Historical Records

A Compound Surname in the Liezi

Jingcheng is a compound surname. The Liezi, "Questions of Tang," records: “The neighbor, the widow of the Jingcheng family, had a posthumous son who, after losing his baby teeth, went to help.”

Documentary Lead

The source states that the Yugong Yishan passage of the Liezi contains “one son of the Jingcheng clan.” This confirms only that the webpage supplies this documentary lead; it gives no edition, verification against the primary text, or further account of the surname’s origin, so no genealogy or historical identity should be inferred from it.
