Migration and Distribution (Lack of information) The Fu surname is not listed among the top 100 surnames in mainland China and Taiwan. The Fu surname is passed down from Fu Dengshi, a minister of Emperor Yu in ancient times. The family has a history of more than 4,000 years of having the surname. There is another origin of the Fu surname. It is said that in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty when Liu Bang was struggling to build his empire, there was a man named Jia who was good at witchcraft. He helped Liu Bang achieve many feats. Later, when Liu Bang became the emperor, he appointed Jia as the Chief Justice and bestowed the surname Fu on him, meaning to commend his meritorious assistance. Jia's descendants all took Fu as their surname and passed it down from generation to generation, becoming another source of the Fu surname today. According to "Xingshi Jijiu Pian", during the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu bestowed the surname Fu on Fu Jia, the Chief Justice of the Han court. Its place of origin is the Henan Commandery in present - day Henan Province, which is 30 li northeast of present - day Luoyang County, Henan Province. All Fu families across the country migrated from Henan. There is also a prominent clan in the Jingzhao Commandery, which is in the area east of present - day Chang'an, Shaanxi.

### Migration and Distribution The Fu surname is not listed among the top 100 surnames in the Chinese mainland and Taiwan. The Fu surname originated from the Ji surname. Talismans and seals were very important in ancient times. A talisman was a凭证 for ancient monarchs to convey orders and mobilize troops, similar in function to a command arrow. A seal was something like a large stamp. During the Spring and Autumn period, the state of Qin established the position of Talisman and Seal Officer, who was specifically in charge of military talismans and seals. Gong Ya, the grandson of Duke Qing of Lu, once served as the Talisman and Seal Officer in the state of Qin. His descendants also took the official title as their surname and were called the Fu clan, which is the origin of today's Fu surname. The Fu clan originally lived in Langya (now Zhucheng City, Shandong Province). Later, due to the invasion of the Jin people, they migrated south to Wuzhong. During the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, they migrated to various parts of the country, spreading like stars in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Hainan, Hunan and other places. The ancestor of the Fu clan, Lord Bingzheng, together with his wife, Lady Li, crossed the Yangtze River northward from Changmen in Suzhou and settled in Gangmen of Yancheng. From then on, after being passed down to the 14th - generation ancestors, Lords Gongyan, Zhenyan, Shengyan and Youyan, the whole family moved to Dinggang in Zhongzhuang. Later, the 17th - generation ancestor, Lord Huanian, moved to Wangzhuang in Gaozuo. This is the origin of the Jishan Hall branch of the Fu clan. There were four people named Yuansheng, Youchen, Fu Zhu and Daben who moved to Qiong (now Hainan Province) and settled there with the Fu surname. Yuansheng was the 39th - generation descendant of Gong Ya, originally from Wanqiu in Henan. In the second year of Dazhun (891 AD) of Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty, he entered Qiong with his younger brothers Yuanxian and Yuanliang. Youchen was the 43rd - generation descendant of Gong Ya, born in Putian, Fujian. He entered Qiong in the third year of Tiansheng (1025 AD) of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty. Daben was the 54th - generation descendant of Gong Ya. He entered Qiong from Putian, Fujian in the 11th year of Zhizheng (1351 AD) of the Yuan Dynasty. Fu Zhu was also the 43rd - generation descendant of Gong Ya. He entered Qiong from Putian, Fujian in the Kangding period (1040 AD) of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty. The first ancestor of the Fu clan in Shanghai is said to have moved from Longhua Town in Shanghai County to Baiqu in Sanlintang about 200 years ago, and then to Longwangmiao Town (now Huamu Township in Chuansha) in Nanhui County to settle down. Now there are people with the Fu surname in Huamu Township, living in the middle and south streets of Longwangmiao Town... The Fu clan also produced many outstanding figures in history. It is recorded in history that Fu Lingqian, the governor of Zhaozhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty, had remarkable achievements in governance and was called a "benevolent governor" by the common people. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Fu Yanqing, the military governor of Xiongzhou, defeated the Liao troops in Jiashan and Yangcheng. He was enfeoffed as the King of Wei and promoted to the Grand Tutor. The Liao troops were terrified at the mention of his name, so he was called the "King of Wei - style Fu". The glorious Fu clan a thousand years ago originated in the area around Huaiyang County, Henan Province. With this extremely glorious tradition, their descendants gradually migrated to other places. Moreover, the Fu families all over the world, one by one, trace their roots and have never forgotten that their hometown is in Henan. The population with the Fu surname is relatively large. Currently, there are about 1 million people with the Fu surname in China, accounting for about six - thousandths of the Han population in China. There are about 300,000 people with the Fu surname abroad, accounting for about one percent of overseas Chinese. In total, the approximately 1.4 million people with the Fu surname rank between the 100th and 140th among the Han surnames in China today. In a country of 1.3 billion people like China with only 1,000 common surnames, the Fu surname is a large - scale surname ranking among the front. The "Hundred Family Surnames", compiled in the early Northern Song Dynasty and still having a profound influence today, collected 504 surnames, which are the common surnames of the Chinese nation. In addition to its four - character rhyming verses for easy recitation, one of the criteria for arranging the order is "large and prominent families". The Fu surname is also one of the common surnames in the "Hundred Family Surnames" and is included in it. In Hainan Province, the Fu surname is a "large - scale surname" with a large population and significant influence, ranking third among the surnames in the whole province.
