提到周姓，大家可能首先想到的是那个曾经辉煌一时的周朝。但你知道吗？周姓的起源可不止于此哦！据史料记载，周姓最早可以追溯到西周时期。周武王灭商后，建立了周朝，他的后代便以国名为姓，形成了周姓的最初来源之一✨。

除了这一支源流，周姓还有其他分支。比如春秋时期，晋国有一位大夫叫周定公，他的子孙也以周为姓。此外，南北朝时，北魏时期的鲜卑族拓跋部改姓周，也为周姓注入了新的血液/Branches of Zhou surname also originated from other historical events. For instance, during the Spring and Autumn Period, there was Lord Zhou Dinggong in the State of Jin. His descendants adopted the surname Zhou as well. In addition, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, some members of the Xianbei ethnic group under the Tuoba clan changed their surnames to Zhou, adding fresh blood to this surname.

如今，周姓已成为中国一大常见姓氏，分布广泛且人口众多。无论你是哪一支周姓的后裔，这份悠久的历史都值得骄傲和传承 ❤️。
