Features: Due to space limitations, this book can only introduce the root-seeking and ancestral tracing destinations of the top 100 most common surnames among the nearly 22,000 existing surnames in China. The population with these 100 surnames accounts for about 85% of China's total population, making them highly representative. We sincerely apologize for the surnames not included in this book. When selecting root-seeking destinations, we repeatedly compared and considered factors such as location, transportation, preservation status, scenic value, and surrounding attractions. As a result, the destinations included in this book generally have relatively mature tourism support services. When providing detailed introductions to the origins of each surname, we generally focus on the main origins with historical records and clear locations. Due to differing origin claims or multiple branches for some surnames, and given the limited space, we can only briefly describe one. Any inaccuracies are inevitable, and we welcome corrections.
