Migration and Distribution: (Missing) The Pu surname is not ranked among the top 100 surnames in the Chinese mainland and Taiwan. The main origins of the Pu surname are as follows: According to the "Lu Shi," the Pu surname is derived from the descendants of San, the son of Emperor Shun, who was enfeoffed in Pu. His descendants later took Pu as their surname and became known as the Pu clan. According to the "Xing Yuan," the origin is that a high - ranking official in the State of Wei had his fief in Pu, and his descendants adopted the place name as their surname, which has a history of two or three thousand years. According to the "Lu Shi," the Pu clan belongs to the Bai Pu ethnic group. The so - called Bai Pu ethnic group is the ethnic minority mentioned in the "Zuo Zhuan - Year Sixteen of Duke Wen." The people of Mi once led the Bai Pu ethnic group to gather in Xuan to prepare to launch a campaign against the State of Chu. The main activity area of the Bai Pu ethnic group was in the southeast of present - day Shishou County, Hubei Province. Later, they migrated and settled on both sides of the Pu River in Henan, becoming a well - known surname in Henan. The Pu clan has also been quite famous in central Sichuan. Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it has been one of the "Seven Surnames in Bazhong." According to scholars' research, the Pu clan in Sichuan originally migrated from Hubei. The prosperous clan was located in the Lu State Commandery, which is now the western part of Zixian County, Shandong Province.
