As follows:

Cao surname, Han surname, in Anhui, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Hubei (Wuhan Xinzhou, Huanggang Tuanfeng, Xiaocheng and Anlu), Jiangxi, Henan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, Taiwan and other regions have descendants of the surname Cao. The earliest recorded historical figure of the Cao clan in the history books was Cao Shiqi, the leader of the peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Cao's ** used to circulate two sayings: ** in the official position, from the Yin Dynasty monarch Pan Geng to the doctor of the official position, belongs to the emperor to give the surname as a name; Originated from the surname Ji, from the descendants of King Ji Fa of Zhou Wu, and belongs to the name of professional skills; According to the research results of the joint project of history and anthropology of Fudan University, the surname Cao is a descendant of Cao Cao or a grandson of Cao Cao, and the statement that the surname Cao was changed is incorrect.

According to the "Imperial Century", Yu Gang was the last monarch of the Shennong regime during the era of the Chinese clan alliance, and was later defeated by the Yellow Emperor of the Xuanyuan tribe.

Based on what I've learned, here are some of the surnames that may be rare:

饕餮 (ta otie): This is a rare surname with interesting meanings.

Yi (yi): This surname is said to be very common, but it is not common in historical literature.

Murong (mu ro ng): This surname is very famous in Chinese history, but it is not common in modern Chinese.

澹台 (ta nta i): This surname was famous in ancient times, but it is also relatively rare in modern Chinese.

步 (bu): This surname is common in modern Chinese, but it is not particularly rare.

These are just a few examples of what is possible and may not be applicable in all situations, but hopefully add some variety and interest.

Here are some surnames that may be uncommon or rare:

The well-known "Baijia surname" is a traditional Chinese culture, which arranges common surnames according to the stroke order of Chinese characters, with a total of 110 surnames. In addition to this, there are many surnames of cultural or historical value, such as: compound surname:

Murong, Sima, Zhuge and others; Single surname: Ren, Hu, Lin, etc.

I have indeed encountered this special rare surname similar to a hundred family names in my life. This is actually one of the more common words in personal names, but the pronunciation is not ordinary "mi ng" but "mi ng".

According to rumors, the people with the surname "Jiao" originally migrated from the Western Regions, and their ancestors made a living by selling salt. Due to the long age of life and Li Qiao's difficult research, it was not recorded in history at that time, so it has not survived to this day. However, in the southwest of China, there are still people with the surname "爨".

In addition, the surname "Xian" is also relatively rare. The population of this surname is very small and is mainly distributed in the Yunnan region of China. It is said that people with this surname were once slaves and later escaped from their original social status through marriage or other means, thus becoming the local surname.

There is also a relatively rare surname that is the "poison" surname. The population of this surname is very small and is only distributed in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other regions of China. It is said that the people with this surname were descendants of a court maid during the Qing Dynasty, when women were restricted by the feudal social system and did not have the right to choose who they married, so they could only marry men who also came from the bottom of society.

In this case, people with the surname "poison" gradually form a small social group.

It is important to note that the above information is for informational purposes only, as the existence of many rare surnames may not be known or officially recorded. At the same time, even if some rare surnames do exist, they should not be treated in some pejorative way. Human beings should respect each other and be understanding and tolerant of everyone's regretful lifestyles and choices.

1, 姒 (sì): 姒 surname, the surname of the Han nationality in China, one of the eight surnames of ancient times, Dayu, Gou Jian and others have the surname of 姒, as well as the Bao Xi who does not like to laugh among the princes of the Beacon Opera. However, among the Chinese surnames now, the surname Xi is a small surname, with less than 2,000 people scattered in various places, mainly concentrated in Yuling Village, Shaoxing, and their duty has been to protect the tomb of King Yu for generations.

2. Point: It is said that the surname Point is a newly created surname in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province in 1991. Historically, there are also traditional Chinese characters for the surname "point".

4. Wang Sun: Wang Sun's compound surname is a multi-ethnic and multi-origin surname group, but because it has been changed to a single surname Wang, Sun, etc. During the Zhou Dynasty, the grandson of the king of Zhou was an official in the vassal state, and his descendants were called Wangsun, and his descendants were called Wangsun with the surname of their ancestors.

In later generations, especially after the Ming Dynasty, the Wangsun clan was changed to "Wang" or "Sun", so the people with the surname Wangsun are very rare today.
