Taishan surnames › The 谢 surname
Lineage of the 谢 families of Taishan
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 “Supplemented Records of Dongshan” in two juan, compiled by Xie Jingqing in the Qing dynasty (a block-printed edition of the 21st year of Guangxu of the Qing, that is 1895, in two volumes), gives a brief account of the Xie family through the ages; the genealogy catalog records Taishan County, Guangdong Province, and other places as where the family lives scattered, and it honors Shen Bo of the Zhou as the progenitor of the surname. Among the ancestral halls of Xiadong Village in Shuibu Town is the Shanchang Xie Gong Ancestral Hall of Cishe Village.[1][2][3][edit]
