A man can change his name but not his surname. But why do people with these surnames want to change their surnames?

Hundred family surnames have existed since ancient times. Chinese people still care a lot about their surnames, and they even have the same status as their given names (the saying that you don’t change your name when you work, but you don’t change your surname when you sit down) confirms this. Except for wars and to avoid large-scale political pursuits, people rarely change their surnames. But there are a few people with this surname who, for various reasons, have to give up their original surname and change it to someone else's.

1. The surname Go is

The surname Go is a relatively rare surname in China. In the ancient book "Surname?", Go is called Gaotao, probably because of the ancient saying "Gao" and "Chi" are connected, so there are people with the surname Chi after Gao Tao. In ancient times, there was a famous person named Jizi, who was Gao Tao. This person was one of the "Four Ancient Sages" along with Yao, Shun and Yu. As a result, with the evolution of time, testicles gradually became combined with another word "pill". It became the meaning of the male reproductive organ "testicles". For this reason, people with the surname "testicles" will of course stop doing this. After all, the word "testicles" is rarely used. You can't introduce yourself by saying that your last name is "testicles". As a result, people with the surname Ji changed their names one after another.

2. The dead surname

The dead surname was developed from the four-character compound surname of the northwest ethnic minorities during the Northern Wei Dynasty. Needless to say, death is opposite to "life" and represents death and the loss of life characteristics. Many Chinese people have always believed in the mystical theory of Feng Shui, so having such an unpleasant surname makes them feel uncomfortable. And because when others call you by your name, you feel like you are scolding yourself, so many people who used to have the surname "Death" have also changed their names.

3. The surname Cao

Speaking of the surname Cao, the editor really does not mean to offend people with this surname. However, in daily life, Caozi and the pronunciation of "cao" do have uncivilized meanings. I think it is also because of this reason that people with the last name have changed their gender.

4. Poison surname

The word poison is often given a derogatory meaning in our lives. "The sting behind the tail of a wasp is the most poisonous to a woman's heart" and "poisonous as snakes and scorpions" are all bad words about the word "poison". In daily life, I think there are probably some people who would like others to call themselves "Mr. Poison" or "Mrs. Poison". As a result, the surname Po was abandoned by many people.

5. Lao's surname

In ancient my country, there was a famous philosopher and writer who wrote the "Tao Te Ching" whose surname was Lao. His name was Lao Dan, which is Lao Tzu. However, with the passage of time, there are fewer and fewer people with the surname Lao. Taking into account various historical and political reasons, the surname itself does not sound good. The terms "old gentleman" and "old lady" are probably also disliked by many young men and women.
