Gu Family History 古家史
Shanxi 山西
山西確實是古氏姓氏的重要發源地與遷徙中繼站。古氏鼻祖為古公亶父（周太王），其後裔在北魏時期世居代州 （今山西省代縣），並因當地設新安郡，古氏遂以「新安」為堂號，成為當地旺族。
Shanxi is indeed an important origin and migration stop for the Gu surname. The progenitor of the Gu clan was Gu Gong Danfu (King Tai of Zhou), whose descendants lived in Daizhou (present-day Daixian County, Shanxi Province) during the Northern Wei Dynasty. Because Xin'an Prefecture was established there, the Gu clan adopted "Xin'an" as their ancestral hall name and became a prominent family in the area.

Gugong Danfu—bearing the surname Ji and the personal name Dan (also known as King Tai of Zhou)—was a native of Bin (modern-day Xunyi, Shaanxi). He was a leader of the ancient Zhou clan, a ruler holding the title of *Xibo* (Lord of the West), the grandfather of King Wen of Zhou, and a founding figure of the Zhou Dynasty. Inscriptions on the *Wu Wang Zheng Shang Gui* (a ritual bronze vessel from the time of King Wu’s campaign against the Shang) refer to him as "Duke Tan. "Calculations indicate that Gugong Danfu was the 17th-generation descendant of the Yellow Emperor (Xuanyuan) and the 12th-generation descendant of Houji, the progenitor of the Zhou people. In the history of the Zhou people's development, he was a pivotal figure who carried forward the great achievements of Houji and Gongliu while paving the way for the flourishing eras of King Wen and King Wu; he was a statesman, reformer, and military strategist of great vision, as well as a renowned and virtuous ruler in history.
唐憲宗元和年間（806—820年），世居山西臨汾（古稱平陽府）的古氏先祖古云應（又名古念五）出任洪州通判，後遷居江西南昌，成為客家古氏入籍贛南的一世祖。這一遷徙路徑確立了山西作為古氏早期繁衍基地及後續南遷重要中繼站的历史地位。
During the Yuanhe era of Emperor Xianzong of Tang (806-820), Gu Yunying (also known as Gu Nianwu), an ancestor of the Gu clan who had lived in Linfen, Shanxi (formerly Pingyang Prefecture), served as the Tongpan (assistant prefect) of Hongzhou. He later moved to Nanchang, Jiangxi, becoming the first ancestor of the Hakka Gu clan to settle in southern Jiangxi. This migration route established Shanxi's historical status as an early base for the Gu clan's propagation and an important transit point for their subsequent southward migration.
