Name is very important to each of us. Each name has different identities for different people. This is the most basic way to distinguish between people. Everyone's name has its own uniqueness or meaning. Every citizen has the right to use his or her name, but he must also abide by relevant laws and regulations, act in accordance with the law, strictly abide by the law, and must not violate public order and good customs. The culture of names is of great significance to the people of our country.
Our country is the first country in the world to use surnames to give names. This is a long cultural history of our country, which has a history of almost more than 500 years. The surnames in our country are also very diverse, including single surnames and compound surnames. Some names have disappeared in the process of inheritance, but some names are still continuing and are passed down from generation to generation.
According to reports, in 2020, among the children born and registered, the surnames such as Wang, Li, Zhang, Liu, and Chen accounted for 10% of the total population. Among them, the most registered surname is "Li", and the least registered is "Gu". Every surname has its own distribution. It doesn't matter how much or how little. What matters is that it continues to be passed down.
Nowadays, most children’s surnames still follow traditional customs and habits. They take their father’s surname, and some also take their mother’s surname, but only a small proportion of them take it. But in today's era, people's ideas are gradually opening up. It is their own choice to take their father's or mother's surname, and there are no special regulations.
Some names represent parents’ expectations for their children, and have different meanings. However, no matter what the surname is, each person corresponding to each name is special. Although there are similarities and cannot be unique, people are unique and different. This is the point of differentiation, and they all have distinctive characteristics.
