Chai Zongxun →
Guo Zongxun – To put it simply, there is no evidence as far as I know he ever used the surname "Chai" during his life even though he was the biological son of
Chai Rong (who ideally should be at
Guo Rong from a historical standpoint, but
Chai Rong is acceptable since this is the name modern people are more familiar with due to folklore, novels etc., and that he actually has used the name). When Zongxun was born, his father was already known as "Guo Rong". See here:
[1] which identifies them as "Chai Rong" and "Guo Zongxun" respectively. Also see
The Cambridge History of China Volume 5, Figure 3. "Genealogy of Later Han and Later Chou ruling houses", which lists them as "Kuo Jung" (
wade-giles spelling of "Guo Rong") and "Kuo Tsung-hsün" ("Guo Zongxun"). Both "Guo Zongxun" and "Chai Zongxun" generated 7 results on Google Books so I don't think anyone can argue
WP:COMMONNAME. The Five Dynasties period is extremely confusing with people changing their surnames back and forth for allegiance purposes, but I agree with the current practice largely adopted by
User:Nlu which is to use a surname only if there is evidence that he himself, and not his father or his son, has used that surname. See the titles of
Li Cunshen (father) and
Fu Yanqing (son who BTW may be Guo Zongxun's maternal grandfather), even though many history books call Li Cunshen "Fu Cunshen" which is wrong. --Relisted.
