The origin and family history of the surname Tan: 1. It comes from the surname Si. That is to say, the ancestors of the Tan family in our country are the descendants of the sage Xia Yu with the surname Si. According to historical records, in the early years of the Zhou Dynasty, when the princes were enfeoffed, they established the Tan Kingdom (today's west of Zhangqiu County, Shandong Province), with the title of son. Since the country was never strong, it soon became a vassal of Qi. In the early Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi dominated the princes and annexed the state of Tan. The son of the king of Tan State fled to Ju (today's Ju County, Shandong Province). The descendants who stayed in their home country had to take the country as their surname and call them Tan. The record of the Tan surname in history books was first seen in "Zuo Zhuan" in the 10th year of Lu Zhuanggong: "In the tenth month of winter, the Qi army destroyed Tan, and Tan Zi fled to Ju." Coincidentally, there is a similar record in the "Book of Songs", the poem says : "The son of the Marquis of Qi, the wife of the Marquis of Wei, the sister of the East Palace, the aunt of the Marquis of Xing, Tan Gong is private." The Tan Gong in the poem refers to the princes and kings of the Tan Kingdom, which is located in the southwest of Pingling County, Jinan. The reason why Duke Huan of Qi destroyed the state of Tan was because the state of Tan was rude to Qi. It is said that when Duke Huan of Qi passed by the state of Tan, the king of Tan did not show the proper etiquette at that time. Later, after Duke Huan of Qi returned to his country, other princes and small countries came to congratulate him. Tan Guo did not send envoys to congratulate him. Therefore, in the winter of that year (684 BC), Duke Huan of Qi used this as an excuse to destroy the state of Tan. In fact, the Spring and Autumn Period was when the princes were competing in the Central Plains. The real purpose of Duke Huan of Qi in destroying Duke Tan was to compete for hegemony. After the fall of the Tan Kingdom, the monarch Tan Bo fled to Ju (today's Ju County, Shandong Province). In order to commemorate their homeland, the descendants who stayed in their homeland "took the country as their surname" and passed down the surname Tan. This is reflected in the "Surname Genealogy" and "Surname Genealogy". All are recorded in "Compilation".

Tan Bo is a descendant of Dayu. Because Dayu's surname is Si (sound 51), some people say that the surname Tan "is derived from the Si surname". Su Pingzhong in the Ming Dynasty once made a family tree of the Tan family, and wrote in the preface: "Tan Bensi's surname is Viscount." "Historical Records" says that Emperor Yu's surname was Si. Emperor Yu was the great Yu who accomplished flood control in the Central Plains during the Yao period. The origin of the surname Dayu Si is because Dayu's mother Xiuji "swallowed coix and gave birth to Yu". "Coix" (pronounced yi yi) is a herbaceous plant that was regarded as a fairy grass at that time. In fact, it has medicinal value. Therefore, Dayu took part of Yi and "Nv" and combined them into the surname "Si". In ancient times, Hou's surnames such as "Ji" and "Jiang" all contained the "female" component. Dayu was the son of Gun. Gun's father was Zhuanxu, his grandfather was Changyi, and his great-grandfather was Huangdi. The Xia Dynasty with the surname Si was destroyed by the Shang Dynasty with the surname Zi, and the Shang Dynasty was destroyed by the Zhou Dynasty with the surname Jiang. In the early years of the Zhou Dynasty, the descendants of the ancestors of the great sages were granted the title of "son" to some of Xia Yu's descendants with the surname Si. This was one of the origins of the surname Tan and the surname Tan. 2. It comes from the ancient southwest ethnic minorities. According to the textual research of "Tongpu of Ten Thousand Surnames", six surnames in Banan (today's Yunnan and Guizhou areas) have the surname Tan. After calling themselves Panhu, they looked out for Hongnong. The "Surname Genealogy" records that "the surname Banan has the Tan family", and it is also recorded in the "Tonggupu of Ten Thousand Surnames": "The surname Banan has the Tan family. After Luhu (pan hu), look out to Hongnong." Hongnong means that the prominent family surnamed Tan lives in Hongnong County, which is the area south of present-day Henan and west of Yiyang in the Luo, Yi, Xichuan and other river basins, as well as the Luoshui, upper reaches of the Shechuan River and the Danjiang River basin in Shaanxi. . Luhu can also be written as Panhu, also known as Panwang. It is a heroic ancestor god spread among the Yao, She, Miao and other ethnic minorities in Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang and other provinces. According to records about Panhu in the "Book of the Later Han? Biography of the Southern Barbarians", Gaoxin's Fan (sound chi) was the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor. When he was 15 years old, he assisted Zhuan Xu and established great achievements. He was named a prince and his capital was in Gao. pungent. Later, he was harassed by a general named Wu, so he recruited people from all over the world, saying that whoever could cut off General Wu's head and present it to him would marry his daughter. At that time, he had a dog named Panhu with colorful hair on his body. After Panhu heard this, he unexpectedly took General Wu's head back and put it under Chun's tent. Fan had no choice but to let Panhu take his daughter away. Panhu took the princess to a stone room in a large mountain in the south, and later gave birth to 12 children - six boys and six girls. Panhu and his children thrived here for generations, and developed what is known in history books as A "barbarian" ethnic minority. Although this legend is absurd, it is described in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Sou Shen Ji", "Huainanzi" and "Shui Jing Zhu". According to the legend of the Yao people, Panhu's descendants mainly have 12 surnames, namely: Pan, Mu (mu Qin) (shen), Bao (mu Qin), Huang, Li, Deng, Zhou, Zhao, Tang, Lei, Feng, Hu. Among them, Hui gradually changed into the three surnames of Qin, Tan and Tan in the historical evolution, but the surname Hui disappeared. Modern archeology has shown that myths are credible to a certain extent. Whether Panhu is a human or a dog, or just a totem symbol, I will not go into details, but the legend about him at least shows that in the south...gt;gt;

Origin of the surname Tan

1. Comes from the surname Si. That is to say, the ancestors of the Tan family in our country are the descendants of the sage Xia Yu with the surname Si.

According to historical records, in the early years of the Zhou Dynasty, when the feudal lords were enfeoffed, Tan State (now west of Zhangqiu County, Shandong Province) was established, with the title of son. Since the country was never strong, it soon became a vassal of Qi State. In the early Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi dominated the princes and annexed the state of Tan. The son of the king of Tan State fled to Ju (today's Ju County, Shandong Province). The descendants who stayed in their homeland had to take the country as their surname and call them Tan.

The earliest record of the Tan surname in history books can be found in "Zuo Zhuan" in the 10th year of Lu Zhuanggong: "In the tenth month of winter, the Qi army destroyed Tan, and Tan Zi fled to Ju." Coincidentally, in the "Book of Songs" There are similar records in the poem. The poem says: "The son of the Marquis of Qi, the wife of the Marquis Wei, the sister of the East Palace, the aunt of the Marquis Xing, Tan Gong protects his private interests." The Tan Gong in the poem refers to the princes and kings of the Tan Kingdom, and the Tan Kingdom is located in Pingling, Jinan. Southwest of the county. The reason why Duke Huan of Qi destroyed the state of Tan was because the state of Tan was rude to Qi. It is said that when Duke Huan of Qi passed by the state of Tan, the king of Tan did not show the proper etiquette at that time. Later, after Duke Huan of Qi returned to his country, other princes and small countries came to congratulate him. Tan Guo did not send envoys to congratulate him. Therefore, in the winter of that year (684 BC), Duke Huan of Qi used this as an excuse to destroy the state of Tan. In fact, the Spring and Autumn Period was when the princes were competing in the Central Plains. The real purpose of Duke Huan of Qi in destroying Duke Tan was to compete for hegemony.

After the fall of the Tan Kingdom, the monarch Tan Bo fled to Ju (today's Ju County, Shandong Province). In order to commemorate their homeland, the descendants who stayed in the country "took the country as their surname" and passed down the surname Tan.

Emperor Yu was the great Yu who accomplished flood control in the Central Plains during the Yao period. The origin of the surname Dayu Si is because Dayu's mother Xiuji "swallowed coix and gave birth to Yu". "Coix" is a herbaceous plant that was regarded as a fairy grass at that time, but it actually has medicinal value. Therefore, Dayu took part of Yi and "Nv" and combined them into the surname "Si". In ancient times, Hou's surnames such as "Ji" and "Jiang" all contained the "female" part. Dayu was the son of Gun. Gun's father was Zhuanxu, his grandfather was Changyi, and his great-grandfather was Huangdi.

The Xia Dynasty with the surname Si was destroyed by the Shang Dynasty with the surname Zi, and the Shang Dynasty was destroyed by the Zhou Dynasty with the surname Jiang. In the early years of the Zhou Dynasty, the descendants of the ancestors of the great sages were granted the title of son by some of Xia Yu's descendants with the Si surname.

Later, he was harassed by a general named Wu, so he recruited people from all over the world, saying that whoever could chop off General Wu's head and present it to him would marry his daughter. At that time, he had a dog named Panhu with colorful hair on his body. After Panhu heard this, he unexpectedly took General Wu's head back and put it under Chun's tent. Fan had no choice but to let Panhu take his daughter away. Panhu took the princess to a stone room in a large mountain in the south, and later gave birth to 12 children - six boys and six girls. Panhu and his children thrived here for generations, and developed what is known in history books as A "barbarian" ethnic minority.
