As we all know, although there are many surnames in China, there are also population differences among different surnames. In our daily life, many people are surnamed Li, Zhang and Wang. According to the national surname report in previous years, the population of Wang Xing has now exceeded 654.38 billion, making it the most popular surname in China. Why are there so many people surnamed Wang? In fact, there are many reasons for this situation, and the main reason is due to historical factors.
According to relevant archaeological achievements, many historians believe that the main source is the surname of Ji, a noble in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. As the ancestor of Ji, its population is far more than other surnames in the same period. In addition, this clan is rich in historical background and economic strength, so it can ensure the development of surname clan to the greatest extent. Due to the large population base, some celebrities can stand out from it, which has once again expanded the size of the Wang family to some extent. In this snowballing situation, there are more and more people surnamed Wang, thus forming the first surname today.
In addition, another reason why the Wang family is huge is that other nationalities or surnames in history especially like to change their surnames to Wang. According to historical records, whether Xiongnu, Manchu or Mongolian, these ethnic minorities changed their names to Wang Xing after they came to the Central Plains, which shows that Wang Xingjiao is still popular.
