Many Chinese historical documents have recorded the fascinatin­g phenomenon of the special origins of Chinese surnames. Tens of thousands of Chinese surnames can be traced back to certain surnames from ancient times.

China was one of the first places in the world where surnames emerged. Surnames that have been used for thousands of years remain “blood codes” recorded in words and “living fossils” for people to trace their origins.
