According to the Biography of Historians in South Vietnam, Qin Shihuang lived in Nanhai County, Panyu County (now Guangzhou) and was in charge of Nanhai Wei, so the stone man moved to Guangdong during the Qin Dynasty. Stone men in Han Dynasty were distributed in many places in Sichuan and Henan. At the same time, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Gansu and other provinces also have residents with surnames. After the Three Kingdoms, the distribution of stone men was more extensive, such as Ren Xu in the Western Jin Dynasty (now Linhai, Zhejiang Province), Ren in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (now Taiyuan, Shanxi Province), Chen in the Southern Dynasties (now Fuyang, Anhui Province), Ren Dijian in the Tang Dynasty (now xi, Shaanxi Province) and Ren Tao (now Shanxi Province). Shaoxing Jinshi in the Southern Song Dynasty was recommended by Ren Wen from Fujian County (now Fuzhou), indicating that the Stone Man had moved to Fujian at the latest in the Song Dynasty. Since the Qing Dynasty, there have been people living abroad in Fujian, Guangdong and Shiren, such as the existing Chinese in Singapore, who have established clan organizations.

According to the Biography of the History of South Vietnam, the captain of Nanhai once ordered Zhao Tuo to establish the country, so Ren moved to Guangdong in the Qin Dynasty. By the Han Dynasty, Ren had been scattered in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi and other places in the north of China, while the south lived in Sichuan, Jiangsu, Guangdong and other places. It can be seen that Ren moved south before the Han Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, Ren Ao lived in Xuzhou (now Jiangsu), and later his descendants moved to Weinan, Shaanxi.
