杜氏圖騰釋義 

【釋義】 字義象形。杜，從木、從土，「土」字標聲。杜的本義是一種樹木的名稱，即「杜梨」，也稱為「甘棠」。

【起源】 杜姓最早可追溯至黃帝時期發明酒的杜康。但因杜康以後的世系缺乏文字記載，故部分姓氏書籍認為杜氏是以國為氏。西周初期，劉累的後裔原本在唐國者被移封於「杜」（今陝西西安東南），建立杜國，稱為杜伯。周宣王時，杜國國君杜伯入朝擔任大夫，因受人誣陷而被無罪殺害。杜國因此滅亡，部分子孫以原國名為姓氏，這就是杜氏。

Interpretation of the Du Clan Totem

 [Definition] The character's meaning is pictographic. "Du" (杜) is composed of "Mu" (木 - wood) and "Tu" (土 - earth), with "Tu" serving as the phonetic component. The original meaning of Du is the name of a tree, specifically the Du Li (Birchleaf Pear), also known as Gantang.

[Origin] The Du surname began with Du Keng, who invented alcohol during the era of the Yellow Emperor. However, because the lineage following Du Keng lacks written records, some genealogical texts consider the Du clan to have originated from a state name. In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, descendants of Liu Lei who resided in the former State of Tang were relocated and enfeoffed in Du (southeast of present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi), where they established the State of Du and were known as Du Bo (Earl of Du). During the reign of King Xuan of Zhou, the ruler of Du, Du Bo, served as a high official at court but was falsely accused and executed despite his innocence. Following the loss of their state, some descendants adopted the former state's name as their surname, forming the Du clan.
