It explores the rise and fall of ancestral tablets, the characteristics of clan culture, famous figures of all dynasties, and historical landmarks. It speaks through history and speaks history through stories, blending literature and history in a conversational manner. It answers questions like "Where does your surname come from?" "Where does your root begin?" "Who is your ancestor?" "Where is your ancestral seat?" "How did your clan gather and disperse?" "Who are the famous figures?" "What was the past like?" and "What is the present like?" Surnames are the dawn of civilization, the mark of bloodline, the bond of marriage, the beginning of tribes, and the foundation of the nation. The earliest nation to use surnames is the Chinese nation. The common ancestors of the Chinese nation are the Yellow Emperor and the Flame Emperor. The descendants of the Flame Emperor have branched out into over 12,000 surnames. They have spread across regions and borders, even integrating into other ethnic groups to form new nations. The Chinese nation has made significant contributions to the development of human civilization and is one of the oldest nations in the world, as well as one of the finest. This book vividly and accurately introduces the history of the Wu surname from ancient to modern times.

For over two thousand years since the Wu surname came into being, many stories of rise and fall have been passed down through the ages, and numerous admirable famous figures have emerged, making the Wu surname one of the major surnames with significant influence in Chinese history.
