The
Yuanhe Xingzuan (元和姓纂) is an imperial
Tang dynasty register of the genealogies of China's prominent families. It was compiled by Lin Bao (林宝), on the order of
Emperor Xianzong (reigned 805–820), whose era name was Yuanhe. The book was completed in 812 and records 1,232 surnames.
The Yuanhe Xingzuan contains the register of the most prominent families of the time, starting with Li 李, the imperial family. The other families are arranged according to the phonetic system of the Guangyun dictionary. The main sources are private genealogy books and not necessarily reliable historical facts. It also quotes from many older texts including Shiben, Fengsu Tongyi, Zuxingji (族姓记), Sanfu Juelu (三辅决录), Baijiapu (百家谱), Yingxian Zhuan (英贤传), Xingyuan Yunpu (姓源韵谱), and Xing Yuan (姓苑).
The original book was lost during the Song dynasty, but Qing dynasty scholars Sun Xingyan (孙星衍) and Hong Ying (洪莹) collected quotations from the Ming dynasty encyclopedia Yongle Dadian and the Song dynasty book Gujin Xingshi Shu Bianzheng (古今姓世书辨证), and compiled them into an 18-volume version which is included in the Siku Quanshu.

清朝官修《四库全书》自《永乐大典》辑出，并进行一校工作，辑成十八卷。孙星衍、洪莹进行二校工作，后罗振玉进行第三次校勘。
岑仲勉又重行校勘，写成《元和姓纂四校记》，特重于「芟误」、「拾遗」、「正本」、「伐伪」，功力最深，收获最多；王仲荦又作《关于岑仲勉元和姓纂四校记》，对岑未及者又有所补益。
