 Chinese name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chinese married women usually retain their maiden name as their family name, rather than adopt the name of their husband, and children usually inherit the father's family name.
Chinese given names have one or two characters, and are written after the family name.
In some families, one of the two characters in the personal name is shared by all members of a generation and these generational names are worked out long in advance, historically in a poem listing the names.

 Chinese surname - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Chinese surname, family name (Chinese: 姓; pinyin: xìng or clan name 氏; shì), is one of the hundreds or thousands of family names that have been historically used by Han Chinese and Sinicized Chinese ethnic groups in mainland China, Taiwan, and among ethnic Chinese in overseas Chinese communities.
Chinese family names are patrilineal, passed from father to children.
For example, the 55th most popular family name Xiao (肖) is almost unheard of in Hong Kong, as this "new" surname was "created" from oversimplifying the traditional surname "蕭" during the Cultural Revolution.

 Chan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chan (Chinese 禪) is traditionally held to be a Chinese adaptation of Indian dhyana meditation practices, and is also often said to be influenced by indigenous Chinese Taoism.
According this view, Chan was a reaction to a perceived imbalance in Chinese Buddhism toward the blind pursuit of textual scholarship with a concomitant neglect of the original essence of Buddhist practice: meditation and the cultivation of right view.
During the late Tang and the Song periods, the tradition truly flowered, as a wide number of eminent teachers, such as Mazu, Baizhang, and Linji developed specialized teaching methods, which would become characteristic of each of the "" of mature Chinese Chan.
