Taishan surnames › The 邓 surname
Lineage of the 邓 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.
According to the "Deng Genealogy", the Deng were originally of the Ji surname; the sixteenth son of King Wen of Chu was enfeoffed with the state of Deng, and his descendants later took the name of the state as their surname. The genealogy honors Deng Yu, Marquis of Gaomi under the Han, as its grand high ancestor, and settles on Jingyuan Gong (Deng Tao) of the Song as the founding ancestor of the Deng of Guangdong. The second-generation ancestor Yingfu moved in 1272 CE from Zhuji Lane in Nanxiong to Gugang Prefecture (today's Xinhui); the descendants of the third generation's Ji Zu of the eldest branch, Lun Zu of the fifth branch and Liang Zu of the ninth branch moved into Chonglou and Doushan in Taishan. The Deng have been established in Taishan for more than 600 years.[1][edit]
据《邓氏族谱》，邓氏本姓姬，楚文王第十六子封于邓国，后以国为姓；族谱奉汉高密侯邓禹为太高祖，断以宋朝经源公（邓焘）为广东邓氏之始祖。二世祖英甫于公元1272年由南雄珠玑巷徙至古冈州（今新会），其三世长房玑祖、五房仑祖、九房谅祖的后裔迁入台山冲蒌、斗山。邓氏在台山开族600多年。

The line in detail
Sixteenth son of King Wen of Chu[1][2][edit]
楚文王第十六子
Enfeoffed with the state of Deng
封于邓国
According to the "Deng Genealogy", the Deng were originally of the Ji surname and began with the state of Wu Liman, Marquis Mi of Deng, in the Yin dynasty; in the Spring and Autumn period there was a Marquis Wu Li; later Chu annexed the state, and the sixteenth son of King Wen of Chu was enfeoffed with the state of Deng, and his descendants later took the name of the state as their surname.
据《邓氏族谱》，邓氏本姓姬，始于殷朝邓密侯吴离曼之国；春秋时有侯吴离，后楚并之，楚文王第十六子封于邓国，后以国为姓。
Sources differ: Wikipedia says the Deng surname comes from the ancient state of Deng, descended from the Zi surname and granted the surname Man, enfeoffed by Wu Ding of the Shang; after Deng was destroyed by Chu in the Spring and Autumn period, its descendants took the name of the state as their surname. The genealogy, by contrast, says the Deng were originally of the Ji surname and took the name of the state as their surname after the sixteenth son of King Wen of Chu was enfeoffed with Deng.
维基百科称邓姓源于古代邓国，出自子姓，赐姓曼姓，为商朝武丁所封，春秋时邓国为楚国所灭之后，其国后人以国名为姓；族谱则称邓氏本姓姬，由楚文王第十六子封于邓国后以国为姓。

The generations are too remote and the branches scattered like stars; they cannot be known in detail[1][edit]
世数之遥远，支派星列，不能详悉
The genealogy says the forebears of the Deng are many generations remote and their branches scattered like stars, so they cannot be known in detail; consulting the genealogies of the great ancestral halls from the Tang through the Song, it settles on Jingyuan Gong as the founding ancestor of the Deng of Guangdong.
