Hundred Family Surnames

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because "The Hundred Family Surnames" is one of the most important articles in China. It is used throughout the initiation of almost every Chinese child. Surnames are one of the most important representatives of the Chinese people, who place great importance on the transmission of bloodlines. The family name is one of the most important ways to pass on the bloodline. In addition, the surname is the most basic and important label for every Chinese. People often know each other from their surnames at the beginning. A surname represents a person's lineage, cultural heritage, and family history. It represents the long-standing culture of China. The book "The Hundred Family Surnames" is a collection of all the family names in China and has a very long history of its own. It is for this reason that "The Hundred Family Surnames" has become a widely circulated Chinese treasure. As a Chinese, I hope that through my own efforts, I can make the relevant words better and make people understand Chinese culture better.

I think the Lead section of this entry is very well developed. Too much or too little Lead section is very unreasonable. Too much length will make the reader bored, and the reader will not be interested in the long entries in the Lead section. Too short an entry will not give the reader a rough idea of the content. However, this Lead section is very concise and clear, and its moderate length allows readers to have a good understanding of the "Hundred Family Surnames" without getting bored. Readers can fully understand the basics of "Hundred Family Surnames" by reading the Lead section. I think this is a very good point of this entry.

Furthermore, I don't think the content part was done very well. First of all I am very positive about the fact that there is very well developed book content in the lexicon. By looking at the table, the reader can get a very clear idea of the specific surnames included in the "Hundred Family Surnames". However, I don't understand why the content section contains two different views on the ordering of the surnames in the "Hundred Family Surnames". I think that as long as it is stated at the top of the content section that "there are two different views on the ordering of the forms", the two different "ordering" views can be combined into one content. This approach can make the reader understand more clearly the origin of the different ordering. Second, the content section lacks a brief analysis of the origins of specific surnames. The introduction of the origin of specific surnames should be added to the text. Moreover, in the citation section, many references are made to this article, which helps to increase the authority of the article.

All in all, I think this article still has a lot of parts that need to be improved. It should be rated as "Stub". We should add more information about the origins of specific surnames. And slightly reorganize the structure of the article.
