The 温 surname
Translated from the Chinese article, which is the one that is edited (read it in Chinese).
Wen (温) is one of the surnames of Taishan; its distant ancestors came from the Ji (姬) surname, as descendants of Tang Shuyu (唐叔虞), son of King Wu of Zhou.[1]
Origin of the surname[edit]
The Wen surname is 321st in the Hundred Family Surnames (《百家姓》); its distant ancestors came from the Ji surname, it is held to descend from Tang Shuyu, and its ancestral commandery is Pingyuan Commandery (平原郡). A common hall name is "Sangong Tang" (三公堂, "Hall of the Three Dukes"), from the three brothers Wen Daya (温大雅), Wen Dalin (温大临; Yanbo, 彦博) and Wen Dayou (温大有) of the early Tang, who were made dukes of a state and dukes of a commandery, and were known at the time as "three dukes from one family" (一门三公).[1]
