The grantee will belong to the royal family, become the royal family, and be managed by Zongzheng Temple, which is a great courtesy of the emperor to his courtiers.
4. Giving the surname is helpful to the rapid and stable consolidation and netting of the regime in the early Tang Dynasty. After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, in order to quell the rebellion, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty adopted this method again, especially in the later period of the counterinsurgency war. Correcting the name of these traitors who have contributed to the country has played a positive role in ending the war as soon as possible and restoring social stability.

Since then, it has become more and more popular to give surnames to ethnic chiefs. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Khitan Tusi Kuge, Tusi Kedu, Mohong Tusi Land Foundation and Heishui Tusi Nishuliji were subordinate to their ministries, all of which took Li as their surname.

People attach importance to surnames, which highlights the deep-rooted patriarchal concept and family thought formed in ancient people's thoughts for a long time. In the national sense, surnames also reflect a trend of national integration movement and national identity psychology.
