Baixing (or lao baixing is a term in Chinese meaning "the people", or "commoners". The word lao is often added before "baixing" to give the term a more affectionate tone. Chinese family names are patrilineal, passed from father to children. Chinese women, after marriage, typically retain their birth surname. Historically, however, only Chinese men possessed xìng, in addition to shì; the women had only the latter, and took on their husband's xìng after marriage.
