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.

Qian (art name Hongyi), the first ancestor in Guangdong, moved from Qianzhou in Jiangxi to Zhuji Lane in Nanxiong in the Qiande period of the Great Song. At the end of the Song, Chao'an of the 4th generation fled the turmoil with Minister Luo Gui and moved to Zhuji Lane in Nanxiong; because of the affair of the Song emperor's lost consort he fled south to Guangzhou. He had three sons, Da, Yuan and Kui: Da moved to Longkuang in Kaiping and later to Baishui in Taishan; Yuan moved to Bailongchi in Xinhui, later to Duanfen in Taishan, and then to Xiaodan in Haiyan, becoming the founding ancestor of the Tan of Haiyan; Kui moved to Yashao in Yangjiang. Maoyi, a descendant of Yilie of Da Weng's fourth branch, moved from Yandong Village to Haochongxu in Xinning, becoming the first ancestor to settle in Taishan; Tianlin of the 12th generation is the founding ancestor of the Tan of Taicheng.[1][2][edit]

The line in detail

Ruler of Tan[1][edit]

谭君

Ruler of the state of Tan

谭国国君

A descendant of King Wen of Zhou was enfeoffed at Tan (northeast of today's Longshan Town, Jinan City, Shandong Province) and founded the state of Tan. In 684 BCE Duke Huan of Qi sent troops and destroyed Tan; the ruler of Tan fled to the state of Ju (today's Ju County, Shandong), and his descendants took the name of the state as their surname and were called the Tan.

周文王的一个后裔受封于谭（今山东省济南市龙山镇东北），建立谭国。公元前684年齐桓公派兵灭谭，谭君逃到莒国（今山东莒县），其后人以国为姓，称作谭氏。

Source text (Chinese)

周文王的一个后裔，受封于“谭”（即现在山东省济南市龙山镇东北）这个地方，建立了一个诸侯国：谭国 [1]

齐桓公即位的时候，谭国没有派遣使者去祝贺，引起齐桓公的不满 [1]

于公元前684年派兵把谭国灭了。谭君逃到莒国（现在山东莒县）去，他的后人就“以国为姓”，称作谭氏 [1]

Chief Supervising Secretary for Personnel under the Great Tang

Sources differ: The original says the distant ancestor Guo served Qi as Grand Historian in the time of the Eastern Zhou states, and that "it passed down to the 16th generation (that is, the Tang dynasty)"; but from the Eastern Zhou to the Tang is far too long a time for sixteen generations.

Sources differ: His name: this article mostly writes "Hongyi", but the sentence "lived on the old site of the Hongzhi Gong Tan Gong Ancestral Hall in Jiucang Lane" writes "Hongzhi"; the "Taishan County Gazetteer of Local Lore" and the "Tan Genealogy" of Changsha, Kaiping, appended to it both write "Hongzhi". First ancestor in Guangdong: this article makes Qian the first ancestor in Guangdong, moving from Qianzhou to Zhuji Lane in Nanxiong in the Qiande period; the "Taishan County Gazetteer of Local Lore" says, "The founding ancestor Hongzhi fled the turmoil at the end of the Tang and the beginning of the Song to Shashui Village at Zhuji Lane and later returned to Qianzhou; his grandson Bocang thus became the first ancestor in Guangdong."

    Sources differ: The original says his grandfather Qian Weng was Grand Master for Assisting Governance and Vice Minister of Personnel in the Jianlong period of the Song and came to Guangdong in the Qiande period of the Great Song, while Bocang passed as jinshi in the Qiandao period of the Song: the dates of grandfather and grandson do not fit. The "Taishan County Gazetteer of Local Lore" says Bocang "thus became the first ancestor in Guangdong", while this article makes his grandfather Qian the first ancestor in Guangdong.

    • The Tan of Jiucang Lane[1][3][4][edit]

      旧仓巷的谭氏

      Jiucang Lane, Yangcheng (Guangzhou)

      羊城旧仓巷

      Huang Renfu's article, following the "Taishan County Gazetteer of Local Lore", lists "the Tan of Jiucang Lane" among those who migrated from Zhuji Lane in Nanxiong into Taishan. The gazetteer's own text: the founding ancestor Hongzhi fled the turmoil at the end of the Tang and the beginning of the Song to Shashui Village at Zhuji Lane, and later returned to Qianzhou; his grandson Bocang thus became the first ancestor in Guangdong and moved to Yangcheng (Guangzhou); "within the lane of the Hongzhi Hall, four buildings in a row, with side halls on both sides, divided into several two-story study rooms, where scholars of the clan branches of the four townships stayed when they came for the examinations"; the plaque of the hall read "Bangyan Hall", inscribed in the 13th year of Tongzhi by Tan Zongjun of Nanhai, the bangyan (second-place palace graduate); on the door was a carved wooden couplet, "The ancestral line descends from Jiangyou; the clan's branches spread across Lingnan". Hongzhi had two sons, Hong and Han; Han had Bocang; Bocang moved to Pingshanli in Renhua and had Chao'an, who moved to Jiucang Lane. The "Tan Genealogy" of Changsha, Kaiping, says that Chao'an, with Ancestor Luo Gui, fled south to Yangcheng (Guangzhou) because of the affair of the Song's lost consort and lived in Jiucang Lane, on what is now the site of the Hongzhi Hall.

      黄仁夫文称「旧仓巷的谭氏」由南雄珠玑巷迁徙至台山境内；而《台山县乡土志》原文说伯仓「迁羊城」、朝安「迁旧仓巷」，开平长沙《谭氏族谱》说朝安「南走羊城，居旧仓巷」，「谭氏」一文也说虔翁祠在广州城隍庙后街旧仓巷口——旧仓巷在羊城（广州）。

        原由阳江雅韶迁来

        The "Taishan County Gazetteer of Local Lore" says Kui Weng moved to Yashao in Yangjiang and his line spread across the Two Yangs; there are also some at Shapu in Haiyan, Ximen in Wencun, and Cangding, who originally came from Yashao.

        《台山县乡土志》称逵翁迁阳江雅韶，分布两阳，海宴之沙浦、汶村西门、仓定也有，原由雅韶迁来。

  • 23rd generation Yougong[1][5][edit]

    廿三世 友恭

    Also of the 23rd generation was Youshan. The Yougong Tan Gong Ancestral Hall was built at Yuanshanzai in Fucheng Town; it is the Changfan School (according to a 2015 report, built in the 16th year of the Republic (1927)). He had five sons, of whom Yanrao had two sons (25th generation); they live apart at Yuanshanzai, Chaosheng, Chaoyang, Chao'an, Zhangbian and other places.

    同为廿三世者有友山。附城镇元山仔建有友恭谭公祠，即昌蕃学校（据2015年报道，建于民国十六年（1927年））。生五子，其中延饶生二子（廿五世），分居元山仔、潮盛、潮阳、潮安、张边等。

    Sources differ: A 2015 report in the "Southern Metropolis Daily" says instead that the 17th-generation ancestor of the Tan founded Chaosheng Village in rough form in the 17th year of Guangxu of the Qing (1891), and his sons and grandsons laid it out to a plan in the 4th year of the Republic, building the three natural villages of Chaosheng, Chaoyang and Chao'an and the Changfan School; this counts the generations differently from the government website's Yougong of the 23rd generation and the 25th generation living apart at Chaosheng and elsewhere, and it is not known whether they mean the same branch.

    2015年《南方都市报》报道另称，谭氏十七世祖于清光绪十七年（1891）创建潮盛村刍型，由他的儿孙于民国四年规划，建成潮盛、潮阳、潮安三条自然村、昌蕃学校；与政府网所记廿三世友恭、廿五世分居潮盛等，世次所计不同，未知是否同指一支。

  • 12th generation Tianlin Founding ancestor of the Tan of Taicheng[1][5][edit]

    十二世 天麟 台城谭氏始祖

    Lived at Baishui

    居白水

    Had four sons: Derui, Dechang, Dechao and Deqiong. His descendants set up the "Tianlin Tan Gong Ancestral Hall" at Longcangli in Taicheng (today's Huancheng West Road) to make offerings to him. Generation-name couplet: Er Chang You Yan Si, Jie Kai Wen Yi Guang, Zong Chuan Shi Ze Yuan; Jin Ben Li Dao Long, Ji Shan Jia Guo Zhong, Xue Ye Guang Cheng Fang (counting Tianlin as the 1st generation and adding the generation name one bears, one knows which generation one is; counting Hongyi as the 1st generation, the generation names down to the 12th generation are unknown).

    生四子：德瑞、德常、德超、德琼。后人在台城龙藏里（今环城西路）立“天麟谭公祠”奉祀。字派联：尔昌友延嗣，捷开文裔光，宗传世泽远；晋本立道隆，积善家国重，学业广成芳（以天麟为第一世，加上本身所属字派，便知自身属第几代；以宏轶为第一世计，至十二世的字派不详）。

    Sources differ: The government website says "Tianlin lived at Baishui"; a 2015 report in the "Southern Metropolis Daily" says Tianlin Gong came to Taicheng more than 600 years ago and settled at the Hebei village committee in the north of the town, from where his line spread to the surrounding villages.

    政府网说“天麟居白水”；2015年《南方都市报》报道称天麟公600多年前迁入台城，定居于城北河北村委会，从那里起源，分散到周边村落。
