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 Zhao of Taishan all belong to the line of Emperor Taizong of Song, and have three great main lines: the Fushi Zhao, the Haiyan Zhao and the Tianchou Zhao. Zongyuan Gong, founding ancestor of the Fushi Zhao, came to Fushi in the 13th year of Hongwu of the Ming (1380); Chonggai Gong, founding ancestor of the Haiyan Zhao, founded the village and the clan at Fuchang Village (today's Haiyanjie) early in the Yuan; Zhongbao Gong, founder of the Tianchou Zhao clan, was the 14th-generation descendant of Yuanfen, fourth son of Emperor Taizong of Song.[1][2]

The catalogue entry for the "Baoben Hall Zhao Genealogy" records him as the ancestor who received the surname.

宋嘉定十六年（1223年癸未）蒋重珍榜进士，官任奉直大夫，吉安府卢陵将领
Founded the village and the clan early in the Yuan
元初立村开族
As the Southern Song was about to fall, left the royal court at Hangzhou and went to Fuzhou; from Nanxiong went down to Guangzhou, took a roundabout way through Enping to Yangjiang, and from Yangjiang went upstream to Hezai, Beigui and Doumen; then crossed the sea from Doumen to Dadan, went on up to Nayong, and finally founded the village and the clan at Fuchang Village (today's Haiyanjie)
南宋将亡，离开杭州的王室，到福州，由南雄而下广州，绕道恩平而到阳江，由阳江而溯河仔、北桂、陡门，又由陡门渡海至大担，再上那雍，后到附场村（即今海宴街）立村开族
His courtesy name Sanzhou commemorates the three places where he stayed in his life: Hangzhou, Fuzhou and Guangzhou; he built the Sanzhou Study on Caolang Street in Taicheng. Thirty-three households of four surnames, Chen, Huang, Ma and Fei, had already settled at Fuchang Village before him. The "Taishan County Gazetteer of Local Lore" lists the Zhao of Haiyanjie among those who moved from Zhuji Lane in Nanxiong into Taishan, and says that the Zhao of Haiyanjie "honor Chonggai of the 9th generation as their great ancestor"; it says that he left the Song house, went down from Nanxiong and took a roundabout way through Enping to Yangjiang to escape notice, "in gold, silver and treasure, and in knowledge and learning, a cut above other men", buying land all along the way but unwilling to stay, until he found Haiyanjie and judged it a place where he could found a clan; the village was then called Fuchang. Father of Bixin, Bibing (no descendants), Biqin (no descendants) and Biliu; Biliu was the father of Chouping, founding ancestor of the Yangjiang branch. His forebears are not recorded in the government web article or the "Taishan County Gazetteer of Local Lore"; in the Prince of Han branch (descendants of Yuanzuo, eldest son of Taizong) of the "History of Song: Genealogical Tables of the Imperial Clan" there is a Chonggai, son of Ruyu, whose sons were Bixin and Biliu, Bixin's sons being Liangwu and Lianglin, the same names as this clan hands down; counting down from Yuanzuo, Chonggai is exactly the 9th generation, which agrees with the "9th-generation Chonggai" of the "Taishan County Gazetteer of Local Lore", and on this basis his forebears are joined on here.
字三州，纪念他一生驻足在杭州、福州、广州三个地方；他在台城草朗街建有三州书室。附场村原已有陈、黄、马、费四姓三十三户先行定居。《台山县乡土志》列海宴街的赵氏为由南雄珠玑巷迁徙至台山境内者，并称海宴街赵氏「奉九世崇垓为太祖」，说他离开宋室，由南雄下绕道恩平至阳江，避人耳目，「金银财宝，智识学问，超人一等」，一路买田，不肯立足，寻得海宴街，认为可以开族，当时该村地名附场。生必锌、必炳（无传）、必钦（无传）、必鎏；必鎏生畴平，为阳江房始祖。其上世，政府网文和《台山县乡土志》未载；《宋史·宗室世系表》汉王房（太宗长子元佐之后）有崇垓，为汝敔之子，其子必鋅、必鎏，必鋅之子良霧、良霖，与本族所传之名相同；自元佐数下，崇垓正是第九世，与《台山县乡土志》「九世崇垓」相合，今据以接上其上世。

The village has the Angfu Zhao Gong Ancestral Hall, called the founding ancestor's hall, with the hall name Baode; it and the Baoben Hall of Longxi Village are kin as brothers, born of the wife and of a concubine. The Zhao clan later founded Dongcheng Village to the east and Xijiu Village (later renamed Longtang Village, and from 1907 extended to Huangmaodun) to the west, and then Dongxi Village.

Some generations after Zhongbao moved to Tianchou, the line came down to Buxiao Gong. He had five sons: Bishan, Bixi, Bizhuang (later moved to Xinhui), Bixuan and Bihuan (later moved to Guanghai); two of them became xiucai, the family's standing rose, and the clan grew stronger by the day. "Origins of Taishan's Surnames" has "Bushao"; the genealogies have "Buxiao" (for example the "Tianchou Zhao Angfu Lineage Genealogy").

Second son of Chongding; 10th-generation descendant of Emperor Taizong of Song. Jinshi of the 4th year of Baoyou (1256), in the list headed by Wen Tianxiang. Because he was the second son, he was called "Cigong" (the second gong), and later generations mistakenly handed down his name as "Bici"; research by the Xialu clansmen from July 2006 to December 2008 confirmed that Bitang was the first ancestor in Guangdong of both the Xialu and the Fushi branches, and that Bitang was the father of Liangqian and Liangcong; the two villages issued a joint statement confirming that Yuanfen through Bitang were the ten direct ancestors of both branches (website of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, 2015). Baidu Baike records that this statement was issued in December 2009, and restored Yuanfen, not Yuanzuo, as the first-generation ancestor of the line; the catalogue entry for the old genealogy, the "Fushi Zhao Genealogy", records its ancestral forebear as Zhao Yuanzuo and its first ancestor in Guangdong as Zhao Bici, and the sources' original texts also write "Bici". At the end of the Southern Song, when the Yuan troops pressed in and Lu Xiufu leapt into the sea at Yamen with the Southern Song emperor on his back, dying for his country, he too leapt into the sea and died; before his death he entrusted his two young orphaned sons, Liangqian and Liangcong, to Lin Xuanfu Gong (prefect of Qiongzhou under the Song) to bring up; to escape harm from the Yuan they took the surname Lin and were named Danu and Ernu. His descendants divided into two lines, Fushi and Xialu.
崇濎次子，宋太宗十世孙。宝祐四年（1256年）文天祥榜进士。因排行第二，有「次公」之称，后世误传其名为「必次」；霞路宗亲2006年7月至2008年12月考证，确认必樘是霞路、浮石两房的入广始祖，必樘与良钤、良骢是父子；两村联合声明，确认元份至必樘是两房的十位直亲祖宗（国务院侨办网站，2015年）。百度百科记此声明发表于2009年12月，恢复始立派一世祖为元份而非元佐——旧谱《浮石赵氏族谱》著录宗祖为赵元佐、广东始祖为赵必次，各资料原文也作「必次」。南宋末元兵侵逼，陆秀夫背南宋帝在崖门投海殉国，他也投海殉难；殉难前，将二幼孤良钤、良聪托林玄辅公（宋琼州知州）扶养，为避元祸托用林姓，名为大奴、二奴。后代分为浮石、霞路两支。

Took leave of his father and his younger brother and, with his mother née Li in his care, and with his wife née Liu and his young child, moved from Muzhou, Xinhui, to Shimiao Village (Zhaocun, Xinhui); in the 11th year of Hongwu of the Ming (1378, a wuwu year) arrived at Zhonglou, where he and a young man surnamed Ni built a hut and broke land in the west of Chonglou; later he gave the fields he had cleared to Ni, and went east to Duhu and south to Tiantou, finding neither to his liking; in the 13th year of Hongwu he came to the foot of Fei'e Ridge at Fushi and built a hut to live in on the southern slope of Danao Peak

The catalogue entry for the "Fushi Zhao Genealogy" records him as the ancestor at Fushi, Xinning.

Descendants of Zongyuan Gong also moved to Sijiu, Chonglou and other places and founded clans there.

Zhao of Tabian, Xiachuan[15]
下川塔边赵氏
According to research, a group of remnant subjects of the Southern Song followed the Southern Song imperial house in its retreat to Xiachuan Island, and afterwards settled at Tabian Village
据考证，当年有一批南宋遗民跟随南宋皇室撤退到下川岛，随后在塔边村定居
Zhao is the most common surname in the Tabian Village Committee. According to research, the Zhao islanders are descendants of the Southern Song imperial clan, and so Tabian Village is called the Imperial Clan Village.
塔边村委会赵姓最多。据考证，赵姓岛民就是南宋的皇族后裔，因而塔边村被称为皇族村。

Where they live
The Zhao of Taishan have three great main lines: the Fushi Zhao, the Haiyan Zhao and the Tianchou Zhao. Population: for Fushi, from the count made when the altar was opened for the last jiao ceremony at Fushi, in 1948; for the descendants of Chonggai Gong in Haiyan, from an incomplete count made before 1992; the others are figures from the time of writing.[1]
