Chinese surnames are used by Han Chinese and Sinicized ethnic groups in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, and among overseas Chinese communities. In ancient times two types of surnames, ancestral names (Chinese: 姓; pinyin: xing) and clan names (Chinese: 氏; pinyin: shi), existed. The colloquial expressions laobaixing (老百姓; lit. "old hundred surnames"), and baixing (百姓, lit. "hundred surnames") are used in Chinese to mean "ordinary folks", "the people", or "commoners." The Baijiaxing (百家姓) or "Hundred Family Surnames" refers to an ancient text documenting Chinese surnames. Chinese family names are patrilineal, passed from father to children. (In cases of adoption, the adoptee usually also takes the same surname.) In current Chinese practice, surnames are not changed upon marriage. However, in places with Western influence such as Hong Kong, women may (legally or informally) adopt their husband's surname.
