In ancient China, long before the 3 Emperors and 5 Kings, that is, during the time when recognition was given only to one's mother and not one's father. Hence, the Chinese character for surname is made up of two individual characters----one meaning woman and one meaning to give birth. That is to say, the surnames of the early Chinese followed the maternal line.

Before the three dynasties of Xia, Shang and Zhou (2140-256 BC), the people in China were already having surnames (Xing姓) and clan-names (Shi氏). The surnames originated from the name of the village in which one live or the family to which one belonged, while the clan-name derived from the name of the territory or the title granted, sometimes posthumously, by the emperor to a noble for an achievement. Hence, only nobles had surnames as well as clan-names.

A man and a woman of the same clan-name could marry each other but they could not if they were of the same surname.

First 10 major surnames make up 40% of the Chinese population. The 10 major Chinese surnames are: Zhang, Wang, Li, Zhao, Chen, Yang, Wu, Liu, Huang and Zhou.

The next 10 major surnames. The Chinese with these surnames make up over 10% of the Chinese population: Xu, Zhu, Lin, Sun, Ma, Gao, Hu, Zheng, Guo and Xiao.

The third category of 10 major surnames make up just about 10% of the population:Xie, He, Xu, Song, Shen, Luo, Han, Deng, Liang and Ye.

The following 15 surnames form the fouth largest group of the Chinese surnames are:Fang, Cui, Cheng, Pan, Cao, Feng, Wang, Cai, Yuan, Lu, Tang, Qian, Du, Peng and Lu.

The surnames of the remaining 30% are comparatively rare. Some of these surnames are: Mao, Jiang, Bai, Wen, Guan, Liao, Miao and Chi. ( See!! mine wasnt even in the most rare-est group of surnames. Not even my bf's, Gong龚 )

My ancestor, YanDi炎帝, shares the same family lineage as one of the First 3 Emperors, HungDi黄帝. According to an article that i read, YanDi & HuangDi may be brothers or step-brothers. They are from the same clan,ShaoDianShi少典氏, hence known as 少典之子.

YanDi is also known as, ShenNongShi神农氏. He invented farming,madication, introcued trade & market etc...
