Chinese Surname Ceremony
History中华姓氏大典
Compiled By Zhao Fanyu And Sun Doudou
The Chinese nation is a great nation with a long history, a large population, a splendid culture, and outstanding contributions to human civilization. It is a unity composed of fifty-six ethnic groups with varying numbers of people; this unity is composed of thousands of surname cells. There are many works on the study of ethnic issues, but there are few discussions and introductions on surnames. Chinese people have always attached great importance to surnames. When you meet someone for the first time, you always ask for their "surname." When you meet someone for business, you always call them "Comrade XX" or "Mr. XX." This "someone" is the other person's last name. "Don't change your name when you're working, don't change your surname when you're sitting down." This is the dignity of being a human being.
