Among the legends of the Chinese nation, the legend of the dragon has the longest history, and its image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the Chinese nation. As early as 6000 years ago, the image of the dragon was born, and the dragon pattern made of clam shells found in Puyang, Henan Province 6000 years ago can confirm this. Dragons were revered by China's ancestors in ancient times. The Chinese nation took Yanhuang as its ancestor for 5,000 years, and their clan took dragons as its totem. As a surname, the dragon surname has a long history. According to statistics, among the most popular surnames in China 100, dragon ranks 85th. The origin of the dragon surname is roughly as follows:
(1) descendants of the Yellow Emperor Minister Longxing. According to "Zhang Shu Xun Xing" and "Zhu Shu Ji Nian", "Huang is prosperous." According to various historical records, the Yellow Emperor lived in Xiong, which is today's xinzheng city. As one of the emperor's important ministers, Longxing Xing naturally should live among bears, so this dragon surname comes from xinzheng city, Henan.
(2) Descendants of Nayanlong in Shun Dynasty. According to books such as A Brief History of Tongzhi Imperial Clans, Guang Yun and Compilation of Yuanhe Surnames, there was a minister named Long in Shun, who was appointed as (the official who announced the life of the emperor in Yao Dian, equivalent to the ministerial order of later generations), and there was a saying in Jing and Shun Dian: "I order you to be the cashier at night. His descendants take the dragon as their surname, and Shun's active area is mainly in the south of Shanxi, so this branch of the dragon surname should come from today's Shanxi Province.
(3) Give yourself a surname, a descendant of the dragon. According to the "Twenty-nine Years of Zuo Gong, Tongzhi Imperial Clan's Words and Actions Draft", Dong Fu once tamed dragons for Shun Di, so he took Dong as his surname and made him a dragon. One of his descendants took the dragon as his surname. Dongfu is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor and takes himself as his surname, so the emperor gave himself his surname. According to legend, Qilongcheng in Linying County, Henan Province today is the fief of Dong Fu. Another way of saying it is that the fief of Dong Fu is located in the northwest of Dingtao County, Shandong Province.
(4) the descendants of Yu Long. Textual research on surnames cited in "Jiwen of Surnames" shows that the surname of Long comes from Yulong family, and it looks out of Wuling and Tianshui. Liu Lei, a descendant of Yao Di, once learned the art of dragon training from Chi Rong's family, so he was given the royal dragon by Kong Jia after Xia Dynasty 13 generations, and was responsible for taming many dragons of Kong Jia. This matter can be found in Historical Records Xia Benji. A descendant of Liu Lei took the dragon as his surname. "Justice in Historical Records" quoted the record in "National Records": "Liu Lei's old city is 55 miles south of Gou County, Luozhou." Gouxian County in Luozhou is located in the south of Yanshi County in Henan Province, so this dragon surname also comes from Henan Province.
(5) In the Western Han Dynasty, the sheep's surname was Keda. According to the Records of Huayang Country in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Ke is an ancient family. Kexian County, Yang Cong County, was established in the Western Han Dynasty and is located in the northwest of Kaili County, Guizhou Province.
(6) The ancient countries in the western regions and the royal descendants of Mie (now Shanshan County, Xinjiang) and Yanqi (now forty miles southwest of Yanqi, Xinjiang). According to the "History of the North" written by li yanshou in the Tang Dynasty, "King Chimi and King Yanqi both have dragon surnames." Yanqi was a kingdom in the Western Regions during the Western Han Dynasty. When the Dragon Society was king, the country was very strong and its reputation in Conglindong was far spread. Later, his son Long Xi succeeded to the throne. Since Longxi, this dragon surname has gradually integrated into the Central Plains cultural circle and become an important part of the dragon surname family.
(7) During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the chief of Longpan, one of the ethnic minorities in Huishui, Guizhou, was named Long, and his descendants were integrated into the Han, Buyi, Shui and Miao nationalities in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
(8) The surname of China of the Yi Lv Sipu clan is Dragon, which means Dragon in Chinese. Later, people in this clan took the dragon as their surname. In addition, the dragon surname is also an important surname of Hui, Miao and other ethnic minorities.
From the origin of the dragon surname, we can know that the earliest active areas of the dragon surname should be in Henan and Shanxi. Later, due to various reasons, people named Long began to emigrate. In the Xia Dynasty, a man named Long moved eastward to Longheji in the southwest of Juye County, Shandong Province. During the Spring and Autumn Period, in the southwest of today's Tai 'an City, there was once a small vassal state called Longyi. Before the Han Dynasty, people named Long had begun to move into Shu, and then moved from Shu to Guizhou. By the Han Dynasty, people named Long had been active in many places. During this period, the dragon was mainly active in Gansu, Hubei, Hunan, Henan, Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and other regions. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, historical changes made the Long family absorb many new tribes, some ethnic minorities joined the Long family, and the activities of the Long family became more extensive. At the same time, the dragon surname living in the Central Plains moved south to escape the war, and the number of dragon surnames in the south increased sharply. In the third year of Chongning in the Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1 104), Longhai Qing, whose ancestral home was Putian, Fujian Province, was ordered to make Qiongzhou a town general and led thousands of soldiers to settle in Hainan. They landed in Xiayang near Guannan Market, Huiwen Town, Wenchang County, and the descendants of Long Haiqing settled in Wenchang, and Long Haiqing became the ancestor of Long surname who entered Hainan. Later, a dragon surname in Yongxin, Jiangxi, moved to Dongshan, Chaling, Hunan. In the early years of Ming Hongwu, he moved from Dongshan to Youxian. In the second year of Ming Hongwu (AD 1369), he was originally from Longxiusan, Jishui County, Jiangxi Province, and moved to Hunan with his brother. Long Youhong of Dongting Mountain in Taihu Lake moved to Songjiang during the reign of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty. /kloc-At the end of 0/9 century, many people named Long sailed to Nanyang, stopping in Singapore, Malaya, Indonesia and the Philippines. After the ancestors of Singapore dragons came to the south to make a living, they set up a "Dragon Temple" in Lion City on 1903, so that the villagers who came to Nanyang could gather together to worship their ancestors and publicize the dragon name. "Dragon Palace" later developed into "Qiongya Dragon Club" and then developed into "Singapore Dragon Club". Starting from 2 1 generation of dragon surnames, the order of dragon surnames in Singapore is as follows: Wuling originated, Putian was the official, the official voice was in Nanyue, and Yingjie inherited it. According to this ranking, Singapore's Long surname is probably a descendant of Long Haiqing who moved to Hainan in the Northern Song Dynasty or his officers and men.
Long surname has produced many outstanding figures in the family history, and there are also many outstanding figures in the history of Long surname, such as Zi Long mentioned in Mencius, Long Shu mentioned in Liezi, Long Jia, a general of Wei State, and Long Dan, a general of Xiang Yu.

Niccolo Longobardi was proficient in astronomical calendars in the Ming Dynasty, and co-authored New Arithmetic with Xu Guangqi and others in Beijing during the Wanli period. Long Xie is a famous legendary writer in Qing Dynasty, who was praised by people at that time for "Qionghuameng" and "Yingrongcheng". Long used to be a cabinet book and wrote "Mo Zhai Ji" ... These people named Long have made their own contributions to the development of the Chinese nation through their own efforts.
