Origin note

Bing/邴 is treated as a fief or locality-name surname. One main layer says the Jin official Bing Yu held a fief called Bing, and descendants used the place name as a surname. Another layer points to a Qi locality also called Bing or Fang near the Taishan ritual geography, associated in surname references with Qi figures such as Bing Yizi. The page keeps those locality layers separate from the character’s dictionary meanings.
