10. The most surname.

The most surname is one of the rare surnames in China, according to the research of scholars, the origin of the most surname should be the ancient Shang Dynasty "take the son of the country Lashen" noble descendants. Gutori Ziguo is the predecessor of the ancient country, and its address is about today's Phoenix Mountain, Dalu Village, Zhangzhuang Town, Zoucheng City, Shandong Province, that is, the area of Gujuyue Mountain.

Some of the rare surnames I've seen, here are just a few examples and the stories behind them:

1.江湖 ( jiāng hú ) The surname Jianghu was given to a poet named Jiang Juqi in the Song Dynasty, who was named for his artistic talent and personality charm, and was later given a surname.

2.Teng (téng): The surname Teng is recorded in the book "Hundred Family Names", which originated from the legendary figure Gonggong clan in ancient China, and left the surname Teng because his descendant Teng Gong protected the "hatred of broken bottles".

3.闫 (yán): There are two theories about the origin of the surname Yan, one is that the person who operated military weapons in ancient times was named Yan, and his descendants became the surname Yan; Another theory is that it originated from the official position "Yan" during the Yellow Emperor period.

4.Thistle (jì): The surname Ji is said to have originated from Ji Tian, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor during the Shang Dynasty, who led 800 soldiers to the war and finally died in victory, and later generations took his name as his surname.

5.Ye (yě): The surname Ye originated from one of the three generations of Dayu period, there was a famous craftsman who smelted iron, and his descendants became the surname of Ye.

These rare surnames are often used for historical figures, family lineages or special occupations, etc., and they have twists and turns and interesting stories behind them.

I believe that rare surnames are a special cultural heritage, and the cultural elements such as family, region, and occupation that they represent have their own unique historical background and cultural value. From this point of view, rare surnames can be seen as a manifestation of the diversity of human civilization.

In addition, the surname can also inspire exploration and curiosity, making us aware that there are many strange and mysterious things in the world. At the same time, due to the small number of rare surnames, sometimes the holders of these surnames also have relatively small problems of social recognition and belonging. Therefore, for these people, their choice should be respected and treated equally and respectfully, without any discrimination and prejudice.
