Taishan surnames › The 刘 surname

Lineage of the 刘 families of Taishan

Lineage Edit · History

Translated from the Chinese, each part followed by its Chinese original. Places in Taishan are given with their pinyin; the sources’ own words (Source text) are in Chinese.

Compiled from the sources listed at the end. Every generation and every branch gives its source, and “Source text” shows the source’s own sentences; one that gives none is marked “no source”. Where a source says generations are lost or unknown, a dashed line marks the gap; where sources disagree, both are given.

The Liu come from the Qi surname and are descendants of Emperor Yao; Yao's ninth son Yuanming was enfeoffed at Liu and took the name of his fief as his surname. In the 1st year of Kaixi of the Song, the three sons of Qinglian Gong of Zhujili, Niutian Village, Shixing County, namely Jun, Zhaoxiong and Shating, migrated south with Ancestor Luo Gui and others; Zhaoxiong settled at Li'ao in Xinning (Taishan), and this is the beginning of the Liu surname's line in Taishan; Jun settled at Guanqiao Village, Hengtou, Wenzhang du, Xinhui, and his descendant Shihua settled at Hengshui bao, Wenzhang du, Xinning, while the descendants of Shixing and Shizu also moved into various places in Taishan one after another; the Dongshan line of Guanghai, according to the Dongshan genealogy, descends from Juhai, fifth son of Guangchuan Gong.[1][2][edit]

刘氏源出祁姓,乃帝尧之后,尧第九子源明受封于刘,即以邑为姓。宋开禧元年,居始兴县牛田村珠矶里的清廉公三子俊、兆熊、沙亭随罗贵祖等南迁,兆熊入居新宁(台山)里坳,是为台山刘姓源流之始;俊定居新会文章都亨头官桥村,其后人世华定居新宁文章都横水堡,世兴、世祖的子孙也先后迁入台山各地;广海东山一支,据东山族谱是广传公五子巨海的子孙。

18th generation Liu Lei[1][edit]

十八世 刘累

Raised dragons for the Xia; granted the surname Yulong

为夏养龙,赐姓为御龙氏

When one of the four dragons he was raising died, he fled for fear of punishment and hid his name; his descendants were the Shiwei clan under the Shang and the Tangdu clan under the Zhou.

因四条龙养死一条而惧罪潜逃,隐讳名氏;其后至商为豕韦氏,在周则为唐杜氏。

Shi Wei[1][2][edit]

士蒍

Took the name of his office as his clan name and so became the Shi clan.

以官名为氏,遂为士氏。

Sources differ: Both versions read “Xishu's son Shi Gu took the name of his office as his clan name and so became the Shi clan”, and the next sentence reads “Shi Wei's grandson Shi Hui” (the book version writes Wei with a different character); the original text does not say whether Shi Gu and Shi Wei are the same man; here, following the sense of the text, they are taken as one man, under the name in the next sentence.

两本均作「隰叔之子士毂以官名为氏,遂为士氏」,下句作「士蒍之孙士会」(书本作「士为之孙」);原文未言士毂与士蒍是否一人,此处依文义合为一人,名从下句。

Shi Hui[1][edit]

士会

Fled to the state of Qin; some years later returned to serve in Jin, receiving first the fief of Sui and later the fief of Fan

出走秦国,数年后复回晋国任职,先得封邑于随,后得封邑于范

His descendants in Jin divided into three lines, the Shi, the Sui and the Fan; his descendants who stayed in Qin took back the surname Liu, and after many twists and turns their descendants reached the state of Wei and moved to Feng Township, Pei County (anciently part of Pengcheng, now in Jiangsu Province).

其在晋国的后代分为士氏、随氏、范氏三支;留在秦国的子孙复姓刘,其后代几经曲折到了魏国,徙居沛县丰乡(古属彭城,今属江苏省)。

原文称其为光武帝第十三代孙。传位给刘禅。

Sources differ: The original text calls Liu Bei a 13th-generation descendant of Emperor Guangwu; the Wikipedia article “Liu Bei”, however, says that the “Records of the Three Kingdoms” records Liu Bei as a descendant of Liu Zhen, son of Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, the ninth son of Emperor Jing of Han, and that the “Dianlue”, quoted in Pei Songzhi's “Annotations to the Records of the Three Kingdoms”, records Liu Bei as “of a branch of the Marquis of Linyi”.

原文称刘备为光武帝第十三代孙;维基百科「刘备」条则称:《三国志》记载刘备是汉景帝第九子中山靖王刘胜之子刘贞的后代,裴松之《三国志注》所引《典略》记载刘备为「临邑侯枝属」。

Sources differ: The original text says Guangchuan Gong died loyally at his post because of a matter with Wen Tianxiang, while his great-grandsons Jun, Zhaoxiong and Shating migrated south in the 1st year of Kaixi of the Song (Chen Risheng's article, quoting the Liu genealogy, notes it as 1205); the dates do not fit together.

    • Zhaoxiong Shaoxiong; art name Canfu The beginning of the Liu surname's line in Taishan[1][4][edit]

      兆熊 少雄,号参甫 台山刘姓源流之始

      Migrated south on the 16th day of the third month of the 1st year of Kaixi of the Song

      宋开禧元年三月十六日南迁

      Because of the Consort Hu disaster, fearing to be implicated, migrated south with Ancestor Luo Gui and others, ninety-seven people; the three brothers went together to Daguan Bridge outside the west gate of Guangzhou and parted there, and Zhaoxiong settled at Li'ao, Xinning (Taishan)

      因胡妃之祸,深怕牵连,随罗贵祖等九十七人南迁;兄弟三人同到广州西门外达观桥分袂,兆熊入居新宁(台山)里坳

      After this sentence the original text records the generation names: Da Ming Tai Hui Yu Zhong Tian, Zhong Dao Chong Ru Xian Zun Xian. You Ri Ke Qi Han Ye Zhen, Fu Gui Rong Hua Shi Xiang Chuan. Besides Li'ao, his descendants have branches at Baihutou, Baishi, Wushi, Chonglou, Guanghai, Doushan and Kengkou, living together with kinsmen of other lines of the same clan.

      原文于此句后记班派:大明泰会遇中天,重道崇儒显尊贤。有日克其汉业振,富贵荣华世相传。子孙除里坳之外,又分支白虎头、白石、五十、冲蒌、广海、斗山和坑口,与同宗别支兄弟合居。

      Sources differ: Chen Risheng's article in the same book quotes this Liu genealogy's account and holds that fleeing the Consort Hu disaster and the southward migration of Luo Gui and the others, 97 households of 33 surnames, are two separate events of different years: Consort Hu actually left the palace in the 8th year of Xianchun of Emperor Duzong of Song (1272), so a migration to escape the Consort Hu disaster would have been in the 9th year of Xianchun (1273), while the migration of Luo Gui and the other 97 households took place in the 1st year of Kaixi (1205) or, earlier, in the 1st year of Shaoxing (1131); earlier compilers mixed the two together when compiling their genealogies. Also, this text has “with Ancestor Luo Gui and others, ninety-seven people”, while the Liu genealogy quoted in Chen Risheng's article has “with Ancestor Luo Gui and others, 97 households”.

      同书陈日生文引此刘氏谱之说,认为避胡妃之难与罗贵等97户33姓的南迁是不同年代的两回事:胡妃实于宋度宗咸淳八年(1272)出宫,因避胡妃之祸而南迁应在咸淳九年(1273);罗贵等97户南迁则是开禧元年(1205)或更早的绍兴元年(1131)的事,是前人修谱时混在一起。又,本文作「随罗贵祖等九十七人」,陈日生文所引刘氏谱作「随罗贵祖等97户」。

      因胡妃之祸,深怕牵连,乃随罗贵祖等九十七人于宋开禧元年三月十六日南迁。刘俊兄弟三人同到广州西门外达观桥分袂,各择居地 [1]

      兆熊入居新宁(台山)里坳,是为台山刘姓源流之始。其班派是:“大明泰会遇中天,重道崇儒显尊贤。有日克其汉业振,富贵荣华世相传。” [1]

      刘兆熊的子孙除里坳之外,又分支白虎头、白石、五十、冲蒌、广海、斗山和坑口与同宗别支兄弟合居,共同发展 [1]

      主要的村庄在大江的里坳,水步的横水、坑口;附城的横湖、白虎头 [1]

      我们发现避胡妃之难与97户33姓的南迁,其实是发生于不同年代的两回事 [4]

      是前人在修谱时不加细察,而把它们混淆在一起了 [4]

      乃随罗贵祖等97户于宋开禧元年(1205)三月十六日南迁 [4]

      胡妃实于宋度宗咸淳八年(1272)出宫 [4]

      应发生在度宗咸淳九年(1273) [4]

      所谓“罗贵等97户33姓集体南迁。”则是宋宁宗开禧元年(1205)或更早些的高宗绍兴元年(1131)的事 [4]

  • Juhai[1][edit]

    巨海

    Fifth son of Guangchuan Gong. According to the Dongshan genealogy, the Liu of Dongshan Village, Chongpang Village and Nankuang Village in Guanghai are his descendants; the original text calls this a branch from a distant ancestor.

    广传公五子。据东山族谱,广海东山村、冲旁村、南圹村刘氏是其子孙,原文称之为远祖分支。

    Sources differ: The original text says: according to the Dongshan genealogy they are descendants of Juhai, fifth son of Guangchuan Gong; another account says they are descendants of Fu Weng, a descendant of Liu Jun; this very much awaits research.

    原文称:据东山族谱说是广传公五公子巨海的子孙,一说是刘俊裔孙富翁子孙,极待研考。

    文耸

    At the end of the Southern Song

    南宋末年

    Originally lived at Zhujili, Niutian, Shixing, Nanxiong; at the end of the Southern Song, when the Yuan armies swept south in force, he fled south as a youth with the refugees to Xinhui

    原居南雄始兴牛田珠矶里;南宋末年元兵大举南下,年少随难民南逃至新会

    Uprooted and separated from his family, he was fortunately taken in by a family surnamed Zou and raised to adulthood, hence the later saying, “The Liu must not be lost; the Zou must not be forgotten.”

    流离失散,幸得邹姓人收养而至成人,故后来有「刘不可失,邹不可忘」之说。

    Moved away to: Xinhui 新会
