Chinese Surnames Poster (Traditional)

The hundred surnames you’ll meet most often in Taiwan, in order of how many people carry them, from 陳 and 林 down to 錢. Each one has its zhuyin and pinyin underneath, so it works as a reading chart as much as a list. Learn the first twenty and you can read the family name of more than two thirds of the people you meet.

You’ll get two versions. White prints well at home or at a copy shop. Washi is the warm paper tone in the photos, and a print shop will do it best: ask for borderless printing, or trim the edge yourself. Each comes as PDFs in 2:3, 3:4, 4:5, and A-series proportions and high-resolution PNGs, with a sizing guide and a short how-to-print sheet.
