Yesterday (24th), the Ministry of Public Security announced the latest ranking of hundreds of surnames in my country. Wang, Li, and Zhang ranked in the top three, with a total population of 2.7 billion, which is close to the total population of the United States. Also ranking in the top 10 are Liu, Chen, Yang, Huang, Zhao, Wu and Zhou.

According to the statistical analysis of the national household registration population by the Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, Wang is still the first surname in my country, with 92.881 million people, accounting for 7.25% of the total population in the country. In other words, one in every 13 people is named Wang, which is equivalent to the total population of Sichuan Province and 10 million more than the total population of Germany.

Wang Daliang, a name research expert at the China Youth University for Political Science, yesterday analyzed the characteristics of the surname Wang in Beijing. "Beijing has historically been a city of immigrants. The surnames here are in line with the characteristics of various places in the north. The surname Wang is also a common surname in Beijing." He said that some of the Wang surnames in Beijing come from immigrants from Hebei, Northeast, Shanxi, Henan and other places. Some Mongolian royal families in the Yuan Dynasty and nobles in the Qing Dynasty changed their surnames to the Han surname "Wang" after their decline. According to legend, the Han people with the surname Wang are the descendants of Prince Jin of Zhou Ling.

Wang Daliang believes that this latest ranking is the most accurate in history, which is of great significance to understanding the distribution of surnames and the process of population migration. Wang Daliang said, "The previous ranking method was to conduct a sample survey of more than 500,000 people across the country, and then determine the ranking order based on the survey results. These surnames are mainly Han surnames." This time the ranking is based on the Ministry of Public Security The National Citizen Identity Information System has a higher accuracy and covers the surnames of 56 ethnic groups. For example, the surname "Qin" ranked 94th is a surname of the Tujia people. ”
