During the Han Dynasty, there were more and more people named Bao. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Bao Xuan was from Gaocheng, Bohai (now Yanshan, Hebei Province).

In addition to flourishing in Shandong, the Bao surname that flourished in southern provinces such as Anhui, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang was very eye-catching, and celebrities emerged in large numbers.
