[Editor] China's surname

There are many surnames in China, and there are different opinions about their exact number. It is generally believed that there are 4,000 to 6,000 surnames, but at present there are only about 1000 surnames, and other surnames are extremely rare.

1977, Li Dongming, a Chinese historian, published a paper on "surname" in Oriental Magazine, in which he pointed out:

The top ten surnames of China people are: Zhang, Wang, Li, Zhao, Chen, Yang, Wu, Liu, Huang and Zhou. These ten surnames account for 40% of China's population, about 400 million people.

The next ten surnames are: Xu, Zhu, Lin, Sun, Ma, Gao, Hu, Zheng, Guo and Xiao. It accounts for more than 10% of the population of China.

The top ten surnames are Xie, He, Xu, Song, Shen, Luo, Han, Deng, Liang and Ye. It accounts for 10% of the population of China.

The next 15 surnames are: Fang, Cui, Cheng, Pan, Cao, Feng, Wang, Cai, Yuan, Lu, Tang, Qian, Du, Peng and Lu. Add up to 10% of the total population.

In China society, there are 700 million people with the above four surnames.

Although the top ten surnames of China people (Zhang Wang, Li Zhao, Yang Chen, Wuliu and Huangzhou) are the same as those of China today (Li Wang, Liu Zhang, Yang Chen, Huang Zhao and Wuzhou), the order is different. It is said that the surnames of Oriental magazines are sorted by the number of surnames, not by the number of people. Therefore, Zhang is the most genealogical surname among all surnames, and it may not be the surname with the largest population of Chinese in the world.

"China people" in a broad sense refers to all China people, and "China people" in a narrow sense refers to China people with foreign nationality (China government does not allow its citizens to have dual nationality, so "China people" do not have China nationality). "China people" in a narrow sense refers to the descendants of the Chinese people who are abroad but have China nationality.
