The page quotes Xing Shi Xun Yuan for a possible place-name origin: Xia Bian was a place in Wudu, whose former site was west of present-day Cheng County, Gansu. It also quotes Zhongguo Xing Shi Da Quan as saying that “辨” may correspond to “卞” and “弁,” citing variant forms such as Bian Yanzi. These are quoted accounts on the page, not a verified single lineage.
