Lineage of the 梅 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 Mei of Taishan have lived in Duanfen for generations, now more than twenty-four or twenty-five generations. The founding ancestor, Mei Yongqing (taboo name Mei, courtesy name Yucun), had his ancestral home in Fengyang County, Fengyang Prefecture, north of the Yangtze, and later moved to Zhuji Lane in Nanxiong; in the 4th year of Hongwu of the Ming (1371) he was ordered by imperial decree to garrison Xinhui County, toured Duanfen on inspection, and built a hut and lived with his wife, née Yang, at the foot of Fengshan (present-day Chikan Village). His son Yanming stayed in Duanfen and had four branches, Yanfu, Yanshou, Yanchang and Yanling; the principal heirs of the four families still lived in Chikan, while the other sons each set up a village of their own; Duanfen thus became the main home of the Mei of Guangdong.^[1]^[2][edit]

台山梅氏世居端芬，已越二十四五传。始祖梅永清（讳美，字玉存），原籍江北凤阳府凤阳县，后徙至南雄珠玑巷；明洪武四年（1371年）奉旨镇守新会县，巡视端芬，与夫人杨氏在凤山脚下（今赤坎村）结庐而居。其子彦明留居端芬，生延福、延寿、延昌、延龄四房，四家嫡子仍居赤坎，支子各置一乡；端芬遂成为广东梅氏的主要聚居地。

The line in detail

Mei Bo^[1][edit]

梅伯

Ruler of one of the Shang dynasty's vassal states of the royal surname; enfeoffed at Mei

商朝同姓诸侯之国主，封于梅

Mei Bo's state was 20 li south of Haozhou (present-day Meichengji, Hao County, Anhui)

梅伯之国在毫州南20里处（今安徽毫县梅城集）

Mei comes from the Zi surname, the clan name of the royal house of the Shang dynasty. The younger brother of Taiding (Taiding was the son of Wuyi) was enfeoffed at Mei and called Mei Bo; this was the beginning of the Mei surname. Seeing that Shouxin (King Zhou) was without principle, he remonstrated forthrightly again and again and was killed by King Zhou; his descendants then took the name of the state as their surname.

梅出于子姓，子姓是商朝王族之族号。太丁之弟（太丁为武乙之子），封于梅，人称梅伯，是为梅姓之始。见受辛（纣）无道，屡次直谏，为纣所杀；子孙乃以国为姓。

Source text (Chinese)

梅，是中华古姓。三伉姓注：“梅出于子姓。”子姓是商朝王族之族号 [1]

武乙崩，子太丁继位。太丁有弟，封于梅，人称梅伯，是为梅姓之始 [1]

梅伯之国，在毫州南20里处（今安徽毫县梅城集） [1]

是时，年事已高的梅伯为商朝同姓诸侯之国主，见受辛无道，群目为纣，乃屡次直谏，纣竟怒而杀之。梅伯“子孙乃以国为姓” [1]

Mei Xuan Remote ancestor^[1]^[3]^[4][edit]

梅鋗远祖

The "Genealogy of the Mei of Duanfen, Xinning" takes him as its remote ancestor.

《新宁端芬梅氏族谱》以其为远祖。

Sources differ: Period: the genealogy's catalog entry gives "end of the Zhou"; the people section of the article gives "Mei Xuan of the Han dynasty, Vice Minister of Revenue, Marquis of Tai".

时代：家谱著录作「周末」；文章人物部分作「汉朝梅鋗，户部侍郎、台候」。

descendant

Yongqing taboo name Mei, courtesy name Yucun Founding ancestor^[1]^[3]^[4]^[5][edit]

永清讳美，字玉存始祖

A jinshi (palace graduate); served as Commissioner of Guangzhou Prefecture; in the 4th year of Hongwu of the Ming (1371) ordered by imperial decree to garrison Xinhui County

进士出身，仕广州府经略；明洪武四年（1371年）奉旨镇守新会县

Ancestral home: the Tenth Li of Fengyang County, Fengyang Prefecture (present-day Anhui Province), north of the Yangtze; later moved to Zhuji Lane, Nanxiong County, Guangdong Province; after touring Duanfen on inspection, built a hut and lived with his wife, née Yang, at the foot of Fengshan (present-day Chikan Village)

原籍江北凤阳府（今安徽省）凤阳县第十里，后徙至广东省南雄县珠玑巷；巡视端芬后，与夫人杨氏在凤山脚下（今赤坎村）结庐而居

In the Ningyang school temple his spirit tablet is inscribed "Yongqing Gong"; "Yongqing" was a style he took from his office. He was later ordered back to the capital, leaving behind only his hair and teeth; his teeth were later buried at Shuangjian Peak in Shangze, and the place was therefore named Yashan. He had two sons: Yanliang moved away and registered his household at Pozitou Township, Yangchun County, and Yanming stayed in Duanfen. The catalog entry for the "Genealogy of the Mei of Duanfen, Xinning" also records Mei Shengyou and Mei Shengfa (Song) as first migrant ancestors of the Jiusi Hall, living at Longshan, Nanhai.

宁阳学宫书永清公神主，「永清」因官而号。后奉命回京师，只留鬓发牙齿，后葬其牙于上泽双尖峰，此地遂以牙山得名。生二子：彦良迁去阳春县坡子头乡落籍，彦明留居端芬。《新宁端芬梅氏族谱》的著录另记有九思堂始迁祖（宋）梅胜佑、梅胜法，居南海龙山。

Sources differ: Where he went: the article says he was later ordered back to the capital; another tradition says he fled back to Shunde to escape danger and died at Longshan in old age. Names and period: the article gives taboo name Mei, courtesy name Yucun, serving as Commissioner of Guangzhou Prefecture; the Yunjiapu genealogy website's catalog entry for the "Mei Clan Genealogy of Duanfen, Taishan" compiled by Mei Mingkui gives "(Ming) Mei Mei, courtesy name Yongqing, art name Yuquan"; the "Genealogy of the Mei of Duanfen, Xinning" gives "(between the Yuan and the Ming) Mei Mei, courtesy name Yucun, art name Yongqing"; another catalog entry calls him "Mei Jingli", with his ancestral home "Fengyang County, Fengyang Prefecture, Jiangnan".

去向：文章称后奉命回京师，另传避难回顺德，晚年殁于龙山。名号与时代：文章作讳美、字玉存，仕广州府经略；云家谱网著录梅命夔编《台山端芬梅族家谱》作「(明) 梅美，字永清，号玉泉」，《新宁端芬梅氏族谱》作「(元明之际) 梅美，字玉存，号永清」，另一条著录称他「梅经历」，原籍「江南凤阳府凤阳县」。

Settled: 赤坎村 Chikan Village

察广东台山之梅氏，世居端芬。越廿四、五传。始祖梅永清（讳美，字玉存），进士出身，仕广州府经略（宁阳学宫书永清公神主，因官而号），原籍江北凤阳府（今安徽省）凤阳县第十里。后因世道变迁而徙至岭南——广东省南雄县珠玑巷 [1]

至明洪武四年（1371年）寇变，梅永清奉旨镇守新会县。一日，他入新宁（归新会县所辖），路经狮子头山及广海，再从广海驾舟渡过三峡海口，巡视端芬环州朗至海阳水域 [1]

之后，梅永清乃披荆冒露，与夫人杨氏在凤山脚下（今赤坎村）结庐而居，繁衍后代。后奉命回京师（另传避难回顺德，晚年殁于龙山），只留鬓发牙齿收而藏之，后葬其牙在上泽双尖峰蛇形丑山未向，此地遂以牙山得名 [1]

生二子：彦良、彦明。彦良迁去阳春县坡子头乡落籍，彦明留居端芬 [1]

四家之嫡子皆仍居赤坎村旧址（今山底管理区） [1]

梅氏子孙除分布今端芬镇山底、山后、锦江、六乡、海阳、西头、南阳七个管理区64条自然村 [1]

十一世命夔
Juren (provincial graduate) of the 5th year of Kangxi (1666); served as magistrate of Xingui
康熙五年（1666年）举人，任新贵令
Styled himself "a scholar carrying on the family". Wrote the "Genealogy of the Mei of Duanfen" (recording only up to the 5th generation) and set the generation names for the Mei descendants from the 11th generation on: Yuan Xi De Rui, Yuan Yao Nai Zong, You Gong Zhong Liang, Wan Fu You Tong; from the 11th-generation "Yuan" names on, the Mei of Duanfen have been named by these generation characters. Later generations drew up a further sequence: Chong Li Shang Ren, Ke Sheng Zu Wu, Kai Ji Chuang Ye, Yi Jue Sun Mou.
以「学士承家」自居。撰《端芬梅氏族谱》（仅记到五世），拟出十一世以后梅氏后裔的班派：元锡德瑞，远耀迺宗，友恭忠良，万福攸同；自十一世「元」字辈起，端芬梅氏依此字辈命名。后人拟再续班派：崇礼尚仁，克绳祖武，开基创业，贻厥孙谋。
