The 蒋 surname
Translated from the Chinese article, which is the one that is edited (read it in Chinese).
Jiang (蒋) is one of the surnames of Taishan. The Jiang surname is generally held to come from the Ji (姬) surname, with Boling (伯龄), a son of Dan, the Duke of Zhou (周公旦), as its founding ancestor.[1] No reliable written sources have yet been found on the first migrant ancestor of the Jiang of Taishan or how they came.
Origin of the surname[edit]
Boling, the fourth son of Dan, the Duke of Zhou, was enfeoffed with the state of Jiang (蒋国); later Jiang was destroyed by the state of Chu, and his descendants took the name of the state as their surname and were called the Jiang. In addition, the Jiangjia (蒋佳氏) clan of the Eight Banners of the Qing, and people among several minority peoples, also changed their surname to Jiang. The ancestral commandery of the Jiang is Le'an (乐安).[1] The origins section of the Wikipedia article cites no sources.
