What is China's surname?

In the last years of Tang Tianbao, the Jinshi sealed the performance of Feng Shiwen Ji Jian, which recorded a joke: the wife of Shannan County Magistrate, surnamed Wu, was arrogant because she was a county grandfather. One day, Mrs Wu met the wife of a subordinate official. She pointed to Mrs. Zapho and asked her last name. The man timidly replied, "My name is Lu." I asked the lady of the main book again and replied, "Last name is Qi". Mrs. Wu's face is full of unhappiness. She left the guest and stormed into the back room. Seeing that the county grandfather was too angry, she said, "My name is Wu, and their names are Lu and Qi. If you keep asking, there may be some! Their surnames are all older than mine, and they deliberately target me! " The county grandfather is too ignorant and arrogant, which is ridiculous, but it also reflects that China people have too many surnames, and some surnames are rarely heard. "Strange in a sparse room" made a joke. So how many surnames do China people have?

As far as the distribution of surnames is concerned, the area with multiple surnames is often the area with earlier human activities, while the area with single surnames develops relatively late. Shaanxi is one of the birthplaces of ancient civilization in China, and Lantian people, a famous early human in China, have been active in this area for a long time. Therefore, the situation of surnames is quite complicated. There are about 450 surnames, among which "Lu", "Party", "Quan" and "Yu" are all unique surnames in Shaanxi, which are rare in other regions. Another example is Beijing, which has been the political center of China for more than 400 years, from the Liao Dynasty, through the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, to the founding of New China after liberation. Heroes and people from all directions gathered in Kyoto, and ethnic minorities such as Han, Manchu, Mongolian and Hui also came to Beijing from the Commissioner's Office at noon, and some of them settled in Beijing from then on. As Beijing is the political center of past dynasties, there are as many as 450 surnames, including the rare "East" surnames in other regions. & amp]y6F 1？ Sm & ampe fV(K

On the contrary, Fujian, Guangdong and other regions were not only developed late, but also called "people with the tongue of Man Zi" by Yang Xiong, the ancestor of dialect family, and these regions were dominated by local economy and culture for a long time, so there were less than 300 surnames in these two provinces. However, with the deepening of reform and opening up and the rapid development of economy and culture in these two regions, it is inevitable that people from all over the world will come here to do business, communicate and settle down, and their surnames will become increasingly complicated.

For example, during the Ming dynasty, my aunt died, and someone in the DPRK made a eulogy, thinking that there was no "Ye" surname, so it was assumed that it was changed to "Yi". When the gift arrived, Qian Ning refused to accept it until he understood it and changed it to "Ye". However, there are also cases where celebrities appear in rare surnames, so rare surnames are "not rare", such as Xian of musician Xian Xinghai and Dao Meilan of dancer.
