Why does Zhao rank first among hundreds of surnames? Is it because of the largest population?

It is said that Hundred Family Names was produced among wuyue people at that time. Wu Yueguo was founded by Qian Liu in 907. The emperor's surname is Qian, not Zhao. The reason why the first place is Zhao is because the Northern Song Dynasty was established, and the surname of the Northern Song Dynasty is Zhao. At that time, the strength of the Northern Song Dynasty was very strong, and it was only a matter of time before the whole country was unified. All the southern regimes were afraid of the Northern Song Dynasty, so they put Zhao in the first place.

The ranking order of surnames among hundreds of surnames is not arranged according to the population of surnames, and has nothing to do with population. Zhao ranked first among the hundred surnames in Song Dynasty and eighth among the new hundred surnames in 2006. Originated in today's Shanxi Province, it was once one of the six ministers of the State of Jin. Zaofu in Zhou Muwang is the ancestor of Zhao, the Han nationality, with a total population of about 26.7 million by 20 14. Zhao is one of the common surnames in northern China.
