1. Origin of the surname
The surname Tán has two origins:
1. It comes from the surname Zi. According to "Xingyuan", after the ancient Zhou Dynasty was established by King Wu of Zhou Dynasty, in memory of the merits of the ancestors and kings, Wei Ziqi, the eldest son of Yin Emperor Yi, was granted the title of Tan Kingdom in the Song Dynasty, also known as Tan Kingdom. It is passed down to Tan Jun in the thirty-sixth generation, who was destroyed by the Chu State. His descendants took Tan as their surname, and passed down the surname Tan.
2. It comes from Jitan, and its descendants include Jishi and Tanshi. According to "Xingyuan", there was a doctor named Ji Tan in the Zhou Dynasty, and his descendants were divided into Ji clan and Tan clan. By the end of the Qin Dynasty, in order to avoid the name taboo in Xiang Ji, some family members also changed their surname to Tan. In history, there is a theory that Tan changed his name to Tan to avoid revenge.
2. Migration Distribution
The surname Tan is not among the top 100 surnames in both mainland China and Taiwan. The distant ancestors began in the Warring States Period. Wei Ziqi, the eldest son of Shang Emperor Yi, was the elder brother of King Zhou of Shang. He saw that King Zhou was very unethical and tried to persuade him many times. King Zhou was very angry, but he could not kill his brother, so he Don't listen to advice. Wei Ziqi had no choice but to take away all the tablets of the ancestors of the Shang Dynasty, left King Zhou of Shang, and defected to King Wu of Zhou. This is the famous story of "Wei Zi goes to Yin". After King Wu of Zhou conquered the Shang Dynasty, Wei Ziqi Qi received favorable treatment. He was granted the title of Duke by King Wu of Zhou in the Song Dynasty. One of the descendants, Tan Jun, was granted the title of Tan Yi during the Warring States Period and established the Tan State. People called him "Tan Jun". His descendants took "Tan" as their surname. Therefore, the surname Tan originated from the surname of the royal family of the Shang Dynasty, the surname Zi. The surname Tan later developed into a prominent family in Liangguo County, and was known as Liang Guowang in the world. According to the "Wuxi Tan Family Genealogy", the Tan family in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province settled in Wuxi from Kaifeng, Henan, and lived in Xiaolou Lane for more than eight centuries.
