The development of the Xiao surname:
The Xiao surname first originated in today's Shandong Province. In the pre-Qin period, the Xiao clan was scattered all over the country due to the destruction of their country, and the family was small and weak. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, social unrest forced the surname Xiao to move out, entering the first period of development and migration. After a long period of relocation, people with the Xiao surname have multiplied in large numbers from their original settlement to the surrounding areas, and celebrities have emerged in large numbers.
