The surname Ling
The surname Ling (Ling, pronounced líng(ㄌㄧㄥˊ)) comes from the surname Ji, which comes from the surname Yao. He is the eldest grandson of Emperor Shun, the tenth generation of the Yellow Emperor. Yao Chonghua is a descendant of the surname Yao. The first person with the surname Ling was born in the Wei Kingdom founded by the youngest son of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty in the early years of the Zhou Dynasty.

In the first year of Yuanding (116 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che established Siyang County, which was located on the north bank of the ancient Surabaya River, hence its name. During the wars from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, the local residents had to seek refuge and moved out one after another. In order to facilitate contact in the future, they took the ancient name of the city as their surname, which was called the Ling family.

Later, there was a person named Ling's family in simple form, which has been passed down from generation to generation to this day.
