How powerful is the Xiong family?

Xiong is one of the oldest surnames in China, which can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is the surname of the nobles of Chu. Xiong has a long history, a huge family and many branches. Xiong's family once had 72 famous families, ranking 68th among hundreds of surnames. The ancestor of the surname is raccoon, which is the descendant of Zhu Rong's family.

Xiong has three obvious characteristics: first, his surname is early and his history is long; Second, the clan is huge and numerous, spreading all over the country, and there are bear clan people everywhere; Third, there are countless talents, and there are outstanding figures of bears in all previous dynasties, especially in the Northern Song Dynasty. Among ethnic minorities, the surname Xiong was changed to Han.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the descendants of Xiong moved to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the surnames of Nanchang and Jiangling remained immortal, with talented people and numerous nationalities. According to the Records of Taiping Universe in the Northern Song Dynasty, among the four surnames of Yuezhou (now Yueyang City, Hunan Province), Xiong is the first of the five surnames (now Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province).

It can be seen that in the Song Dynasty, Xiong was still widely distributed in Nanchang, Jiangxi and Yueyang, Hunan. In the early Song Dynasty, the Xiong family, who moved to Jian 'an (now Jian 'ou County) and other places in Fujian, gradually became a famous family, and many famous families came out in later generations.

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan sent troops to pacify the Southern Song Dynasty, and patriotic general Wen Tianxiang fought to the death, but the building was going to collapse, which was beyond the reach of a single tree. So the royal family of the Southern Song Dynasty fled from Hangzhou to Fujian, and then retreated from Fujian to the isolated island of Guangdong-Cliff Mountain. Wherever Yuan soldiers went, they burned and looted, and the people fled when they heard the news. So some bears in Jiangsu and Zhejiang moved to Fujian, and then entered Guangdong from Fujian to escape the gunfire of war and chaos.

During the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, Xiong, as one of the immigrant surnames who filled Huguang in Jiangxi and Huguang in Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty, moved to Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Anhui and Shaanxi provinces. After the Ming Dynasty, descendants of bears migrated to Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, Hainan and other places.
