Old Master Xie accepted the box and took out the token. He rubbed it gently with a complicated expression. "The Xie Residence is a remnant of the Yue Country. Later on, when the Yue Country was destroyed, our branch moved to Quanzhou to settle down and changed our surname to Xie. From then on, we hid our identities. This token is our proof as descendants of the Si Clan."
Yin Huaixi was shocked.
The King of Yue Country's surname was Si, and Si was the surname that Shun had given to Yu. After King Yue moved his base to Langye, in order to dominate the Central Plains and become one of the great powers, he gave himself the title of "the King of Yuee Country." He proactively absorbed the culture of the Central Plains and coexisted peacefully with the Emperor and the Marquis of the Central Plains at that time, maintaining a long period of peaceful rule.
This was a fusion of the Yue culture and the Han culture of the Central Plains.
