1. Origin of the surname
The origin of the surname Long (Lóng) cannot be studied in detail because it mostly involves mythology. There are seven sources:
1. From Long Xing, a minister of the Yellow Emperor. According to the Records of Surnames and the Chronicles of the Bamboo Book, dragons roamed the Yellow Emperor's ministers, and bears lived in the Yellow Emperor's residence (today's Xinzheng, Henan Province). It is the Long family of Henan.
2. It comes from Nayanlong in the Shun Dynasty, and is named after his official name. According to the "Tongzhi Clan Brief", the Long family was Shun Chen's name, and Long Ye Nayan (the so-called Nayan was an official position at that time dedicated to cashiers and appointed by the emperor.) The descendants took the official name Long as their surname. Because Shun's activity area was in southern Shanxi, the Zhilong family came from present-day Shanxi Province. It is the Shanxi Long family.
3. It comes from ancient myths and legends, after the Yulong clan. According to "A Study of Surnames", the surname Long comes from the Yulong family, which looks out to Wuling and Tianshui. For example, among the descendants of Liu Lei, the Yulong clan of the Xia Dynasty (after Yao, because of his ability to tame dragons, he was highly appreciated by Emperor Kong Jia of Xia and was given the title of "Yulong clan"), some of them have dragon as their surname. Liu Lei's old city is located in the south of Yanshi County, Henan Province, and is called the Henan Long family.
4. It comes from ancient myths and legends, after the Huanlong clan. According to materials such as "Tongzhi Clan Brief" and "Manuscripts of Words and Deeds of Famous Xian Clan", it is said that Dong's father, who had already given the surname, was good at raising dragons and raised them as livestock, so he was given the surname "Huanlong" by Shun. Some of his descendants have Long as their surname, and they are the Hubei Long surname.
5. People with the surname Long come from the Zanggao area of ??the Western Han Dynasty. According to "Huayang Guozhi", among the surnames of Zanggao in the Western Han Dynasty, Long was one of them. Zangqi County governs the northwest of present-day Kaili County, Guizhou Province.
6. It comes from the place name, taking the place where the food is collected as the surname. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu officials gathered food from Long (now Long Township, southwest of Tai'an, Shandong Province), and some of their descendants took Long as their surname.
7. People from other origins and minority ethnic groups have the surname Long:
① According to the "History of the North", the Yanqi Kingdom (now southwest of Yanqi, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region), the Western Region Qiemi ( Today's Changji and Manas counties in Xinjiang), their kings are all of the Long clan.
② There are dragon surnames among minority ethnic groups. In my country, the Miao, Pumi, Hani, Yi, Dong, Yao, Shui and other ethnic groups all have the surname Long.
The ancestor who got the surname: Liu Lei. During the Xia Dynasty, Liu Guoyou's family had a son. When the child was born, there were patterns on his hands, so he named him Liu Lei. When Liu Lei grew up, he followed Dong's father to learn the skill of raising dragons. He was named "Yulong Clan" by Emperor Kong Jia of Xia and tamed Kong Jia's four dragons. Once, a dragon died, so Liu Lei made the dragon meat into soup and served it as game to Kong Jia. Kong Jia felt that the taste was particularly delicious and was very happy, so he gave Liu Lei many belongings. A few days later, Kong Jia wanted to eat this "game" again, so he sent someone to ask for it. Liu Lei felt that it was difficult to deceive him, and he was afraid that Kong Jia would blame him, so he fled to Luyang with his family. Because he was named "Yu Long" by Kong Jia, some descendants took Long as their surname, and Liu Lei was revered as the ancestor of the Dragon surname.
2. Migration and Distribution
In the legendary era, the birthplaces of the Dragon surname were Henan, Shanxi and Hubei. Because there are many branches of the Dragon surname, they are widely distributed. This feature allows the Dragon surname to quickly expand and multiply to the surrounding areas. Around the Han Dynasty, Gansu, Hubei and Hunan provinces and the areas between Shanxi, Hebei, Henan and Shandong were the three major centers for the reproduction of the Dragon surname. During this period, people with the Long surname moved into Shuzhong (now part of Sichuan), and later moved south to Guizhou, forming one of the four major surnames (Long, Fu, Yin, and Dong). During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, people with the Dragon surname from the Central Plains moved south to avoid war, which contributed to the increase in the population of the South. This migration also laid a solid foundation for the development of the Dragon surname in Jiangnan and later in the north. According to "Northern History": "King Qiemi and King Yanqi both have the surname Dragon." Yanqi is a small country in the Western Regions. When Long Hui was in power, he defeated King Qiuci. For a time, everyone east of Congling subdued, and his son Long Xi When he was in power, after surrendering to the Liang Dynasty, he sent his son to serve as a servant, and gradually integrated with the Han people. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the chiefs of Longfan among the eight divisions all had the surname Long. Later, they were divided into Dalongfan and Xiaolongfan to appease the divisions, Yanglongkeng, Gulong, and Shanglong long divisions, and Anlongtu thousands of households. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the Dragon surname experienced the second large-scale southward migration in history, causing the population of the Dragon surname in the south to greatly exceed that in the north. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, each branch of the above-mentioned "Longfan" developed into the "Long Family" and gradually integrated with the Han, Buyi, Shui and Miao ethnic groups.
Judging from the historical evolution process of the Dragon surname, this process not only reflects the integration of the Northern Dragon surname with various ethnic groups in the South, but also reflects the integration of the Dragon surname of ethnic minorities with the Han and other ethnic groups. In this step-by-step integration, the surname Long completed its historical journey throughout China. Today, the number of people with the surname Dragon is especially high in Hunan, Sichuan, Guangdong, Jiangxi and other provinces. The four provinces account for about 67% of the Han population with the surname Dragon in the country. The surname Long is the 85th most common surname in China today. It has a large population, accounting for about 0.23% of the country's Han population.

Appendix: About the word dragon
Dragon is regarded as a "divine creature" by the ancients. "Shuowen Jiezi" of the Han Dynasty: "Dragon is as long as a lin-worm. It can be dark or bright, thin or giant, short or long. It ascends to the sky at the spring equinox and dives into the abyss at the autumnal equinox." In mythology, gods often ride on dragons. The emperor proclaimed himself the "True Dragon Emperor".
Therefore, people do not use it lightly, and dragons are much rarer than tigers. The cloth dragon in the picture has a big head and short body, and is covered with floral decorations. It looks like a young dragon, with white hair in its nostrils. It looks like a child's play, with a small bell hanging around its neck, more like a pet at home. . It reminds me of the legend that there were people who kept dragons in ancient times. "Zuo Zhuan·The 29th Year of Zhao Gong": "In ancient times, people kept dragons. In my country, there were Quanlong clan and Yulong clan."
