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 Cao chapter of "Origins of Taishan's Surnames", written from the Cao genealogies kept in Chaole Village, Yangtian Village, Long'an Village and Caohou Village and other materials, holds that the Taishan Cao are of the Cao clan founded by Zhenduo, thirteenth son of King Wen of Zhou, belong to the line of Cao Zixun Gong, and originated in Runing Prefecture, Henan. In the time of Emperor Ningzong of Song, Cao Ruduan moved from Zhuji Lane, Nanxiong, and settled in Lidong, Kaiping; his grandson Wenfu moved from Kaiping to Guanghai, Taishan, in the Song and became the founding ancestor of the Cao of Taishan, and his descendants live in Guanghai, Duanfen, Wencun, Doushan, Shangchuan and other places. The Cao living in Taishan include both the Wenfu Gong line and the Wenbing Gong line, the great majority being of the Wenfu Gong line.[1][2][edit]

《台山姓氏源流》曹氏篇据潮乐村、洋田村、龙安村、曹厚村保存的曹氏族谱等材料编写，认为台山曹姓是周文王第十三子振铎所创的曹氏，属曹子循公系，源于河南汝宁府。宋宁宗时，曹汝端由南雄珠玑巷迁到开平丽峒定居；其孙文福于宋代从开平移居台山广海，成为台山曹姓始祖，后裔分居广海、端芬、汶村、斗山、上川等地。居住台山的曹姓既有文福公系，也有文炳公系，以文福公系占绝大多数。

The "Cao Genealogy" kept by Cao Diguang of Yangtian Village, Guanghai, calls him a descendant of Zhenduo, son of King Wen of Zhou. His descendants built the "Ancestral Hall of the Worthy Cao" on Bingzheng Street by the Little South Gate of Guangzhou; in the 20th year of Qianlong of the Qing (1755 CE) its rebuilding was proposed, and Wenfu, Yuanliang, Nanping, Jisheng, Ruduan, Shouyu, Shourong and Chaohui of Taishan County together donated 176 taels; the hall was completed and opened in the fifth month of the jiawu year of Qianlong (May 1774 CE). The hall's couplet makes clear that Cao Zixun was the founding ancestor of the Cao clans of Lingnan. The Cao of the Zixun Gong line in Guangdong Province took turns in charge of the hall in 8 groups, among them the "Taishan-Kaiping Fang"; they agreed on a common sequence of generation names: Zu De Ting Yu, Wen Zhang Xing Da, Chang Mao Si Kun, Hui Di Xi Qi.

Where they live[edit]

Below is the distribution of the Wenfu Gong line according to the figures of a 1979 survey. Since 1979 many of the rural population have moved to towns; from Nazhang Management Area, Guanghai Town, alone, more than 20 households, more than 100 people, of Cao descendants have moved to Taicheng Town to settle. By an incomplete count, in 1997 the Cao households of all Taishan City numbered about 1,100 or more, with more than 5,000 people; the great majority of the households and people are of the Wenfu Gong line, and there is also the Wenbing Gong line.[1][2]

以下为据1979年调查资料统计的文福公系分布。1979年以来不少农村人口迁往城镇，单是广海镇那章管理区的曹氏后裔迁到台城镇定居的就有20多户100多人。据不完全统计，1997年全台山市曹姓住户约有1100多户，人口在5000人以上；文福公系的户数、人数占绝大多数，也有文炳公系。
