How many people in the country are called Tan?

There are 50,000 people named Tan in China. With a population of about 50,000, Tan is a rare surname. According to the latest statistics, the population ranks 5 15. The latest distribution of Tan's population in various provinces and cities mainly comes from three sources. At the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Su Fensheng and Tan Boda, ministers of the King of Wu, were sealed in Hanoi, and there was a surname of Tan. The second is from the style of Chiang Kai-shek, taking the city name as the surname.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, some people in Qi Huangong ate in Tancheng, and their descendants took Tan as their surname. Third, the ancient Xianbei surname is Tan in Fujian, Hebei, Anhui, Hainan, Zhejiang, Beijing and Hubei. Tan's ancestor was Tan Mande, who entered Fujian in the eighteenth year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty. His native place is Yongtai Wenzao, and his descendants are distributed all over Fujian.

The origin of Tan Shi

According to ancient records, Tan surname of Han nationality comes from three aspects. Zuo Zhuan was published for eleven years. In the past, Zhou ordered the governors to caress, and Su Fen was born as a scholar, and he and Tan Boda were sealed in Huaixian County, the ancient land of Zhihe. It is located in the southwest of Wuzhi County, Henan Province. The second argument comes from Tongzhi Genealogy in the Southern Song Dynasty, which holds that Tan calls himself Tan because he lives in Tancheng, Lu.

There is a defective mountain in Qi Huangong called Tancheng, because he thought it was his surname. At the same time, he pointed out that the defect hill was in Lu, not Qi, so he guessed that either Qi Huangong went to Lu or a third party thought it was a descendant. Feng's story and his story in Tang Dynasty were performed in 73 1 in the 19th year of Tang Kaiyuan.

The ancestral hall of Taigong was established. After Taigong, Master Lu of Jingzhao recorded 48 surnames including Chiang Kai-shek, and carved stones to remember them. However, the statement that Tan is a descendant is not supported by other historical materials.
