Lineage Edit · History

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 Ma descend from the Zhao, and honor as their earliest ancestor Zhao She, who was made Lord of Mafu in the Warring States period. In the early Song (1127 to 1130 CE), Zhibei Gong, a Grand Master for Proper Service, crossed south with Emperor Gaozong of Song from Lin'an, Zhejiang, into Guangdong and settled at Gugang (today Xinhui); he was the first to found the Ma clan in Lingnan. Kangping, 8th-generation ancestor of the Lingnan Ma, and his adopted son Tianbo moved from Mayuan, Xinhui, to Madong, Baisha, in the Yongle period of the Ming; the 8th-generation ancestor Kangding moved from Xialang, Mayuan, Xinhui, to Hengshan. According to surveys in 1995 and 1997, the Taishan Ma live in 17 towns and 147 natural villages, with nearly 50,000 people residing in the city.[1][edit]

马氏源于赵氏，奉战国时受封马服君的赵奢为鼻祖。宋初（公元1127年至1130年），奉政大夫直北公随宋高宗由浙江临安南渡入粤，定居古冈（今新会），为岭南马氏开族第一人。岭南马氏八世祖康平与继子田波于明朝永乐年间由新会麻园迁居白沙马洞，八世祖康定由新会麻园下朗迁居横山。据1995年、1997年的调查，台山马氏分居17个镇、147条自然村，常驻市内人口近5万人。

The line in detail

Zhao She Lord of Mafu Earliest ancestor of the Ma[1][2][edit]

赵奢 马服君 马氏的鼻祖

For his illustrious military merits, made Lord of Mafu by King Wuling of Zhao (another account says King Huiwen of Zhao)

因战功赫赫，被赵武灵王（一说赵惠文王）赐封为马服君

Warring States period

战国时期

The Ma descend from the Zhao; the Ma surname began when Zhao She was made Lord of Mafu. Fufeng is the birthplace of the Ma.

马氏源于赵氏；自赵奢受封马服君，始有马姓。扶风为马氏的发祥地。

Sources differ: Smart Taishan (2018), citing a Ma genealogy, says Zhao She was a son of King Wuling of Zhao and was made Lord of Mafu for defeating the Qin army in 270 BCE; it also says his grandson Zhao Xing took his grandfather's title as his surname, changing it to "Mafu", and later dropped "fu" to have the single surname "Ma".

智慧台山（2018）引马氏族谱，称赵奢为赵武灵王之子，公元前270年破秦军立功被封为马服君；又称其孙赵兴以祖父封号为姓，改姓「马服」，后省去「服」，单姓「马」。

Source text (Chinese)

马氏世族一本相承源于赵氏 [1]

战国时期的赵奢，因其战功赫赫，被赵武灵王（一说赵惠文王）赐封为马服君，从此，中华民族的大家庭中出现了马的姓氏 [1]

马服君是我国马氏的鼻祖，“扶风”是我国马氏的发祥地 [1]

根据马氏族谱记载，战国时期，赵武灵王之子赵奢，为赵国名将，公元前270年破秦军立功被封为马服君 [2]

其孙赵兴因伯父赵括在长平战役被秦军战败，便以赵括为耻，以祖父赵奢为荣，就以祖父封号为姓，改姓“马服”，后省去“服”，单姓“马” [2]

1st-generation ancestor Zhibei Founding ancestor of the Lingnan Ma[1][2][edit]

始世祖 直北 岭南马氏始祖

Grand Master for Proper Service

奉政大夫

Crossed south into Guangdong in the early Song (1127 to 1130 CE)

宋初（公元1127年至1130年）南渡入粤

Crossed south with Emperor Gaozong of Song (Zhao Gou) from Lin'an, Zhejiang, into Guangdong and settled at Gugang (today the North Gate of Huicheng Town, Xinhui City); the place where the family first lived is called Jinzi Street (today in front of the People's Hall in Huicheng Town, Xinhui City)

随宋高宗赵构由浙江临安南渡入粤，定居古冈（即今新会市会城镇北门）；祖居地称金紫街（今新会市会城镇人民大会堂前）

The source calls him the first to found the Ma clan in Lingnan. Because the 2nd-generation ancestor Chiguo and the 3rd-generation ancestor Xiji were twice granted the Jinzi honor by the court, the place where the family first lived is called Jinzi Street, and Ma families across Lingnan and overseas name their halls "Jinzi Tang". Eight generations on, his descendants were found all over Huicheng and Dongting in Xinhui, Mayuan in Gaosha, Chaolian, Jiangmen, Baisha and Hengshan in Taishan, Panyu, Conghua, Sihui, Shunde, Guangzhou, Zhongshan and other places.

原文称其为岭南马氏开族第一人。因二世祖持国、三世祖唏骥朝廷二封金紫，祖居地称金紫街，岭南各地及海外马氏立堂用「金紫堂」之名。宗传八代后，裔孙遍及新会会城和东亭、江门潮莲高沙麻园、台山白沙和横山、番禺、从化、四会、顺德、广州、中山等地。

Sources differ: Smart Taishan (2018) says Zhibei Gong's family had long lived in Kaifeng, Henan, and that after following Emperor Gaozong of Song to Lin'an, Zhejiang, he crossed south to Dongting and Jinzi Street in Gugangzhou (today Xinhui); the table of descent, however, records that it was only the 5th-generation ancestor Liangbi who moved from Jinzi Street in the city of Xinhui to Dongtingli, Xinhui.

智慧台山（2018）称直北公世居河南开封，随宋高宗到浙江临安后，南渡来到古冈州（今新会）的东亭和金紫街；宗传表则记五世祖良弼方由新会城金紫街迁居新会东亭里。

Moved away to: Gugang (today Huicheng, Xinhui) 古冈（今新会会城）

Source text (Chinese)

宋初（公元1127年至1130年），奉政大夫直北马公随宋高宗赵构由浙江临安南渡入粤，定居古冈（即今新会市会城镇北门） [1]

直北马公实为我岭南马氏开族第一人 [1]

从岭南马氏始祖直北公宗传八代至台山马氏的直系血缘是：始世祖直北 [1]

朝庭二封金紫（二世祖持国公与三世祖唏骥公受封），故直北马公祖居地称为金紫街（今新会市会城镇人民大会堂前） [1]

现岭南各地马氏及海外马氏聚居地立堂朝拜先祖用“金紫堂”这一名称就是这个缘故 [1]

直北马公宗传八代后，其裔孙已遍及新会的会城和东亭、江门市的潮莲和高沙及麻园、台山的白沙和横山、番禺的谢村和植村、从化的马村、四会的高要、顺德的水藤、广州市的河南、中山的古镇等地 [1]

南宋时期，世居河南开封的直北公，随宋高宗到浙江临安后，再南渡来到古冈州（今新会）的东亭和金紫街，这就是马氏金紫一系之宗，也是广东马氏的鼻祖 [2]

五世祖 良弼 由新会城金紫街迁居新会东亭里 [1]

    Yongle period of the Ming (about 1410 CE)

    明朝永乐年间（约公元1410年左右）

    With his adopted son Tianbo, moved from Mayuan, Xinhui, to Madong, Baisha

    与继子田波由新会麻园迁居白沙马洞

    Had no son; Tuan (named Tianbo), the second son of his elder cousin Kangcheng, became his heir.

    无子，由堂兄康成次子湍（名为田波）承继。

    Sources differ: Smart Taishan (2018) says that in about the Hongwu period of the Ming the 8th-generation ancestor Kangping Gong moved from Xinhui (Waihai, Jiangmen) to Madong, Xinning (today Madong, Baisha, Taishan); this text has the Yongle period of the Ming, and a move from Mayuan, Xinhui. Also, while the source says "the 8th-generation ancestor Kangping had no son", its sentence on the direct line reads "the 7th-generation ancestor Xunshan passed down to the 8th-generation ancestor Kangping, and to the 9th-generation ancestors Yaozuo, Junzuo and Dizuo"; see the entry for Yaozuo, Junzuo and Dizuo.

    智慧台山（2018）称约明洪武年间，八世祖康平公自新会（江门外海）迁居新宁马洞（今台山白沙马洞）；本文作明朝永乐年间、由新会麻园迁居。又，原文既称「八世祖康平无子」，直系血缘一句却作「七世祖循善传八世祖康平至九世祖尧佐和君佐及帝佐」，见尧佐、君佐、帝佐条。

      九世祖 尧佐、君佐、帝佐

      Lived at Haochong, Hengshan

      居横山濠冲

      Sources differ: The source's sentence on the direct line reads "the 7th-generation ancestor Xunshan passed down to the 8th-generation ancestor Kangping, and to the 9th-generation ancestors Yaozuo, Junzuo and Dizuo (who lived at Haochong, Hengshan)"; but the same text also says the 8th-generation ancestor Kangping had no son and was succeeded by Tianbo, and that the 8th-generation ancestor Kangding had three sons and moved from Xialang, Mayuan, Xinhui, to Hengshan, and the table of descent also records Kangding moving to Haochong, Hengshan. Whether the three descend from Kangping or from Kangding, the source is inconsistent. The table's 9th-generation column has Dizuo, Juzuo and Yaozuo ("Junzuo" written "Juzuo").

      原文直系血缘一句作「七世祖循善传八世祖康平至九世祖尧佐和君佐及帝佐（居横山濠冲）」；但同文又称八世祖康平无子，以田波承继，又称八世祖康定生三子，由新会麻园下朗迁居横山，宗传表亦记康定迁入横山濠冲。三人出于康平抑或康定，原文前后不一。宗传表九世祖一栏作帝佐、居佐、尧佐（「君佐」作「居佐」）。

Admiring the fine, lofty hills of Madong, he gathered blessings that brought prosperity to those after him, and greatly strengthened the line. He had six sons: the eldest Yuyin, the second Qiaoyin, the third Gengyin, the fourth Muyin, the fifth Lianyin and the sixth Zhiyin.

    由新会麻园下朗迁居横山（宗传表：从江门下朗麻园迁入台山横山濠冲）

    Had three sons. Because living conditions there were harsh, and with the harassment of the warfare at the end of the Song and the beginning of the Yuan, most of Kangding's descendants moved to Chaozhou, Shantou and Xinhui. The table of descent lists him in the 8th-generation column beside Kangping, with only Xingxun in the 6th-generation column above; the source does not say who his father was.

    生三子。因当地生活环境恶劣，加上宋末元初的兵乱骚扰，康定后裔大部份迁居潮州、汕头和新会。宗传表列于八世祖一栏，与康平并列，其上六世祖只有行逊一人；原文未言其父为何人。

Where they live[edit]

The appended "Table of the Taishan Ma Branches by Town" was surveyed and verified in December 1997: in all 17 towns, 40 management areas and 147 natural villages; the families are most concentrated in the towns of Baisha, Sanhe, Sijiu, Hengshan, Wencun and others, with nearly 50,000 people residing in the city. The management areas and natural villages of each town below are copied line by line from the original table. Also, according to Smart Taishan (2018), more than 80 percent of the Taishan Ma come from Baisha, and in Baisha the Ma live mainly in the village committees of Xiatun, Yangling, Baisha Xu and others.[1][2][3]
