Among the feudal lords with the surname Ji in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, there was Shen (one author) Dan), was a viscount, and was called Shen Ziguo. In the north of Pingyu in present-day Henan, the first king was Ji Zai, the son of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty. In 506 BC, he was destroyed by Cai State, and his descendants took the country as their surname, which was Shen's family. In ancient times, there was a Shen State, which was built in the Fenhe River Basin of Shanxi today by the Shaohao Jintian family. It was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period. Their descendants took the country as their surname, and also had the surname Shen.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Shen family mainly developed and multiplied in southern Henan and northern Hubei. At the end of the Warring States period, there was Shen Ying, a descendant of Dan, who lived in Shenqiu and had Gao Xing. Qin Zheng was the prime minister, but he refused to settle down and built a Shen Pavilion on the bank of Yingshui, where he fished all his life. Shen Ying's grandson Shen Sui was a doctor of Qin, and his grandson Shen Zun was the Taifu of the King of Qi during the Western Han Dynasty. He was granted the title of Dehou and moved to Shouchun, Jiujiang (now Shouchun County, Anhui). Shen Zun's ninth grandson, Shen Jing, served as the prefect of Jiyin at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. He avoided Wang Mang's troubles and lived in seclusion in Tongbai Mountain. He had three sons: Xun, Rong, and Tai. Shen Rong was engaged in Jiujiang in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The Shen family of Wuxing took "Wuxing" as their hall name.
Kuaiji Gu family:
1. His surname is Kunwu. According to legend, Emperor Zhuanxu had a grandson named Wu Hui, who was the younger brother of Zhu Rongli and also named Zhu Rong. Wu Hui's son Lu Zhong married the daughter of the Gui Fang family and gave birth to six sons. The eldest son was named Fan and was given his own surname. He was granted the title of Kunwu Kingdom (today's east of Xuchang, Henan), and his descendants were the Kunwu family. During the Xia Dynasty, a descendant of the Kunwu family was granted the title of Gu State (southeast of today's Fan County, Henan Province) and was called Gu Bo. They were one of the important allies of the Xia Dynasty. At the end of summer, Gu State was attacked and destroyed by Shang Tang. The descendants of Uncle Gu who were scattered all over the country took the country as their surname and called it the Gu family. 2. Descendants of Gou Jian, King of Yue. According to legend, Dayu was buried in Kuaiji after his death, and his son Qi built an ancestral temple on the mountain to worship him. Emperor Shaokang of the Xia Dynasty later granted his concubine Wuyu a place in Kuaiji to preside over Yu's sacrifices, established the Yue State, and established Duji (today's Shaoxing, Zhejiang). Later generations named their surname after the country and called it Yue. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Yue often fought with the State of Wu, and was defeated by the State of Wu in 494 BC. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, worked hard and tried his best to become stronger. Finally, in 473 BC, he conquered the state of Wu and expanded northward, becoming the overlord. During the Warring States Period, it was destroyed by Chu in 306 BC. The 7th generation Sun Yao passed from Qin to Han and passed to Goujian.

The surname Gu is known as Zhengzong in history.

Gu Duhuang: The last celebrity in the south of the Yangtze River
The Gu family's "Guo Yun Tower" collection is half of the Shanghai Museum
Gu Duhuang was born in a famous family, what is his name? What about hope? His friend told me that Yiyuan on Renmin Road belongs to his family. I ran to Renmin Road and it was really amazing. "There are wine and flower teams, dances on the pavilion and song stage, spring orioles whispering from every door, BMW carvings and car fragrances fill the road; books, poems and ladles, pen beds and tea stoves, my feelings are in the light dust, there are three paths of bamboo and thousands of poles in the old home." Although the owners of the Gu family have all left, it seems as if they have just left. Everything here is privately created and exquisite.
Note: The glory of the six major families is just history, not reality. The reality is that there are more cultural celebrities. For example, Bolingcui and Langya kings were once very prosperous, but now they are silent.
