The origin of surnames.

The original source of ancient surnames in China is primitive religious worship, totem worship and ancestor worship based on heaven. Primitive totem worship is the root of China's ancient surnames. A large number of ancient documents support this view.

Surnames are passed down from generation to generation, which is generally stable, while surnames change with the changes of feudal cities and official positions, so there will be several surnames or different surnames between father and son in a person's descendants. Last name and first name together constitute a person's first name. Those whose surnames come from the place where their ancestors studied. People who belong to the family should not be divided by future generations. The surname is a racial number, and the surname is a branch of the surname. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, surnames began to merge.
