The eight surnames of Manchu in Qing Dynasty were Tong (Tong Family), Guan (Guaer Family), Ma (Ma Family), Suo (Suo Chuluo Family), He (Black Rihala), Fu (), Na (Nala Family) and Lang (Niu Road), commonly known as "Manchu Eight Surnames".

At present, Manchu surnames, commonly known as the Eight Major Surnames, are China surnames that have been constantly changing since the middle of the Qing Dynasty. Historically, Manchuria is a direct descendant of Nuzhen and an early Manchu ancestor who entered Liaodong area.

Second, the legend of origin

As early as the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, the predecessor of the royal family in the Qing Dynasty was Jia Gu, whose surname was Ze Yi, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it adopted the name of Aisin Qiaoluo. The vest was formerly Fu Yimo's, later renamed Murphy, and later took the land as the surname, and the vest as the surname. As a result, the appearance of some surnames tends to be random and irregular.

After the mid-Qing Dynasty, this trend became more complicated and irregular in China surnames of Manchu families. When all the branches of Niuyou Lv were crowned with Han surname, its surname was translated into Lang surname as early as the Jin Dynasty. During this period, some branches changed the Chinese character Niuzi as their surnames, while others changed the Chinese character Niuzi as their surnames. In addition to the first syllable of the original surname, Sochuluo took the surname, and some ethnic branches changed the Chinese character Cao to the surname, and so on.

Extended data

The historical evolution of Manchu eight surnames in Liaodong is the inevitable result of Manchu social development.

In the evolution of Manchu surnames, following surnames has also caused many obstacles to the evolution of Manchu surnames. Adding surnames makes it impossible to dissect the historical essence of surnames for a while. Among the Manchu ethnic groups, some clans of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, in addition to imitating the surnames of the Manchu Eight Banners in this period, many clans also attached to their ancestors, and most of them traced their ancestors back to the members of the Jurchen clan, making it difficult for the world to distinguish their surnames.
