The origin of Ming surname

It was first seen in the third year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1370). After the conquest of Myanmar, the commander stationed in Yunnan commanded Gong Ming. At present, Tengchong, Yunnan has its descendants, who have lived for more than 20 generations. Zhu Youlang, Emperor of Li Yong in Wang Gui in the Southern Ming Dynasty, moved to various places and retired to Yunnan. Some of the Hui foot soldiers who accompanied him gave their surnames and stayed in Baoshan and Tengchong. During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty (1862- 1874), facing the oppression of the Qing government, the Hui people took Ming as their surname in order to express their rebellious spirit of "resisting the Qing Dynasty and regaining sight". The resulting Ming surnames mainly came from Yunnan, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, where the Hui people had the strongest resistance to the Qing Dynasty. In Hechuan Township, Guyuan County, Ningxia, there is also "Mingchuan", which is mainly produced by the Ming Hui nationality. Hui nationality with Ming surname is mainly distributed in Yunnan, Shaanxi and Gansu. Ningxia and other places.
