Features: Our ancestors, our roots, enduring through generations; Our surname, our family name, shining across the world. The book cannot fully capture the brilliance of the great scholars and heroes of our ancestors, nor the extraordinary achievements of the ages; It cannot fully express the vitality of ordinary people, nor the vibrant life force; It cannot fully lament the prosperity of noble clans, nor the remnants of their grandeur; It cannot fully record the rise and fall of families, nor the traces of their wandering footsteps. How many stories of vicissitudes are left untold, waiting to be retold. A nation that forgets its ancestors is like a person without bloodline. When we touch the yellowed family tree, permeated with the body temperature of generations, a sense of warmth and reverence for tracing our ancestors' footsteps naturally arises. This book is precisely the key to exploring the evolution of the Huang surname and the mysteries of its settlement distribution from blood ties, geographical connections, to professional bonds. Everyone hopes to understand the origins of themselves and their families, to learn about the history of their own nature, and since this history is closely related to them, a part of it is bound to be deeply familiar and more rewarding. As long as narrow clan concepts are shed, reverence for ancestors and love for family can coexist with love for society and the nation. Understanding the history of one's own surname and family can complement the study of the nation's history. In this spirit, Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House has organized experts and scholars to compile this series of "Hundred Surnames" books to meet the needs of all sectors of society.
