Lineage of the 袁 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.

According to the “Taishan County Gazetteer of Local Lore”, the ancestor of the Yuan of Dugang lived at Zhuji Lane in Nanxiong; because the Song king lost a consort, his descendants moved south together with the people of the Five Counties and settled at Dugang, Xinning. He had five sons; the descendants of the four branches of the eldest, Fuxun, the second, Ningxun, the third, Shouxun, and the fourth, Chuangji, live in Datang, Niulu, Dugang, Chonglou, Shuangshi Village in Haiyan, and other places in Taishan, and the descendants of the fifth son, Chuangye, live in Xinhui city and Yangjiang.[1][2][edit]

The Yuan of Fu'an Village, Taishan (Runan Hall)[3][edit]

台山福安村袁氏(汝南堂)

Fulian Village in Dugang, also called Fu'an Village, founded in the 15th year of Qianlong of the Qing, the year xinwei, that is 1751 CE

独岗福连村,又名福安村,始建于清乾隆十五年,岁次辛未,即公元一七五一年

The “Yuan Family Genealogy of Taishan, Guangdong”, typed in from the family genealogy by Yuan Yingqi, a clan member overseas, takes Yuan An of the Later Han as its founding ancestor and records the line down to the 18th-generation ancestor Yuan Zhijun (who served as Grain Intendant of Guangdong, was then promoted to Provincial Administration Commissioner of Guangdong, and on retiring registered his household at Wentang, Dongguan, Guangzhou Prefecture). Yuan Yingqi notes: the Yuan of Guangdong should begin with Zhijun Gong; from An Gong to Zhijun Gong there are 38 generations, but the genealogy records only 18, so 20 generations have been lost in between; there may also be a break between the 4th- and 6th-generation ancestors; in the Song dynasty, Chuangji Gong was given by imperial patent the title of Regional Inspector (cishi) of Zhejiang. Another clansman replied that the Yuan of Fu'an Village, Taishan, are also descendants of Zhijun Gong of Chayuan, Wentang. In the website's section “Founding Ancestors of the Yuan Everywhere”, the “Taishan, Guangdong” column lists “Yuan Run Weng”.
