A textual research on the origin of yin family in fuyang area.

The origin of the Yin surname is described in detail in the Compilation of Surnames, which says: "The Yin surname, the national surname, was also destroyed by Zhou in 629, and later people took the country as their surname, named Runan." Zhou Wuwang was destroyed in 1 122 BC. In other words, the Yin surname of later generations appeared 3 100 years ago, and their original birthplace was also in Henan and Hebei in the north.

In addition, there is a Yin surname, which also originated in Henan. This is based on the surname note in the Collection of Nine Articles written by You Shi in the Han Dynasty, which reads, "Yinshui is in Yingchuan, and people who live there think they are surnames." This group of people named Yin "defined the clan by the land", which made the lineup of Yin family stronger and larger in later generations.

After the destruction of the Shang Dynasty by the King of Wu, although "the descendants were scattered and took the country as their surname", the activities of their descendants mainly flourished in the north of China, because during the long period from Han Dynasty to Tang and Song Dynasties, almost all the celebrities surnamed Yin in history were northerners, among which the Yin family in Changping, Henan Province was the most prominent, and Changping in ancient times was in the northeast of Xihua County, Henan Province.

Fuyang you asked is in Henan province, so it should be these two possibilities. There's another paragraph. Shui Ying in Shuijing notes that: "Shui Ying (that is, Yingchuan, now Yuzhou City, Henan Province) passes through the north of Xihua County ... and one story is in the east and the other is in the west." Xihua and Donghua are called each other and must be near Xihua. According to Zhu's textual research, Donghua City is located in Eastern Xia Pavilion in the northeast of Xihua County. The above-mentioned Water Classic Notes on Sand Water says that sand water flows to the west of Donghua City and to Chen Chengbei (now Huaiyang, Henan Province) in the south. According to "China Local Records, Huaiyang County Records and Geography Records", "Changping Old Town is seventy miles northwest of the county." This is today's Dongxiating Town.

These three paragraphs essentially show that most of the Yin family are in Henan, and they are basically the same family.
