– 256 BC
), Ji Du 姬度. Ji Du was awarded the title of marquis
(hóu) of the State of Cai
(centered on what is now Shangcai, Zhumadian
, Henan
, China
), and he was known as Cai Shudu ("Uncle Cai"). Together with Guan Shu and Huo Shu, they were known as the Three Guards. When King Wu died, his son King Cheng
was too young and his uncle, the Duke of Zhou
, became regent
. Seeing that the power of the Duke of Zhou was increasing, the Three Guards got jealous and rebelled against Zhou together with Wu Geng. The Duke of Zhou suppressed the rebellion, and Cai Shu was exiled. King Cheng reestablished Cai Shu’s son Wu as the Duke of Cai. Some 600 years later in the Warring States Period
, the State of Chu
conquered Cai in 447 BC
and was itself conquered by the Qin state
which, in turn, formed the Qin Empire
, China's first empire. With the spread of family name
s to all social classes in the new empire, many people of the former state of Cai began to bear it as a surname.
The Cai descendants have undertaken two major migrations. During the Huang Chao Rebellion (AD
875) at the end of the Tang Dynasty
(AD 618-907), the Cai clan migrated to Guangdong
and Fujian
provinces. Another later migration occurred when Ming Dynasty
loyalist Koxinga
moved military officials surnamed Cai and their families to Taiwan
in the 17th century. As a result, the surname is far more common in these areas and in areas settled by their descendants (e.g., Southeast Asia
) than in other parts of China.

In Thailand, most Thais of Chinese descendance use Thai surnames. Legislation by Siamese King Rama VI (1910-1925)
required the adoption of Thai surnames which was largely directed at easing tensions with Chinese community by encouraging assimilation. Thai law did not (and does not) allow identical surnames to those already in existence, so ethnic Chinese formerly surnamed Chua incorporating words that sound like "Chua" and have good meaning (such as Chai, meaning "victory") into much longer surnames.
