The question of whose surname the child should be named after

The country is now formulating the "Name Registration Regulations" (first draft)

What is clearly stipulated is

The "Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China"

Article 22: Children can take their father’s surname or their mother’s surname.

"Adoption Law of the People's Republic of China"

Article 24: Adopted children can keep their original surnames, and adopted children can take the surname of the adoptive father or the adoptive mother. .

Most of the children in our country now take their father's surname because of historical origins, such as blood and clan systems in feudal society.
