However, it is undeniable that there have been "Xiao" surnames in history, although few, which either originated from ethnic minorities or evolved from "Xiao" for some reason. Ling Di's Genealogy of Surnames in Ming Dynasty (Volume 103): "Xiao: Han, Xiao 'an Valley. Xiao Shi, Xiao Yu, Xiao Tong (Chen Dou stayed to watch the drama).

Statement 1: Xiao originally took his son's surname. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a general named Nangong Changwan in the State of Song. When attacking Lu, he was defeated and captured and imprisoned in the harem. It was not until a few months later that he returned to Song State. Song Mingong made fun of him for this many times, and Chang Wan was angry because he was moved. He once killed Gong Min in a drunken rage. After that, he openly rebelled and set up another son to swim as the monarch. Song Guoqun's sons fled to Xiao Yi (now northwest of Xiaoxian County). Later, Wei Zi of Song Dynasty killed Changwan of Nangong, put down the rebellion, and helped Gong Min's younger brother, Yu Shuo, to be an army with high heart rate composed of royal disciples and followers after Song Huangong succeeded to the throne. Duke Huan of Song sealed the big heart in Xiao, thinking it was a vassal, and established Xiao, calling it Xiao Jun and Xiao Shu Da Xin. In 597 BC, Xiao was destroyed by Chu, and later people took the country as their surname and called it Xiao. Daxin was revered as the ancestor of Shaw by later generations.
For the first statement, there is such a vivid description: during the Spring and Autumn Period, Nangong Changwan, a general of the Song State, was captured when he attacked Lu State. Duke Zhuang of Lu imprisoned him in the harem and put him back in Song State a few months later. One autumn day in 682 BC, Song Xianggong and Nangong Chang were playing in the harem (an ancient gambling game), and Xiang Gong's favorite concubine was watching. Chang Wan looked at them and said, "The beauties in Lu Palace are still very beautiful. Nothing is happier than being a lujun! " Gong Min has always been proud of the beauty of these concubines. He was very unhappy, so he laughed at Chang Wan and said, "How can a prisoner like you know beauty?" This touched the sore spot of Nangong Changwan. He immediately became angry from embarrassment and killed Gong Min with one punch. Then he killed the doctor Qiu Mu and Hua Du, and set up another childe to swim as the monarch. Song's sons fled to (now Xiaoxian County, Anhui Province). Dr Xiao Yi, a descendant of Wei, the ancestor of the Song Dynasty, was named Daxin. He assembled these sons and their followers to form an army, and then invited reinforcements to Cao, killing Nangong Changwan and his companions one by one, thus quelling the civil strife. After Gong Min's younger brother, Duke Huan of Song, succeeded to the throne, he sealed the big heart in Xiao as a vassal state, which was called Xiao Shu. Later, it was destroyed by Chu, and Daxin's descendants were named Xiao.
Statement 2: In ancient times, Bo, the tribal leader who won the surname, became a scholar in Xiao, so he took Xiao as his surname and called Xiao Mengkui. Later, he changed his surname to Xiao. [Edit this paragraph] Shaw originated in today's Shandong Province. In the pre-Qin period, Xiao people were separated from their families because of the country, and their families were weak. During the Qin and Han dynasties, social unrest forced Xiao to move out and enter the first development and immigration period. After a long-term relocation, Xiao's family multiplied from the original settlement to the surrounding areas, and celebrities came forth in large numbers. Xiao He in Han Dynasty is a typical representative. In his early years, he assisted Liu Bang's uprising. After capturing Xianyang, he paid attention to collecting a large number of materials such as Qin decrees, county records and social conditions. He made great contributions to the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty and helped Liu Bang eliminate the princes with different surnames. His descendants were also officials in the Han Dynasty, all of whom were senior officials. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties in the Three Kingdoms, wars were frequent. Coupled with the "Yongjia Rebellion" in the Jin Dynasty, the gentry moved south and the Xiao people moved south, which further developed the family. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Xiao became famous in the world and Qi Liang was established, which made Xiao's development enter its heyday. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the society was relatively stable and the economy was prosperous. On the one hand, people surnamed Xiao are all over the world, and on the other hand, because of the emergence of new elements, that is, the family, a Qidan nationality living in the north and northeast of China, has become a huge aristocratic family. During this period, Xiao also traveled to Fujian and Guangdong. So far, before the Tang and Song Dynasties, Xiao had been widely distributed in Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Anhui, Beijing, Fujian, Guangdong and other places. During the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Xiao Nan moved to Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Hubei and other provinces, and celebrities came forth in large numbers. Since the last years of Qing Emperor Kangxi, the Xiao clan has moved to Taiwan Province Province many times, and some of them have also been scattered overseas, making the Xiao family truly spread all over the country. Today, Shore is widely distributed in China, especially in Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Hubei, Shandong, Guangdong and other provinces. Xiao in six provinces accounts for about 69% of the surname population in Han Xiao, China. [Edit this paragraph] County hopes Horno. Hall number
Ding Han and Tang Dynasties: Xiao He accompanied him in the Han Dynasty. From Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang's rebellion against Qin in Pei County to the establishment of the emperor in the Han Dynasty, he has been assisting Emperor Gaozu, ranking first in meritorious service and ranking as prime minister. All the laws and regulations of the Han Dynasty were formulated by Xiao He.

In the long process of reproduction, Xiao has formed several surnames of counties. According to the research of surnames, there are three main types:
1, Lanling County: In the Western Jin Dynasty, part of it was separated from Donghai County and located in Chengxian County (now Yicheng Town, Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province). The Sui Dynasty abolished this county.
2, Guangling County, governing Yangzhou, Jiangsu today.
3. Henan County governs the northeast of Luoyang City, Henan Province. The Xiao family lived in Lanling and Guangling. [Edit this paragraph] Clan characteristics 1, Xiao clan has a prominent position in family history, and there are many royal families. The Xiao family has produced eleven emperors and many royal relatives.
2. Xiao pays attention to culture in history, and literati can be good at poetry and painting. For example, Xiao, the ten prime ministers in the Tang and Song Dynasties, were all great writers, and there were also many family poets and painters.
3. Xiao surname is suitable for multi-couplets, which has very distinct characteristics of the times and family. [Edit this paragraph] Xiao's dialectical "Xiao" and "Xiao" are very old surnames, and the two surnames have been parallel in the Spring and Autumn Period. But the difference between them is that the surname Xiao has been used for more than two thousand years, and it is difficult to find it after the Han Dynasty, which can be proved by the surname spectrum of each era. It can be said that 99% of all people surnamed Xiao in China are originally surnamed Xiao. Half a century ago, there were many Xiao's, but few Xiao's. After the promulgation of the First List of Variant Characters and the Simplified Scheme of Chinese Characters, many people think that Xiao is a variant of Xiao, or that Xiao is a simplified character of Xiao. Therefore, many people with the surname "Xiao" write "Xiao" for simplicity; The staff of some departments often write Xiao as Xiao when they go through the formalities of identity card, household registration and admission for people surnamed Xiao. Therefore, in recent decades, the surname Xiao has increased (it is not excluded that some people used to be surnamed Xiao), and there is even a trend to replace the surname Xiao. For example, "Shenzhen Surname Talk" contains: "Xiao is Xiao, and Xiao is Xiao. Derived from the son's surname. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Song attacked Lu, captured Nangong Changwan, and returned to Song a few months later. In the autumn of 682 BC, he and Song Mingong played together in the harem. Gong Min didn't mean to laugh at Chang Wan as a prisoner. Chang Wan immediately became angry from embarrassment, killed Song Mingong and several ministers, and made Gongzi swim as a monarch. Song Guoqun's sons fled to Xiao Yi (now Xiaoxian County). Dr. Xiao Yi organized the army attentively, killed Nangong Changwan and his companions, and quelled the civil strife. After Song Mingong's younger brother Huan Gong acceded to the throne, he sealed the big heart in Xiao as a vassal state, called Xiao Shu, and his successor was Xiao, that is, Xiao. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, some residents surnamed Xiao moved from Fujian to Shenzhen, and now they live in Pingdi Town, which is the most populous surname in the town, and most of them live in Xihu Tang, Yuetanggang and Wu Xiang. " The problem in the annotation of reference books is another important reason for the confusion of Xiao and Xiao's use. In the tool books such as Ci Yuan and Ci Hai, the annotation Xiao Shi has the meaning of surname, while the annotation Xiao Shi has no surname. This is a symbol that follows some old reference books. Both Xinhua Dictionary and Modern Chinese Dictionary are marked with "surname" under the prefix "Xiāo". This is a vulgar word for Xiao, used as a surname. When the Chinese Dictionary notes Xiao, it says "the surname is also Xiao", while the Xinhua Dictionary 1962 notes Xiao (Xiāo) and says "the surname is the same as Xiao". This is the relationship between "Xiao" and "Xiao" as dissidents. Whether Xiao is regarded as a vulgar style or a variant, Xiao and Xiao are actually the same surname, and the phonetic notation is Ping ā o. The Dictionary of Modern Chinese Standards is unique. It notes that "Xiao" is a monosyllabic word, and the second meaning under the prefix is "surname". In this way, "Xiao" and "Xiao" are completely decoupled, and "Xiao" has become another surname independent of "Xiao", and its pronunciation has also become a voiced Xiao. Judging from the language and writing regulations promulgated by the relevant state departments, "Xiao" and "Xiao" are neither strange nor complicated. Therefore, it is not advisable to say that Xiao is also called Xiao, Xiao and Xiao. What about the popular saying that "Xiao" is Xiao? Because "Xiao" is not a simplified word of "Xiao" and the relationship between them is not alien, some editors of reference books regard "Xiao" as a common word of "Xiao". In fact, "a custom makes a certainty" is a very vague statement. In other parts of the world, such as Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province, Southeast Asia and other places that have not been impacted by the one-word reform since the founding of the People's Republic of China, all members of the Shaw family are surnamed Xiao, and no one writes their surname Xiao. A person's name is his own, but a person's surname is handed down from his ancestors, and China people pay the most attention to tradition. The ancients said: "Don't change your surname, don't sit down and change your surname. "After all, the surname' Xiao' is an irregular surname, not all the surnames of the Xiao family. Xiao He's ancestors knew from spring that they would not be satisfied. In recent years, with the reform and opening up, more and more people in China have changed their surnames to Xiao. Decades have passed, and some young people surnamed Xiao may not know that they were originally Xiao (according to their ID cards, their fathers and grandfathers also wrote their surnames "Xiao"), thus easily denying their surnames. In fact, these people can be verified from several aspects: 1, such as the ancestral hall, which was built in various gathering places of the Xiao family no matter how it was changed after the founding of the People's Republic of China. 2. Ask your elders, especially those over 60. They must have used the surname Xiao when they were young. 3, ancestral graves, the words engraved on ancestral graves must be Xiao and so on. However, whatever the textual research is, one thing is certain. There is no doubt that 99% of the people who wrote Xiao's surname in China are original works.
