The migration and distribution of Di surname

Dickens is an ancient surname group with many origins. In today's China surname list, it is not among the top 300 surnames, but ranks 509th in Taiwan Province Province, with Hexi and Zhongshan as counties. The Di family entered the mainland from the Han Dynasty, and soon began to spread to Dingzhou, Hebei, Linfen, Shanxi and other places, where it thrived for a long time and gradually became a local family. In ancient times, these two places were called Zhongshan County and Hexi County respectively, so later Di clan people took Zhongshan County and Hexi County as their names.

From the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Di clan still flourished in the above two places, especially in Zhongshan County, where the Di clan was the most radiant and its celebrities came forth in large numbers and went down in history. Among them, Di Zhen moved from Zhongshan to Quyang (now Quyang in Hebei) to Wuchuan (now Wuchuan in Inner Mongolia). From the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, there was chaos in the world, warlordism, warlord disputes, the rise of peasant troops everywhere, the collapse of the Tang Dynasty regime, and the displacement of the people in the Central Plains. In order to escape the war, the Di clan moved south to Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan and other places. However, because the Di people's main residence is far from the hardest hit areas, the Di people living in Dingzhou, Hebei Province and Linfen, Shanxi Province have not been harmed. This sign can be obtained from the analysis of celebrities of Di in Jin and Yuan Dynasties. During the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, the Tang people in Baoding (now Baoding, Hebei Province) moved to Quyang, indicating that Di still took Dingzhou, Hebei Province as the breeding center. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, there was social unrest, and the population of Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Central South decreased sharply. Only Shanxi, which has a unique geographical position, survived. Therefore, in the early Ming Dynasty, as one of the surnames of people who moved, Shanxi Di moved to Hebei, Tianjin, Beijing, Henan, Shandong and other places. After the middle of Ming Dynasty, the distribution of Di clan people in the whole country further expanded. In addition to entering the northeast, some people moved to the northwest, southwest and Taiwan Province province. After the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, the Di clan in Shanxi entered Inner Mongolia in a westward trend and gradually distributed in the border areas of Shaanxi, Shanxi and Mongolia.

Di clan people are widely distributed throughout the country, and Hebei Province still accounts for the majority, accounting for about 70% of the national Di clan population.
