Translated from the Chinese article, which is the one that is edited (read it in Chinese).

Wu (邬) is one of the Chinese surnames. It comes mainly from the town of Wu (邬邑) in the state of Jin in the Spring and Autumn period.[1]

Origin of the surname[edit]

In the Spring and Autumn period, after the state of Jin destroyed the Qi (祁) clan, it divided their lands into seven counties, of which Wu (northeast of today's Jiexiu, 介休, Shanxi) was one, and made Sima Mimou (司马弥牟) the Grandee of Wu (邬大夫). His descendants took the name of the town as their surname and were called the Wu.[1]

Coming to Taishan[edit]

How the Wu came to Taishan and where they live is yet to be added. Family members who know more are welcome to edit this article.
