(1) The origin and migration of the He family in Wangping Village
The surname He originated from the Ji clan, descending from Han Wu Zi (Han Wan), a descendant of Tang Shu Yu, brother of King Cheng of Zhou. Han Wu Zis third-generation grandson, Han Jue, was enfeoffed as Han Yuan. Han Jue became one of the six ministers of the State of Jin, known as Han Xianzi. His descendants, along with the states of Zhao and Wei, divided the State of Jin among themselves. They subsequently conquered the State of Zheng and established their capital in the city of Zheng, which is now Xinzheng City in Henan Province, founding the State of Han. Han entered the ranks of the Seven Warring States (Qin, Qi, Yan, Chu, Han, Zhao, Wei). Ninety years later, in 230 BC, King An of Han ascended the throne but reigned for only nine years before Qin conquered the six states. After the fall of Han, Prince Wangsun fled to the Huai and Yangtze regions, where the local Han River was phonetically similar to the surname He, leading to the adoption of He as the new surname.
The He family of Tongjiang originated from He Zizhen, the first ancestor who entered the county. He was a descendant of He Wu from Pixian County. During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, around 1030 AD, he passed the imperial examination and was appointed as the magistrate of Tongjiang County. Later, he was promoted to the position of chief clerk in Bishan Prefecture. Upon completing his term, he settled in Tingzi Creek (now Gaoming New District) with his official land.

(2) The origin and migration of the Wang family in Wangping Village
The surname Wang originated from the Ji surname. The ancient Yellow Emperor was surnamed Ji, with the title of Xuanyuan and Youxiong. The tribe he led was called the Yellow Emperor clan and lived in the northwest.
The Wang surname has ten origins, which can be summarized as follows. Today, it is recorded to originate from Prince Jin of the Zhou Lingwang. Prince Jin, also known as Prince Jin of the State of Wei, Prince Qiao, and Wang Qiao, is believed to be a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, the cultural ancestor of the Chinese people. His original wife was Leizu, daughter of Xiling, who bore him two sons: the elder named Xuanqi, and the younger named Changyi. Xuanqi, also known as Qingyang, had a son named Xiejie, who became Emperor Ku (Gaoxin). Ku gathered four consorts; his first consort Tai gave birth to Houji, named Qi, who was the progenitor of the Zhou dynasty. She also had sons named Buji, Jutao, Gongliu, Qingjie, Huangpu, Chafu, Huyu, Gongfei, and Gaoyu Yaya. She also had sons named Gongshuzu Lei and Gugong Danfu, as well as Taibo Yu Zhong and Jili. Taoyu said to Gu Gong, “In our lineage, there will surely be one who will rise to prominence. Is it not in Chang?” This indicates that Gu Gong intended to establish Jili as the successor to ensure prosperity. Therefore, he fled to Jingman, where he tattooed himself and cut off his hair to show respect for Jili. Jili then had sons named Jiachang (historically known as King Wen of Zhou) and Ji Fa (historically known as King Wu of Zhou), who lived at the end of the Shang dynasty. They led their followers to overthrow the Shang and establish the Zhou dynasty. From King Wu, the lineage passed down through 21 generations until Ji Xiaoxin (historically known as King Lingwang), who was the biological father of Prince Jin, the progenitor of the Wang surname.
The Wang family of Wangping Village is a descendant of Wang Ding, the ancestor of Mashiya in Macheng Town. Wang Benliang, the 16th-generation grandson of Wang Ding, moved from Mashiya to Wangping, Wangjiahe, Zhaiziwan, and Mapengkan during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The branch of Wang Mingyi from Zhaiziwan migrated from Zhanma Mountain in Sima Township, Pingchang County, in the sixteenth year of the Republic of China (1927).

He was credited with successful flood control and agricultural development, which strengthened his clans power. He also won a victory over the Sanmiao, consolidating his royal authority. After his death, he was buried in Kuaiji, now known as Shaoxing in Zhejiang Province, and his son Qi established the first dynasty in Chinese history—the Xia Dynasty. During the reign of King Shaokang of Xia, his youngest son was enfeoffed in Kuaiji to oversee the sacrifices dedicated to Yu. This youngest son, following local customs at the time, founded the state of Yue. The descendants of Yue, being collateral branches of King Shaokangs younger son (i.e., collateral descendants), adopted Yu as their surname.
The ancestor of the Yu family in Wangping Village, Shaxi Town, is Chongxiao, the seventh-generation ancestor of the Yu clan, who lived on Meng Mountain in Qu County. Later, due to war, he moved to Tongjiang Liao Ping at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty.
