Surname Origin
Origin of the surname "Jing": It originated from the Jiang surname and was derived from the name of a fief. According to "Xingyuan", during the Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Shang (Taigong Wang) was enfeoffed in the State of Qi. Among his descendants, there was one who served in the State of Yu as a high - ranking official and was enfeoffed in the Jing fief, thus being called Jing Bo. His descendants then took "Jing" as their surname. Later, when the State of Jin annexed the State of Yu, Jing Xi, a descendant of Jing Bo, fled to the State of Qin and was known as Baili Xi.
