In China, the surname is a very important cultural symbol, which represents a person's family and lineage. Surnames come from various sources, some from place names, some from occupations, and some from ancestors' names. Xie's family, for example, is said to have originated from a place name in Shang Dynasty. The people in that place were called Xie people, and later they took this place as their surname.
In China's traditional concept, the surname also represents a person's identity and status. In ancient times, people usually put surnames before first names, because at that time, surnames were more important than first names. In modern society, although the order of people's names has changed, surnames are still very important identities.
There are also some special surnames in China, whose origins and meanings are very rich. For example, Zhao is said to have originated from the fief of the son of the Yellow Emperor, while Li is said to have originated from the descendants of Yao Emperor.

Especially in the Ming Dynasty, the population of Jiemu Minbu gradually increased and became an aristocratic family in Shanxi, Shandong, Hebei and other places. The star-bearing population in these areas has multiplied so far, forming numerous branches and branches.
Xiexing also has certain cultural inheritance and development. According to the Records of Famous Men's Words and Actions, Xie's surname was given to his grandson by the doctor of the State of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period. Xie Hu is one of the famous honest officials in history. He is honest and clean, and his law enforcement is like a mountain, which has been revered and praised by future generations. In addition, there are many outstanding figures in history, such as writers, calligraphers and painters, who have contributed to the development of China culture.
