Famous Story

Migration and Distribution The Shu surname is not listed among the top 100 surnames in the Chinese mainland and Taiwan. It is recorded as the 255th surname in the "Hundred Family Surnames". The Shu surname originated in the ancient Warring States period and was derived together with surnames like Yi. At that time, it was a royal surname. The distant relatives of the Tian family in the Qi State were prosperous, and they are the early origin of the Shu surname. Later, in the Western Han Dynasty, Doctor Shu Guang was a well - known virtuous official at that time. He was a descendant of the distant relatives of the Shu family in the Qi State. His great - grandson, named Mengda, in order to avoid the difficulties caused by Wang Mang, moved from the East China Sea area to Yangping (in present - day Shandong Province. Another saying is that he moved to Shalu in Hebei Province, which is in present - day Daming County, Hebei Province). After the relocation, he removed the "pi" character from the "Shu" surname and changed it to "Shu", which is the origin of today's Shu surname. The Shu surname is distributed throughout the country, especially in provinces such as Jiangsu and Anhui.

"Shu" was an ancient weapon. It is said that a descendant of Yan Emperor Shennong invented the archery target, and Emperor Yao therefore enfeoffed him as the Marquis of Shu and bestowed the surname Shu on him. Another legend goes that Bailing, the grandson of Yan Emperor Shennong, fell in love at first sight with A Nü Yuán Fù, the wife of Wu Quan, a commoner, and the two had a secret relationship. Later, Yuán Fù gave birth to three sons for Bailing. The third son was named Shu, the inventor of the archery target. Therefore, Emperor Yao enfeoffed him as the Marquis of Shu and bestowed the surname Shu on him. The Shu clan are the descendants of Shu.
