    Chinese people are still dominated by single surnames, and most of the people with high status are single surnames. The Yellow Emperor is Xuanyuan, but it seems that there are not many celebrities surnamed Xuanyuan in history.

    The Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the era of the concentration of Chinese surnames. The surname with the highest status is "Ji", and the compound surname is mostly the people who are divided into fiefs with the fief as their surname, such as Zhongli, Shangguan, etc., or with the official name as the surname, such as Sima, Situ, etc., and there are also those who only take the place of residence as the surname, such as Dongguo, Nangong, etc.; But in fact, at that time, the emergence of any new single surname was also based on similar reasons, not only more than compound surnames, but also many even more "noble". The appearance of some single surnames is even directly in the name of the feudal country, and the bloodline or relationship is closer to the royal family with the surname "Ji", and the identity is more noble, such as Zhao, Qi, Zheng, Song, Chen, and so on.

    In the Han, Wei and Tang dynasties, in addition to the royal family, there were also major families, and there were still many single surnames. During the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, many ethnic minorities entered the Central Plains, bringing many compound surnames, and some also developed into family valves, such as Yuwen, eldest grandson, etc., but the time and degree of influence are far inferior to those of single surnames. In the Tang Dynasty, the Li family of Longxi, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Cui family of Boling, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Zheng family of Xingyang and the Wang family of Taiyuan were called "five surnames and seven clans", and the family was the most high.

    Although the status of the eldest grandson in the Tang Dynasty was also quite high, it was recognized by the royal family as a surname second only to the royal family surnamed Li, and was named a second-class surname. However, the secular recognition is still the traditional several major families, and even Tang Wenzong will be discriminated against when he wants to marry a princess to the family, and once said with emotion: "My family has been a son of heaven for two hundred years, and I can't take care of Cui and Lu Ye!"

    It can be seen that except for the period and region ruled by ethnic minorities such as the Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there really is no period when the status of compound surnames is high.

    In ancient China, the status of compound surnames was generally relatively high, and he was generally an ethnic minority, like the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty and Wan Qian of the Jin Dynasty.

    Not necessarily, except for when foreign nationalities rule, the royal family will have a higher status if the surname is restored, and there are no other times.

    From the fiefdom. For example, Linghu's family, "Hundred Family Names" is recorded as: During the Zhou Dynasty, there was a person named Wei Liang who repeatedly made military exploits and was awarded the title of Linghuyi, and his descendants took "Linghu" as his surname; Another example is Duan Gan's clan, the grandson of Lao Tzu Sun Li Zong was enshrined in Duan Gan, and his descendants took "Duan Gan" as his surname; In addition, there are also compound surnames such as Liangqiu, Shangguan, Yangyu, Zhongli, etc., all of which are in this case.

    Because of the place of residence. For example, the Dongguo family, during the Zhou Dynasty, the doctors of the Qi family lived in the national capital Linzi Dongguo, and the descendants took "Dongguo" as their surname; For example, Luqiu, South Gate, West Gate, Nangong, Puyang and other compound surnames are also obtained because of their place of residence.

    It comes from the official name, the word of the royal father, the lord lineage, and the family lineage. For example, Sima, Sikong, Sikou, Situ, Taishi, Jimo, Qiguan, Wuma, Lezheng, Zuoqiu and other compound surnames are all derived from official names; The compound surnames such as Ram and Ziyang are derived from the word of the royal father; Gongsun, Zhongsun and other compound surnames are derived from the Jue line; Uncles and grandchildren have compound surnames derived from the lineage.

    This doesn't mean anything, and there is no special distinction between ancient surnames, from the perspective of ancient kings, except for foreigners like Yuan and Qing, basically the royal family is a single surname, and most of the ancient surnames are honored by emperors like the emperor, like the surname Li, etc., which belong to the ancient aristocratic surnames.

The prerequisite for typhoon prevention is to be aware of the typhoon warning in advance and to be prepared for the typhoon before it arrives.
