Shaw's old Beijing camp.

"When I was a child in my hometown, it was not surprising that there were many people named Shao. Later, I found that this surname is really rare, and many people don't know how to pronounce it. In fact,' a scholar can read half a word', and reading Ze is right. In Boshan area, if people in the village mention a person named Zhai (with a narrow sound), it means' bang', which is the local dialect. " Shao Daohai is a cultural celebrity in Zibo. As a photographer, he has a keen interest and profound understanding of his surname. Speaking of Shao surname, he first introduced it from pronunciation. "The reason why so many people don't know this word and this surname is because as a surname, Zhang appeared very late. Compared with those ancient surnames that have been handed down for thousands of years, they are still very young, with a history of only 300 years. Our Qijiazhuang is the hometown of surnames. Tracing back to the source, we found the root here. " Shao Daohai said proudly. According to him, there are currently more than 2,000 people in Shaojiazhuang Village, and about 40% of them are surnamed Shao. Although this proportion is not very large, as the absolute number of people surnamed Shao, it is already one of the few in the country. In addition, there is a place called Fangjiazhuang 2 kilometers north of Jiaojiazhuang. 30% of the villagers are also named Jiaojiazhuang, second only to Jiaojiazhuang, and Fangjiazhuang's original name is from Jiaojiazhuang. "The pedigree of the family name is very clear, and there are not many people. They are all fellow villagers. If you count, maybe you can talk about relatives. " In addition, Shao Daohai also told reporters that his grandfather and relatives with the same surname lived near East Shuanglong Street in Jinan in the 1960s. I don't know how things are going because I haven't been in contact for many years, but according to his speculation, the existing Shandong surname in Jinan is likely to have migrated from Boshan.

Referring to the pedigree of Shao, Shao Daohai continued, "Shao has been passed down to 17 generations. Shao Ruchuan, an old man (deceased), is highly respected in Boshan area and a local cultural celebrity. When he was alive, he organized the supplement of Shaw genealogy around 2000.
