The lineage traces back to the descendants of Emperor Yao, one of the legendary Five Emperors of ancient China. During the Shang Dynasty, a descendant of Emperor Yao was granted the title of 'Yu Long Shi' for his skill in taming dragons. His descendants were later granted the land of Du, and upon the fall of the state, they adopted the name 'Du' as their surname.
