Origin note

Qing is verified as a rare surname with multiple recorded origin traditions. The strongest concrete surname-source wording here is the Lu Shi tradition cited by Zupulu, connecting Qing to Qi Taigong descendants or Qingyang. Baijiayoupu adds additional recorded layers, including a Qingqiu fief, Qingwuzi descendants, Tangut/Xixia and Di ethnic groups, while Zupulu separately preserves a Mongol changed-surname story but labels it as a folk tradition with evidence still to be checked. The page therefore keeps the layers separate and cautious.
