In Qing Dynasty, Ai Xin Jue Luo was divided into imperial clan and Jue Luo to show the difference of blood relationship. At the same time, some meritorious officials were named Jue Luo Shi, such as Jue Luo Mutai (formerly known as Shu Mulu) and Jue Luo Wu Bai (formerly known as Guarga). After the death of the Qing Dynasty, most people were Han surnames, such as Jin, Wang, Fan, Ai, Luo and Zhao.
