Surname source: the initial surname comes from the Qi surname, which was changed to the initial surname due to the emperor's slip of the tongue. In the Northern Song Dynasty 10 10, the emperor called Qi Yong, who was the foreign minister in charge of money and grain, and mistakenly called Qi Qing's family Chu Qing's family. Because no one dared to point out the emperor's slip of the tongue, he changed his surname from Qi Yong's grandfather Chu Huian to Chu Huian. So the ancestor of the first surname is Chu Huian.

Migration route: The ancestors moved from Hengyang, Hunan Province to Jiangling, Hubei Province (now Jingzhou City), then to Xingshan, Jinzhou, Liaoning Province (early Tang Dynasty), and then moved to Zhifu Island, Shandong Province (under the jurisdiction of Yantai) at the end of Tang Dynasty. 1840 after the lifting of the ban in the northeast, he moved from Shandong to Liaoning, Heilongjiang and Jilin. More initial surnames. It is distributed in all countries.

Anecdote: Chu: My family lives in Penglai Village, and there was a memorial tablet dedicated to Chu in the ancestral hall. Although our family and Chu share the same surname, their pedigrees are far apart, and there is no way to sort them out. The reason why they should be enshrined is because Chu's right is very good.

During Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, someone in my family opened a rice mill in Beijing. There is a rich family next to the workshop, and they want to close the workshop on the grounds that the noise of rice disturbs their rest. My people have no friends in Beijing. Faced with persecution, they have no choice but to leave Beijing and return to their hometown. When packing, the neighbor who came to visit said, "Why not ask Chu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War at that time?" ? My people say that I am not related to Chu by blood, nor am I a fellow villager, but a powerful person. I'm Shu Ren, so I'm afraid people won't help me. The neighbor said that you can't write two initials in one stroke. Try it. In order to make a living, my people went to Peng Ling, Chu with trepidation. At first, Peng Ling warmly received people with the same surname. After understanding the purpose, he said it was inconvenient to get involved in this matter. He came up with an idea: one day, he got off the sedan chair in front of our people's workshop and told our people not to pick him up. After he entered the workshop, our people made a cup of tea on the table in the yard and then went on working. He took a few sips of water and left, not wanting to send him away. A few days later, Chu did visit, and my people followed the plan. As a result, the rich man did not come to make things difficult, but moved away. Since then, our ancestral temple has enshrined the memorial tablet of early Peng Ling and erected a monument (this monument was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution).
