Wang Xia Shao Kang gave his youngest son Qu Lie a fief as the kingdom of the viscount, which is called Guo Zi. After the extinction of Zhi State, the King Zhi Wu went to neighboring Shandong and took the original country name Zhi as his surname, but removed Yi to show that he did not forget his ancestors when he left his old city, so he called it Zeng.
