Probe into the origin of Lin surname

Biganlin

Derived from the son's surname. At the end of Shang dynasty, Shang and Zhou dynasties were immoral, destroyed loyalty and put the country in danger. Uncle Bigan of Shang and Zhou Dynasties was a very virtuous man. He risked his life to protest to Zhou Wang many times. Zhou Wang was very angry and ordered Beagan to be executed. When Bi Gan died, his wife Chen was pregnant. In order to avoid persecution by Zhou Wang, she fled to Mu Ye (now southwest of Qixian County and northwest of Weihui) with four handmaids. Later, a boy named Quan was born in a cave in a deep forest. After five attacks, Chen took the sword to the Zhou Dynasty. He is a descendant of a virtuous minister, born in the deep mountains and forests, so he was given the surname Lin, Ming Jian, Ming, and worshipped as a doctor. The descendant of is Lin.

Lin

Originated from Ji surname. In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there was a son named Kai and Zilin. He didn't succeed to the throne because his biological mother was not his wife. In order to commemorate this ancestor, later generations took his word as their surname and called it Lin. I can't find this now.

Xianbeilin

Originated from Xianbei nationality. The rulers of the Northern Wei Dynasty all came from Xianbei nationality, and most of them had surnames of more than two words. After Emperor Xiaowen arrived, in order to eliminate the boundaries between ethnic groups, he ordered the Xianbei surname to be changed to the Han surname, and some of them also changed their surnames to Lin. Later, the Lin surname from Xianbei nationality was further integrated with the Han nationality and became an integral part of the Lin surname.

Snake seed forest

Originated from Fujian Jianzhou. In the Tang Dynasty, there were some ethnic minorities named Lin who took snakes as totems in Jianzhou, Fujian (now Jian 'ou County), and they were considered as "snake species". The snake is called "Xiaolong", and this Lin surname may also be a branch of Chinese descendants. Especially after the Tang Dynasty, there was no special record of them in the history books. It is said that they changed their surname to Lin and Huang. I believe that they have completely integrated into the descendants of the Chinese people at this time.

Manchu forest

Originated from Manchu. Jia Lin and Busa of Manchu changed their surnames.
