, is the ninth grandson of three sons, the son of Mu, and the younger brother of Wen Houqiu. When Qiu Zi was a Marquis, Uncle Qu Wohuan was named after Uncle Qu Wohuan. The land of Quwo is bigger than the capital of gold, and Uncle Huan's virtue is noble, which is quite popular among Quwo citizens. Pan Fu, the minister at the end of the Jin Dynasty, got to know Uncle Huan, who was defeated by Qu Wo because of the common enemy of Jin people, and died of depression several years later (732 BC). His son Quwo Zhuangbo once mobilized troops to attack Jin, but it didn't work. When it spread to his grandson, Wu's Quwo, the family was strong and popular. He killed three kings in succession (Aihou, Filial Son Hou and Houjin), and took Jin as a vassal, which was called Duke Wu of Jin in history. After the Jin Dynasty, Wu Gong was still a wing of the former capital of Jin (now Yicheng, Shanxi), but the clan who stayed in Quwo took the land as its surname, later called Quwo's, and respected Uncle Quwo as its ancestor.
