Fu Xi pressed his hand downward, signaling everyone to quiet down first.
Once the entire hall had calmed down, he slowly began, "Chiefs, do you know how many clansmen named Bu, Shui, or Lu there are in the tribes?"
Hearing Fu Xi's words, everyone began to ponder as well.
They had not noticed it before Fu Xi brought it up. Now that he had, they thought it over and realized that there really were quite a few people with the same names.
"The first matter to discuss today is this. To distinguish everyone more easily, I've thought of a solution."
"Add surnames! For example, Bu can become Ji Bu, Sang Bu, or Lü Xiaobu."
"That way, it'll be much easier to tell them apart."
The crowd was stunned at first, then delight appeared on their faces. Just as Fu Xi had said, after adding surnames, they would no longer need to worry about mistaking people for one another, nor would they have to fear someone falsely claiming their merit.
