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.

According to the Haiyan Town Government website, Wu Xiuyun of Tongheng Village, Haiyan, served as a prefecture-level official of the Southern Song; when the Yuan troops invaded Guangdong he fled back to his home village to live in seclusion, and he carved two poems at the West Cliff at the mouth of Baifan Pass, a spot that later also came to be called “Wu Gong Cliff”.[1][edit]

A native of Tongheng Village, Haiyan (Chen Risheng's article has “a native of Tongheng Village, Shalan, Haiyan, Taishan”); when the Yuan troops invaded he gave up his office and fled back home to live in seclusion

海宴通亨村人（陈日生文作“台山海宴沙栏通亨村人”）；元兵入侵时弃官逃回家乡隐居

He often visited the West Cliff at the mouth of Baifan Pass and carved two poems there, “Song of the West Cliff” and “Poem of the West Cliff”; the spot later also came to be called “Wu Gong Cliff”.

常游白饭迳口西岩，刻下《西岩行》《西岩诗》两首诗，这个地方后来也称“巫公岩”。

Sources differ: When he returned home: Chen Risheng's article says that Yuan troops took Lin'an in the second year of Deyou of the Southern Song (1276), and that it was “in this very year” that Wu Xiuyun gave up his office and fled home to live in seclusion; the Haiyan Town Government web page, after the Yuan army's capture of Lin'an in the second year of Deyou, says he fled back to his home village to live in seclusion “when the Yuan troops invaded Guangdong”.

何时回乡：陈日生文说南宋德祐二年（1276）元兵攻陷临安，巫岫云“就是在这一年”弃官逃回家乡隐居；海宴镇政府网页在德祐二年元军攻陷临安之后，说他是“元兵入侵广东时”逃回故乡隐居。

《西岩行》、《西岩诗》为岫云书镌 [1]

岫云即巫岫云，字正得，海宴通亨村人，曾任南宋州级官吏。南宋德祐二年（1276年），元军攻陷临安，恭帝投降。元兵入侵广东时，巫岫云逃回故乡隐居，常游白饭迳口西岩，刻下这两首诗。以后，这个地方也被称为“巫公岩”。 [1]

史载宋恭帝(赵显)德枯二年，亦即端宗景炎一年(1276)，元兵攻陷了南宋京都临安(杭州)。台山海宴沙栏通亨村人巫岫云就是在这一年弃官逃回家乡隐居的。 [2]
