But among all those reported, there was no report by the surname of Si ( 姒) recorded after the period of Xia Yu ( 夏 禹). But as early as the period of Qian Long ( 乾 隆), large number of Tan clans was moving from Lu Feng ( 陆 丰), Dong Guan ( 东 莞) in Guangdong, to Xin Zhu ( 新 竹), Miao Su (苗 粟), Hua Lian ( 花 莲) and Gao Xiong ( 高 雄) in Taiwan.
These Tan descendants have been there for over 180 years, with a population of more than 1,000 people. The List of names drafted by the Tans, Tan Hong Yang Tang Ethnic Book ( 谭 弘 阳 堂 族 谱) is also as old.
Even according to the Zheng Qiao Tong Ethnic ( 郑 樵 通 志 氏 族) history record: Si ( 姒 氏), the surname of Bo Gun ( 伯 鲧). King Yao ( 尧) awarded Gun to be Chong Bo ( 崇 伯), whereas his son Yu was awarded by Shun ( 舜) to be the King of Xia ( 夏) until Jie ( 杰).
However, the history of Tan was started in the Zhou Dynasty as recorded by the well-known scholar quoting the Odes included Tan Gong Wei Si ( 谭 公 维 私). In his citation, Zhu Zi Er Ya ( 朱 字 尔 雅) stated: The husband of sisters called Si, because at that time Tan Gong was staying with the Zhuang Jiang (庄 姜) Sisters.
The Odes Xiao Ya Da Tong ( 小 雅 大 东) then wrote a poem for Tan Master. Basing on the above facts, our Tan was lightly to have some connections with the Palace in the Zhou Dynasty. In addition, because Xia Yu continued until Jie then only he was destroyed.
After that, it did not prosper. Years have passed by. It will be difficult to get back what was left behind. The Ten Thousand Year Entire List was prepared by Ling Di Zhi ( 凌 迪 知) . Su Ping Zhong of Ming when summarized the family of Tan did not mention where was the location of the Tan.
However, our Tan ancestors, when preparing the Tan Ethnic Group List included the Ming Scholar Tan Yu Rui who corrected the Cha Ling Tan Family Chart by Li Dong Yang, the Ming Palace official Zhang Le Magistrate Tan Nan Chong ( 谭 南 昌), Senior official of Ming Gao Ming Cang ( 高 明 仓) also went through the list.
Most of the lists corrected mentioned where the lists of Tan groups were from. Therefore, when compared the two, it was obvious that the List prepared by Su Ping Zhong was not realistic, when it was mentioned that the original surname of Tan was Si ( 姒), a descendant of Xia Yu. It is unbelievable.
Secondly, (5) After Peng Hu, it was mentioned that “We were a big family 500 years ago”, we are not very concerned about what he wrote. But he was quite serious. He later used the Chun Qiu style to write: Another explanation was very unrealistic when he mentioned that Peng Hu was the founder of Southern Barbarian Man Yi (蛮 夷), his personal background was full of legendry.
According to the Jin Record ( 晋 记): Wu Ling Zhang Sha Lu Jiang Jun Yi ( 武 陵 长 沙 庐 江 郡 夷) all appeared after Peng Hu. They all lived together in the five rivers.
It is to be noted that such speculation was baseless. However, we would just listen with what is written down. In general, the reports as what were stated in (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) above with special emphasis and with proofs by each of them, but (1), (2), (4) and (5) have yet to have on-the-spot investigation and relics by archaeological studies as evidence.
Otherwise, these cannot be taken as confirmation. Item (3) said “that the ancestors of Tan and Shang ( 商) have the similar surname, surname Zi, the old Kingdom of Shang”. This had been proven with the exploration of Cheng Zi Ya ( 城 子 崖) which confirmed with solid relics as proofs, that the Big Events List of Chun Qiu ( 春 秋 大 事 表) by Gu Dong Gao ( 顾 栋 高) listing the surnames of viscounts in the various Kingdoms as well as the existence and destruction list which recorded Tan as with surname Zi.
On the source of surname it can be taken as acceptable to clarify various other records. Such confirmation of the facts had made our Tan Ethnic group feel proud and happy.
