What's the strangest surname?
Analysis:
There are nearly 20,000 surnames in China, including one, two, three ... eight, nine, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten and hundreds of millions, all of which are surnames, making people cry!
There is also a strange phenomenon in the surnames of China people: even some people's Latin pinyin letters "H" (pronounced "He") and "T" (pronounced "Yuan").
Chen Lifu, an employee of Suining Archives, spent more than 30 years collecting and sorting out China's national surnames at his own expense. The Dictionary of China Surnames Calligraphy (Collection of Surnames * * * 10 129) was published in June 2000, and it was publicized by the media, which aroused the readers' strong concern.
In the next three years, Chen Lifu collected 9,860 surnames. Together with the first collection, the total number of surnames is close to 20 thousand.
The surnames collected by Chen Lifu include the surnames collected by Du Ruofu, a researcher at the Institute of Genetics, China Academy of Sciences, for free.
There are nearly 20,000 surnames in China, which are all-encompassing.
The strangest numbers and surnames are "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, hundred, thousand, ten, billion" and so on.

There are still some words that can't even be found in Kangxi dictionary, and they are also surnames!
A student in Zhengzhou University has a surname of Xing (reportedly pronounced Mian), and someone somewhere in Henan has a surname of four traditional Chinese characters Ma (reportedly read).
Chen Lifu's painstaking efforts to collect China's surname after more than 30 years were not in vain.
Chen Lifu's contribution to the collection of surnames in China lies in the collection of existing surnames, as well as a large number of surnames used in ancient times but no longer used, such as "Fu" surnames.
Wu Ding, a Shang king who had military talent and commanded 13000 soldiers, had a good wife, so his surname was "Fu".
Chen Lifu, who has studied China's surnames for more than 30 years, thinks that no matter how uncommon and strange surnames and names are, they are just symbols in people's production and life.
It is reported that Chen Lifu's Dictionary of Surnames will be published at the end of this year.
By then, the total number of surnames in China Surname Calligraphy Dictionary and its addendum will reach 65,438+9,989,480,000 words.
