Taishan surnames › The 钟 surname
Lineage of the 钟 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.
There are Zhong families in both Daxiang Village and Dingfeng Village of the Tiantou Village Committee, Chixi Town; the villagers of both villages are Hakka. According to the village records of Chixi Town, the Zhong ancestors came one after another from various parts of Xinning County to settle, after the Zeng and after the Wu respectively; Daxiang Village has a Zhong family ancestral hall. The article "Huang" quotes "An Overview of Taishan Past and Present" as saying that the ancestors of the Chixi Hakka moved into Xinning in the Yongzheng and Qianlong reigns of the Qing from the counties under Huizhou, Chaozhou and Jiaying.[1][2][3][edit]
