The surname is what we have as soon as we are born, it represents a family and blood relations, and some surnames have been passed down for thousands of years, recording the historical changes of family fortune and even national fortune. Each surname has its representative figure, so the surname is not noble, but if there is a good surname, how to take the name will be good, the surname is not good, how to take the name is not good. China has an ancient surname, not only unpleasant, but also makes many women embarrassed and difficult to express, so they have to secretly choose to change their names and surnames.
