Migration and Distribution (Information is lacking) The Shuang surname is not listed among the top 100 surnames in the mainland of China and Taiwan. In ancient times, Huangdi, the Yellow Emperor, was a well - known clan leader. One of his grandsons, Zhuanxu, was also a famous tribal leader. Later, during the Xia Dynasty, the monarch of the Xia Dynasty respected the great figures of ancient times and enfeoffed the descendants of Zhuanxu to the place called Mengshuangcheng. Some of their descendants took the characters "Meng" and "Shuang" from the place name as their surnames, known as the Meng and Shuang surnames respectively. This is the origin of the Shuang surname today. During the Tang Dynasty, there were people with the Shuang surname among ethnic minorities. Many ethnic minorities migrated to the Central Plains during the Tang Dynasty. They intermarried with the Han people. On the one hand, they brought their own ethnic cultures, and on the other hand, they accepted Han culture, resulting in a great integration of various ethnic groups across the Chinese land. It was a period of ethnic prosperity in Chinese history. The ethnic minorities with the Shuang surname were also one of them, and they contributed to the development of the history of the Shuang surname.
