00 a, Tan surname origin
According to the traditional formulation, Tan's surname has three sources (actually including four): 1. Tan Qiang Da took his ancestral name as his surname after he came from the Shang Dynasty. At the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wuwang's minister Tan Da was sealed in Hanoi, and Tan Daqiang forced his descendants. Some of them take their ancestors' name Tanda as their surname, called Tan Shi. They live in his seal, so there are Tan Shi in Henan and Hanoi (north of the Yellow River). 2, from the surname Jiang, after the Spring and Autumn Period, taking the name of the feudal city as the surname, "Tan's family, people eat Tancheng, because they think it is the surname." During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a Qi Huangong in Tancheng (now north of Ziyang County, Shandong Province, now Xiyang County, Shanxi Province), and some of his descendants took the name of the city as their surname, called Tan Shi. 3. Jiang Ziya helped destroy the business, and the prince of Wu gave him an ebony stick and a surname of Tan, and some of his descendants took Tan as their surname. 4. The Tan family of Xianbei nationality.
00, opinions vary. The author has read and analyzed a large number of historical materials, two of which are unconvincing. One is to send sandalwood sticks. In ancient times, surnames were constantly changing, from Ji, Jiang and Si. There are tens of millions of surnames, but they are all based on fiefs and ancestral names. It's far-fetched to change Zhang Tan's surname, besides, "Lu Shang" is changed to "Jiang Shang" (about BC 165438- BC 1065438+ BC 008). I can't say clearly. Second, the Xianbei people have the Tan family. From the archaeological point of view, it is too hasty to draw the conclusion that Huai is the leader of Xianbei. Because there is no trace of the Tan family before and after Tan in the history of Xianbei. In fact, Tan (who died at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty 18 1) was an illegitimate child and was abandoned and adopted by his grandmother. His father Tou Luhou didn't have his surname Tan, and his descendants Lian, Kuidou, Qianman and Budugen didn't mention his surname Tan. Therefore, Tan looks like a "number" and is quite famous in Xianbei. Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty advocated sinicization, Xianbei people changed their Han surnames in large numbers, and Tan descendants adopted Duan and Huai surnames.
00 is a logical statement, and taking the city as the surname is more scientific. According to historical records, Tanda was sealed in Hanoi (now Jiyuan County, Huaiqing County, Henan Province), and Zhujialiangzhu was called Tanguo, and later generations took the country name as their surname. Hanoi in ancient times refers to the Yellow River north of the Yellow River. How many people in Tancheng are called Tancheng? There are two traditional theories about the origin of Tan. One is that Tan forced Tan to the feudal country of Tan (Jiyuan County, Henan Province); The other is Tan Qiu (Ziyang County, Shandong Province, Xiyang County, Shanxi Province), a descendant of Jiang. In addition, there are Zanhuang County and tan shan. Tan Shijia Genealogy (Gude, Zhao County) records: "My ancestors started from Zanhuang and lived in Tanshan". In the Western Zhou Dynasty, a stone tablet inscribed by Zhou Muwang with the title "Good Day, Your Company" was erected in Tanshan Mountain, and antiques were collected in Zanhuang Huaiquan Temple next to Xiyang. Zanhuang was called "Mutan County" in the Western Zhou Dynasty. During the week, sandalwood was lush in Lin Yuyu. It is estimated that there is more than one place called "Tan County", so it is not surprising that sandalwood in the name of fiefs prevails in many places. The author thinks that it is more logical to take the place name as Tan's surname, which is proved by history. 1. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, Tan was forced to reach the blocked Tan State (Jiyuan, Henan). Tan Guo was indeed recorded in the list of vassal States in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and Tan Guo had the surname Tan at the earliest. This statement has a solid historical record. At the same time, from ancient times to the present, there are also Tan surnames living in Jiyuan, Henan Province and the surrounding Luoyang, Mianchi and Sanmenxia. 2. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Huangong collected grain in Tancheng (Xianqiu, Shandong Province, later changed to ziyang, now Yanzhou City). According to geographical records, Tancheng was also called Tanqiu when he was in Xianqiu, and the person who lived here was named Tan, which is well documented. Today, there are still sporadic Tan people living here in Shanxian, Jinxiang, Wenshang, Henan and Puyang. Tan Zi, a native of Qi during the Warring States Period; Tan Fu, a native of Xianqiu, Shandong Province in the Eastern Han Dynasty, is enough to show the existence of Tan in a famous family in Shandong Province. The above historical materials are strong evidence that the land was granted to Tan. 3. Historically, Zhou Muwang (Western Zhou Dynasty) wrote an inscription for Tanshan (Zanhuang, Hebei Province), and the history has been accurately recorded. Stone carvings still exist today, and there is Xiyang in Shanxi next to it, which coincides with the origin of Xiyang in Tan Shi. Today, Wutai and Yuxian in Shanxi, Pingshan, Zhaoxian, Renqiu, Longyao and Zanhuang in Hebei have many generations of Tan Shi's residences.
To sum up, the surname Tan (there are three Tancheng) is because Tancheng's fiefs are very convincing, and there are three sources, namely Jiyuan in Henan, Zanhuang in Hebei and Yanzhou in Shandong, which were called Tanguo, Tanxian and Tanqiu in ancient times.
00 two. population distribution
As for Tan's descendants, how did they reproduce and migrate in the vast history? How is it distributed today? What about Tan people from all over the world?
According to the radiation circle of the birthplace, the distribution is roughly divided into the northern part of the Yellow River, the central and western parts south of the Yellow River and the eastern part south of the Yellow River.
According to comprehensive information from all parties, there are no provinces where Tan lives in compact communities: Shanghai, Jiangxi, Tianjin, Guangdong, Guizhou, Tibet, Qinghai, Chongqing, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, and other provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions all have Tan lives in compact communities.

00 Third, ethnic migration.
00 Tan's family is relatively concentrated, but only Shandong, Shanxi Yuxian and Henan have no migration history, which shows that Tan's family has been inseparable from their native land since ancient times, and also confirms the assertion of three birthplaces; Wutai in Shanxi moved from Yuxian; The Tan family in Luancheng, Hebei Province, is said to have moved from Fan Shi, Shanxi Province, and Zhao County, Pingshan and Longyao in Hebei Province are said to have moved from Shanxi in the Ming Dynasty (500 years ago). Tan's family has a unified statement in Anhui (genealogy record), that is, after (the son of Daoji) fled from Jingkou to Yan State, one of his descendants moved to Anhui and has been reproducing ever since; Yongtai Tan's family also has a unified view, that is, in the Ming Dynasty, it entered Fujian from Houshuyuan Village, Shimen Township, Jiande County, Anhui Province, and moved to Yongtai Wenzao from Xiantou Tantou, Putian in the 18th year of Ming Chenghua. There are three theories about Tan's migration in Guangxi. One is that he moved from Shandong in 1376, the other is that Tan Gu was demoted to Guangxi in Song Dynasty, and the third is that Tan Shao () moved from Fuzhou in Hongwu period and belonged to Yongtai.
Four, 00 humanistic customs
00 Tan's surname is very old, and a noble family was formed in the Western Zhou Dynasty, with a history of more than 3,000 years. The ancestors of the Tan family are still alive, and they all inherit the tradition of defending the country. They are loyal to their country and sincere and frank with others. Otherwise, there would be no tragedy for the Daoji family. In the Song Dynasty, the iron frame clanked and he risked his life to impeach three murderers. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Tan Gong specialized in "courtesy" and treated people with courtesy. Tan's descendants are highly skilled in martial arts. Guangxi has "four-door boxing" and Yongtai has "three wars" and "four-door boxing". Men, women and children have mastered some boxing routines. There is also a strange tacit understanding between Tan's family. Since ancient times, Tan has been written as "Bang", and Tan surnames in Guangxi, Hebei, Anhui, Hubei and Yongtai have all been written as "Bang", instead of "typo" invented by Yongtai people. The nationalities that have been passed down to this day are: Zhu Shize, Huang Shize, and Wei Shui. The Tan family also has a history of worshipping literature. Tan Yurun, Yongtai Wenzao, also built a "book tripod" in Sanfang and Qixiang, Fuzhou in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties for people to study, and now it is called "Jingfutang Jewelry Club".
