1. Origin of the surname
The surname Lán has three origins:
1. It comes from the surname Mi. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, there was a doctor named Qi in the State of Chu. Because he was appointed as the Yin of Lan County (in the east of Jingmen County, Hubei Province today), he was also called Lan Yin Qian. The descendants of Lan Yinqi take "Lan" as their surname.
2. Comes from the surname Ying, after Boyi. In the third year of King Hui of Liang Dynasty, Qin Zixiang was appointed as the king of Lan (i.e. Lantian, today's Lantian County, Shaanxi Province). His descendants took the name of the fiefdom and called them Lan.
3. From the given surname. According to the "Lan Genealogy", the surname can be traced back to a more distant era. According to the genealogy, the ancestor of the surnamed Lan was Changqi Gong. "Changqi Gong was the son of Yugong, the eleventh grandson of Yan Emperor Shennong. When he was about to be born, King Xiong of the State of Xiong presented him with a Xiulan plant. The Emperor was very pleased, so he gave him the surname Lan and the name Changqi. Later, he was entrusted to Runan. This place was named the county, and the descendant's surname was Fanyan, which was spread all over Yong, Qing, Xu, Jing, Yi, Ji, and You, and spread all over the world. Today's Lan surnames are all descendants of the public." This is where the name of Runan Hall comes from. In many contemporary places, it is customary to confuse the surname LAN with the surname LAN, that is, use the character LAN as a simplified form of the character LAN. In fact, the surname Gu Lan and the surname Lan are completely two surnames in history. The surname Lan comes from the surname Ying and has its own lineage. The surname Lan comes from the surname Ji, a descendant of the Duke of Zheng during the Spring and Autumn Period.
The ancestor who got the surname: Duke Changqi. According to the "Lan Family Genealogy", the Lan family is a descendant of Yan and Huang. The first generation of Changqi Gong was born in the 22nd year of Emperor Ku's reign, that is, 2738 BC. He was named after Xiulan and was enfeoffed as Runan County (Xinzheng, Henan Province). County) Huo Wanggong. The Lan family has prospered over the years, with celebrities from generation to generation, and descendants all over the country and overseas. In the tenth generation, good people helped Xia Yu control floods. He was granted the title of "shepherd" in the capital Anyi. Then he lived in Anyi (Anyi County, Shanxi Province). Later, the Lan family's descendants moved to Shaanxi and lived in seclusion in Chang'an, Longxi County in Gansu, Jingzhou in Huguang, Shangyuan County in Jiangsu, and now Zhuzifang in Nanjing City. Descendants of the Lan family regard Duke Changqi as the ancestor of the Lan surname.
2. Migration Distribution
The surname Lan is not among the top 100 surnames in mainland China, but it is the 66th most common surname in Taiwan. There are no very detailed records of the origin of the Lan surname in ancient books. It first appeared in the Warring States Period. In the third year of King Hui of Liang, Qin Zixiang was granted the title of Lantian (today's Lantian, Shaanxi Province). People called him "Lan Jun". ". It may be that his descendants took the "blue" in the name of the fiefdom as their surname. Ancient books record that there was a doctor Lan Zhu in Zhongshan during the Warring States Period, and his surname was Lan Wang Zhongshan, which may be related to this. However, there are no detailed records in ancient books. The surname Lan is often mistakenly written as "Lan", but the origins of the two are different. The Lan clan has a long clan history. According to the "Lan Family Genealogy" from various places in Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi: "The name of Emperor Yan was Shennong, the ancestor, and it was passed down to Yugong in the eleventh generation. As a concubine, she gave birth to Emperor Ai, Ai gave birth to Emperor Ke, and Ke gave birth to Emperor Yugong, so Yugong should be the fourth biography of Shennong. The original "Lan Pu" recorded Emperor Yugong as the eleventh biography. This is in the line of succession. When he moved to Kongsang (now Qufu County, Shandong Province) and Zhuolu (now Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province), King Xiong paid tribute to a Xiulan plant. When a son was born in the emperor's harem, the emperor was very happy and gave it as a tribute orchid. The surname Lan was given the name Changqi, and he was enfeoffed to Runan, so he made this place a county. "Subsequently, as dynasties changed, descendants were affected by the wars of the past dynasties, or were granted titles to live with them, or they were looking for new ways to survive, and they moved from the north. Moved Fanyan to the south. In the first year of Tianshou of Tang Zhongzong (690), it was passed down to the 108th Mingde Dynasty. He served as the governor of Yangzhou, traveled to Jinling as an official, moved from northern Henan to Jiankang (now Jiangning City, Jiangsu Province), and lived in Zhuzifang, Shangyuan County. He was the first ancestor of Jiangnan Kaiji. In the first year of Baoqing (1225), the first year of Emperor Lizong's reign in the Song Dynasty (1225), Jifu, the 15th generation of Jiangnan (the 122nd generation with the surname), suffered from the rebellion of the Jin people. He abandoned Jurong, Kangkang, and went to Fujian to live in Wufu Township, Fuqing. He was the ancestor of the Lan family who entered Fujian. Most of the Lan clan in Chaoshan, Guangdong Province, moved from Zhangpu during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Yutang of the Lan clan in Zhangpu was founded by Lan Yuanhui, who moved from Jiangxi to the lower end of Tingling Ridge in Zhangpu in the early Ming Dynasty. Lan Yuanhui is posthumously regarded as the third generation ancestor of Zhong Yutang, his ancestor Lan Jiong is the first generation ancestor, and his father Lan Chen is the second generation ancestor.
Lan Yuanhui gave birth to three sons: the eldest son Qingfu (fourth generation) lived in Changkeng (now Chiling) and was the ancestor of the Lan surname in Zhangpu; the second son Qinglu moved to Lanjiao (now Longjiao) and was the ancestor of the Lan surname in Longhai; Zi Qingshou moved to Dapu Heliao (now Huliao), Guangdong, and his branch moved to Lanwu Village, Raoping. According to the Lan clan genealogy record, it actually comes from the creation legend of the She clan. In ancient times, Lan Guanghui, the second son of Panhu, was granted the title of Marquis of the Protectorate and lived in Runan County. The Lan surname is the most common surname of the She ethnic group, which is widely distributed in the mountainous areas of Fujian, Guangdong and Ganxi. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, some of them changed their ethnic names either to avoid the massacre by the Han people or out of respect for the Han culture. This situation lasted for hundreds of years. It was not until the mid-1980s that the Lan surname in Zhangpu, Longhai, and Shanghang in Fujian, Dabu, and Raoping in Guangdong suddenly returned to the She ethnic group, with a total number of tens of thousands. people. The ethnic origin is the same, and more people with the surname Lan scattered around the country and abroad still appear as Han people to this day. There is also a branch of the Lan surname in Chaoshan that was directly moved from Zhangpu by Tie Angong. They first settled in Daya, Chenghai, and then spread to Zhanglin, Hepu, Dahao and other places. The time when the tide enters should be in the early Ming Dynasty, because in the 35th year of Jiajing reign in the Ming Dynasty (1556), the fifteen surnames who lived on the edge of Zhanglin Mountain submitted their household records to Chaozhou Prefecture, requesting to build strongholds and garrison to defend against bandits. Among the fifteen surnames, Lan surname.

For the 2005 continuation of the genealogy, in the new version of the original genealogy, the characters within the "()" were added by speculation after researching the meaning before and after this paragraph. Secondly, the ancient Chinese characters are complicated and The characters are uncommon and have been discontinued, so they are replaced by simplified characters or Tongji characters. Thirdly, because we are now doing computer printing, the character library installed in the computer is limited and it is impossible to print out all ancient and modern Chinese characters one by one, so we use Chinese characters with the same meaning instead.
