The common ancestors of both the Great Han and Small Han clans, Han Zhao, originally came from Wendeng, Shandong. In the late Ming Dynasty, he crossed the sea to Guanglu Island in Liaodong to escape warfare. In the early Qing Dynasty, when settlers were recruited to develop the land, the Han Zhao family moved from Guanglu Island to Jinzhou in the third generation, marking the separation of the Great and Small Han clans. Subsequently, they migrated in succession to Muchengyi, Yingchengzi, Pulandian, and Wafangdian.
