Lineage of the 郑 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 Qianlong-era "Preface to the Zheng Sinong Genealogy" (as quoted in "Song-Dynasty Migrants from Zhuji Lane and the Development of Agriculture in the Pearl River Delta"), Rongmao, second son of Zheng Xia, moved to Zhuji Lane in the 1st year of Xining (1068), and Qinglian, third son and head of the third branch of Zhanlu Gong of the 6th generation, founded the settlement at Youcun Village, Haiyan, Xinning; the "Taishan County Gazetteer of Local Lore" also lists the Zheng of Youcun Village, Haiyan, among the families that moved from Zhuji Lane in Nanxiong into Taishan. Lejia Village, under the Jing'an Village Committee of Guanghai Town, has a Zheng Western-style house (yanglou) of the 6th year of the Republic of China (1917), which was included in the 2024 public notice of registered sites of immovable cultural relics of Taishan.^[1][2][3][edit]
