"Hundred Family Names" and "Three Character Classics" and "Thousand Character Texts" are called "Three Hundred Thousand", these three enlightenment books I think everyone should have read or heard. "Zhao Qiansun Li" is located in the top four of the hundred family names, a large number of people, but also because the "Hundred Family Names" was compiled in the Song Dynasty, the emperor of the Song Dynasty surnamed Zhao, so it ranked first.

According to studies, the number of Surnames in China is very large, and the history is quite long. According to incomplete statistics, there are already more than 5,000 surnames, of which there are more than 3,000 single surnames, more than 2,000 compound surnames, and more than 100 surnames. I don't know what surnames you have? Xiaobian also just learned that he was originally a compound surname, and later changed to a single surname for various reasons.
In fact, the surname was not two words used together at the beginning, but separately. During the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, women were mostly called surnames, and men were mostly called surnames. In the pre-Qin "Chinese Jin Language", it is recorded that the surname represents a person who has a common blood relationship, so the same surname cannot be married, "men and women with the same surname, their birth is not fertile". Since ancient times, it has been known that the same surname cannot marry and have children together, and it has now been confirmed that babies born if close relatives marry will be unhealthy because of genetic reasons. It was not until Sima Qian recorded in the Records of History that the "surname" was merged, after which the surname indicated the same meaning.
"Hundred Family Names" is actually not only a hundred, just an adjective, referring to a lot of meaning, and now there are thousands of surnames. Chinese surnames represent blood and context, is the cornerstone of traditional culture, when you see people with the same surname as yourself, you will feel more intimate, even if it is a stranger, the more obvious the number of surnames.
I have this kind of personal experience, in an unfamiliar environment, leaving home to work hard in a first-tier city, working overtime every day has become the norm, and when I came home from a midnight overtime taxi, I happened to meet a master with the same surname as myself, because there are very few people with the same surname as me. Chatting with the master, he told me that "I have been working hard in Shenzhen for so many years, and it took me ten years to meet a person with the same surname as myself, and the last one I met was a Sichuanese." I can also feel that the master is also the same as meeting relatives, meeting the same surname, I can also personally feel, in this strange environment suddenly that kind of care and kindness, when getting off the car, the master said no money, not much, but then I still paid, after all, in Shenzhen hard work is not easy, but also kept asking me to give you a few more invoices, really happy.
The surname is the embodiment of the blood relationship of the family and cannot be changed casually. The ancients yun "line does not change the name, sit does not change the surname" means that under no circumstances do you obscure your real name, "line" refers to when you go out; "sitting" refers to sitting continuously, and when the nine tribes in ancient times, they would not change their names because they were seated together.

Now there are very few surnames, and there are not many celebrities in history, so there is a lot of controversy.
