Cun / Cun
The source explicitly classifies Cun as a relatively rare surname currently used in China and states that it occurs among Bai, Han, and Lisu people; it therefore should not be presumed to belong to a single ethnic group.
This secondary compilation says that the surname is included in Xu Tongzhi and the clan section of Qing Tongzhi, and relays a quotation from Xingshi Xunyuan through Xingshi Kaolue: “Among the indigenous people of Langqiong in Yunnan there is the surname Cun.” These are secondary reports, not direct verification of the original works.
During the Ming dynasty, Cun Yu served in the Honglu Temple theatrical troupe and as a professor at the Siyiguan. He also went on a mission to Myanmar and contributed to ancient Sino-Myanmar relations.
