According to the"Qin Ben Ji"written in the Record of Qin,the ancestors of Qin were the descendants of Zhuanxu.Dafei,who had a great contribution in regulating water and taming birds and animals with Da Yu,was given the surname Ying by Emperor Shun.After Dafei's grandson Zhongyan,whose grandson Dalian became a vassal in the Shang Dynasty.Zhongyan's grandson Zhongqi was first seen in Xichui(the western border of Zhou),and his son Feilian's son E Lai worked for King Zhou.The descendants of another son of Feilian,E Lai Ge,were the ancestors of Qin in Xichui."Xie Nian"in the Qinghua Bamboo Slips records that Feilian fled east to Shang-gai,and King Cheng attacked Shang-gai,killed Feilian,and the people of Shang-gai moved west to Zhu,which was the ancestor of Qin.Before that,the surname Ying had been in the East for thousands of years.Some cultural relics unearthed in Lixian County,Gansu Province,like the bronze tripod,gold tiger,gold foil deer,engraved eagle and other ones have some similarities with the ones unearthed in Huimin County,Shandong Province like the tiger stripe tripod,beak tripod foot,deer horn unearthed,which also shows that the ancestors of Qin were the people of Shang-gai.This proves the reliability of the Historical Records and the Qinghua Bamboo Slips,and gives us a new understanding of the history of Qin.
