Surnames in China

People, and even entire clans, have been known to change their surnames entirely in order to avoid persecution. Eric m asks about things that he saw on a chinese dramas. He noticed that officials there would draw a lot from a jar or a container and then throw it as the sentence is passed. And he adds that this is most common in chinese shows, but he's also seen it in vam and korean shows as well. So there's obviously some chinese influence there. Do not say that king an's hexograms are ineffective fear, only that the diviner's reading is untrue.
