Shu Han Xiang Zhuge Liang
First, the most famous compound surname - Zhuge - Zhuge
If it is said that which compound surname is most impressive in the hearts of the common people, then it is thanks to Luo Guanzhong's vivid mythological description of Zhuge Liang in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The vast majority of Zhuge compound surnames are derived from the Ge surname. Zhuge Liang's foot on the altar can even call the wind and rain, the foggy Mengjiang grass boat borrows arrows, the lupine scarf tongue battle group Confucianism, the deep wilderness seven capture Meng, the six out of the Qishan Bagua swing, the great achievements of the Shu Han Dynasty are infinitely magnified, and the rendering function of the novel can be seen from this.

Legend has it that Zhuge Liang had three brothers, the elder brother Zhuge Jin was loyal to the State of Wu, the younger brother Zhuge Yan served the State of Wei, everyone was their master, they were all famous people, and the same family was so talented and meritorious that it wrote a glorious page in history.
Sima Yi, a minister of Cao Wei
Second, the most honorable compound surname - Sima
The earliest surname of Sima came from the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is also a representative of the official title, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Song Kingdom, the Chu State, the Jin State and other countries all had the official position of Sima . However, the compound surname of Sima really began to shine in history, and it is also thanks to Zhuge Liang, the lingering opponent in his life, that is, the Sima clan that rose strongly in the late Cao Wei regime, the family represented by Sima Yi, although Sima Yi won fewer and lost more in the duel with Zhuge Liang, he miscalculated step by step, and finally convinced Zhuge Shen. However, he deceived Cao Shuang by using a scheme to pretend to be ill, and eventually transferred power to his two wolf-like sons, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, and the proverb "Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone" spread. Later, Sima Zhao seized power, and his son Sima Yan achieved the great cause of great unification, successively destroyed the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu, established the Jin Dynasty, and began the 156-year rule of the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties over the Central Plains.

Ouyang Xiu was also a politician, and he fought fiercely with Wang Anshi to change the law, competing in the political arena.

LingHu is also a compound surname with an ancient historical origin, they were once descendants of the surname of King Ji of Zhou Wen more than 3,000 years ago, and the family history is extremely glorious and brilliant, belonging to the famous and prestigious family of Gen HongmiaoZheng. In the famous novel "Chronicles of the States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", the imperial relatives of the Linghu family, Guiguan and the prince, staged a fierce and sharp charge and attack, which was unforgettable.

The surname Ximen comes from the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a Zheng Guo doctor living in the city of Ximen, his descendants took "Ximen" as a surname, the earliest celebrity in the Ximen surname was the Wei official Ximen Leopard. I still remember the story of Ximen Leopard Zhiye, which was impressive in the primary school textbook, when the righteous Ximen Leopard threw the high-toed Hebo wizard into the river, it really felt very happy.
Although there are not many famous people with the surname of Ximen in history, the appearance of the novels "Jin Ping Mei Zi Zhi" and "Water Margin" has made the surname of Ximen famous from now on, and even few descendants have used this surname. Yes, he is the famous Ximen official, Ximen Qing. It is said that the author of the novel is alluding to Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song, a traitorous minister of the Ming Dynasty, but Ximen Qing's image is too classic and seems to have become synonymous with lustful people. In a sense, Ximen Qing's love affair with Pan Jinlian is immoral and contrary to human morality. However, in the old society where feudal etiquette was rampant, Pan Jinlian's persistent pursuit of love was understandable, but Ximen Qing was not, this prodigal son of a disciple with a large number of concubines was not only one of the culprits who killed Wu Dalang, but also his fraud against Hua Zi in the novel, the setting up of Li Zhen'er, and the numerous crimes committed against other children of the good family. Because a person changed the impression of a surname, this Ximen Qing, really did it.

Han Zhongli, one of the eight immortals with the surname Zhong Li
China's single surname accounts for the vast majority, and many compound surnames in history have gradually changed to single surnames. There are several reasons for changing to a single surname: With the evolution of history, ethnic minorities are speeding up the process of Sinicization, and many ethnic minorities have changed to single surnames after Sinicization, for example, when the Xianbei people were Sinicized, Tuoba Hong changed the imperial surname to the Yuan surname, and changed all the compound surnames to single surnames. After the fall of the Manchu Qing, the descendants all changed their one-character Han surnames. Many of today's surnames are changed from ancient compound surnames, such as Nanguo, Dongguo and other compound surnames changed to Guo, Zhuge changed to Ge surname and so on.
In the Ming Dynasty, as Zhu Yuanzhang accelerated the process of The Sinicization of the Hu people, many of the compound surnames of the Han and ethnic minorities were changed to single-character surnames, so the compound surnames have gradually become rare today. With the gradual formation of a convention of three or two-word combinations of Chinese names, four-character names have become rare, which can also be regarded as a change in name science.
