Famous Story
### Migration and Distribution (Information lacking) The Yu (庾) surname is not ranked among the top 100 surnames in the Mainland and Taiwan. In ancient times, Yu referred to the transit warehouses for water transportation. The officials in the court who were in charge of these warehouses were called "Zhang Yu Da Fu" (officials in charge of Yu warehouses). During the time of Emperor Yao, some people inherited this official position, and later took the official title as their surname, thus becoming the Yu clan. The Yu surname is also an ancient one, and its members have scattered across various provinces and cities in China over time. There is a story in ancient books that to avoid being killed by Guan Yunchang, Cao Cao pleaded with General Guan Yunchang to read the "Spring and Autumn Annals" about the story of Yu Gongzhi Si chasing Zi Zhuoruzi. During the Han Dynasty, Yu Pi and his son taught in the imperial court; Yu Sheng and his brother garrisoned at Hengpu Pass on Tailing in Guangdong. To commemorate their achievements, the pass was renamed Dayu Ridge. During the Wei, Jin, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Yu Cheng, Yu Yi, Yu Dun, Yu Liang, Yu Yi, Yu Bing, Yu Wenjun, and Yu Daolian were from Yanling, Yingchuan, Henan Province, while Yu Jianwu and Yu Xin were from Xinye, Nanyang, Henan Province. In his "Elegy for the South" ode, Yu Xin said, "My family has held the position related to Yu since the Zhou Dynasty. We became a clan through generations of meritorious services. We assisted the Han Dynasty in governing the country and held high - ranking official positions." This means that the ancestors of the Yu clan served as Sikong (a high - ranking official position) in the Han Dynasty, played an important role in the establishment and governance of the dynasty, and participated in high - level state affairs and discussions. It can be seen that famous Yu clan members emerged one after another over the past 3000 years, being active in the political and cultural circles. Yu Liang held both military and political powers and had remarkable achievements. Yu Xin was well - read and his works represented the culmination of the Six Dynasties' literature. The great Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu praised him by saying, "Yu Xin's writing became even more profound in his later years." The Yu clan was then regarded as a noble and honorable clan known for loyalty and integrity. Today, there is a memorial shrine for Prefect Yu Hui and steles inscribed by Hu in Xinye, Henan Province to commend his virtuous governance. The members of the Yu clan have made contributions to social development and have a glorious page in the great Chinese cultural family that will be remembered forever. The old man Yu Yuliang, who compiled the "History of the Yu Clan", wrote in his book that in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a famous general of the Yu clan was ordered to visit Korea. This is the origin and the kinship that the Yu clan in South Korea wants to trace. According to the population statistics of South Korea on November 1st, 2001, among the 286 surnames in the country, the Yu surname ranked 97th, with a population of 16,802. According to the 2001 national population census in China, there were about 50,000 people with the Yu surname, distributed all over the country. Many university professors, radio stations, newspapers, and periodicals have mistakenly written the character "庾" as "庚", "瘦", "唐", or "廖". Before the 1972 edition of the Chinese Xinhua Dictionary, the character "庾" was only explained as "Dayu Ridge", which is located at the junction of Guangdong and Jiangxi Provinces. In 1977, when I was studying at Shanxi University, I wrote a letter to the editorial department of the Beijing Xinhua Dictionary, asking them to add the meaning of "surname". Today, there are descendants of the Yu clan in Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi, Gansu, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Yunnan and other places. According to the "History of the Yu Clan in Guangdong", the ancestor of the Yu clan in Guangdong was Yu Dongyang. He served in the Song Dynasty. During the Yuanyou period of the Northern Song Dynasty, he came to Guangdong from Nanjing and served as the military and administrative governor of Guangnan Road. He brought his family to Yangcheng (present - day Guangzhou). His second - generation descendant, Yu Guan, served as the supervisor of Guangnan East Road during the Zhenghe period of the Song Dynasty. Because he found the scenery in Dongguan beautiful, he settled in Chaoyuan (present - day Chashan Town) in Dongguan and named the place Yujiafang. Around 1392 (the 25th year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty), Yu Dexin, the eighth - generation descendant, fled with his father from Yujiafang in Chaoyuan to Guyong (Chong), and later a branch of the family moved to Xiyong Qishi Village. (The rest is omitted.)

Famous Story
Migration and Distribution (Not available) The Yu surname is not listed among the top 100 surnames in the mainland and Taiwan. The Yu surname is now rare, but perhaps many people know about Yu Xuanji, a famous female Taoist priest and poet in the Tang Dynasty. The Yu surname originated from the Zi surname, and its ancestor is Zi Yu, the younger brother of Duke Xiang of Song in the Spring and Autumn Period. Zi Yu was resourceful and often offered strategies to Duke Xiang of Song, but Duke Xiang was pedantic and conservative, often suffering defeats. In the Battle of Hongshui between Song and Chu, Zi Yu advised Duke Xiang to attack the enemy while the Chu army was crossing the river, but Duke Xiang didn't follow the advice. After the Chu army crossed the Hongshui River, Zi Yu again advised Duke Xiang to repel the enemy while the Chu army's formation was not in order and they were not firmly established, but Duke Xiang still didn't follow. Duke Xiang thought that fighting according to Zi Yu's suggestion would be too unkind to the enemy. As can be imagined, the Song army was finally defeated miserably. Duke Xiang thus became the laughingstock of the people, while Zi Yu's arguments on the war became famous in history. From then on, the descendants took his name as their surname, thus creating the Yu surname.
