The origin of Zuo surname

1, which originated from the official position, originated from the left country since ancient times and belongs to the country name. According to the historical records "Kao Xing" and "Lu Lan", "In ancient times, there was Zuo Guo (now Fangshan, Lvliang, Shanxi Province), taking the country as the surname, and then there was Zuo Che, the minister of the Yellow Emperor."

It is said that Zuo Che is a direct descendant of ancient Zuo Guo. Because Zuo Guo has no biographies of other founders, his descendants take the name of their ancestors as their surname, and generations are called Zuo's. Therefore, most people in the left clan take the left car as their ancestor.

2. It originated from the surname Jiang, and was named after the ancestors after Qi Huangong in the Spring and Autumn Period. According to the historical book Guangyun, Qi Huangong had left and right sons in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the descendants of the left son took their ancestors' names as their surnames, which were passed down from generation to generation.

3. Originated from Jews, Jews who moved to the Central Plains during the Song Dynasty, belong to the sinicization and changed their surnames to surname. During the Northern Song Dynasty, a large number of Jews stayed in the Central Plains (now Kaifeng, Henan), and some of their descendants took the Chinese character "Zuo" as their surname according to China custom.
