All views in this book belong to the editorial team of "China Surname Root-Traveling." If they do not align with others' thoughts or opinions, we express regret here, but it is not the responsibility of the editorial team of "China Surname Root-Traveling." Although the editorial team has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information and materials, and all information has been thoroughly verified before the book went to press in December 2005, the rapid development of China's reality, especially changes in transportation and accommodation information in various regions, can occur at any time. If changes in reality after the publication of this book cause inconvenience to readers, we deeply regret it. We will strive to collect the latest information to reverify and revise these changes in our annual revised editions.
