The 鲍 surname
Translated from the Chinese article, which is the one that is edited (read it in Chinese).
Bao (鲍) is one of the Chinese surnames; it is 62nd in the Hundred Family Surnames (《百家姓》) and originates from the Si (姒) surname, descending from Yu of Xia (夏禹).[1]
Origin of the surname[edit]
According to the Yuanhe Compendium of Surnames (《元和姓纂》) and the Comprehensive Treatises: Treatise on Clans and Lineages (《通志·氏族略》), in the Spring and Autumn period Jingshu (敬叔), a prince of the state of Qi (杞; founded by descendants of Yu of Xia), took office in the state of Qi (齐) and was granted Bao (鲍; around today's Licheng District, Jinan, Shandong) as his fief; his descendants took Bao as their clan name and were for generations senior ministers of Qi. In the Northern Wei the Xianbei Silifa (俟力伐) clan also changed to the Han surname Bao. Its ancestral commanderies include Shangdang (上党), Donghai (东海), Taishan Commandery (泰山) and Henan (河南).[1]
Coming to Taishan[edit]
How the Bao came to Taishan and where they live is yet to be added. Family members who know more are welcome to edit this article.
