The source page states that the Xu Tongzhi, “Shizu Lue,” records the surname and places it under the falling-tone section; it also quotes the Xing Shi Kaolue as suggesting that it may derive from the descendants of Wei Huang at the end of the Han. These are the webpage’s reports of the texts, not independent verification of the originals.
The source page lists Beijing, Wuhan in Hubei, and Taiyuan in Shanxi; another passage on the same page also lists Beijing, Wuhan, and Taipei in Taiwan. It provides no population figure or statistical year.
