People named Tao are both glorious and lucky, because they have two surnames, one is Yu Shun. This kind of honor is innate and really enviable.

Regarding the origin of Tao's surname, the surname code says: "The surname is unknown." I'm Zhou, and I'm Tao. "Tao Tang is the Emperor Yao, and Yuhuan is the descendant of Shun.

Emperor Yao is familiar to everyone, but why do you call him Tao Downs? There is a reason for this.

According to historians, Yao is the second son and the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor. It was left intact in "Tao" and later moved to "Tang", so it was praised as Tang people. As for "Yao", it is his name, which was used by his subjects when he was born, not his surname. So later, some of Yao's descendants took Tao Wei's surname, and some took surnamed tang.

According to the textual research of Shuowen, Yao's original place is now Dingtao County, Shandong Province. Later, Tang moved to Tangxian County, which is now Hebei Province, so this Tao surname from Diyao should have originated from these two places at first.

Yu Shun's descendants are also surnamed Tao because one of his descendants, Yu Huang, became an official of Zheng Tao in the Zhou Dynasty. The so-called "Zheng Tao" refers to the officials in charge of politics. Later, the descendants of Yu Huang took Guan as their surname and all changed their surnames to Tao.

As for the descendants of Shun who took Yu as their surname, it was because after Shun abdicated to Yu, his son was sealed in Yu's "Yu", and the descendants also took the country as their surname according to the custom at that time, so they took Yu as their surname. At that time, the location of the dangerous place was now Yucheng County, Henan Province. Therefore, Tao's surname, which originated from Yu Shun, should also be traced back to Yucheng County.

According to the above analysis, the surname of Tao in the world can be traced back to Yao and Shun more than 4300 years ago. In terms of bloodline, we can also know that our ancestors originally came from Dingtao, Shandong Province, Tangxian County, Hebei Province and Yucheng County, Henan Province, and everything is very clear.

In addition, according to the record of surname examination, Tao's reproduction was late, and he was a famous family in Danyang and Xunyang. Danyang, located in the south of Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province today, has been the county magistrate since Tianbao period of Tang Dynasty. Xunyang is now Jiujiang County, Jiangxi Province.

In history, there are many celebrities named Tao. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, a Ying Tao person was included in the story of a shrew.

Tao Yuanming, a famous poet, whose poem "Picking chrysanthemums under the hedge, leisurely seeing Nanshan" has been told for thousands of years. Another book, Peach Blossom Garden, has also been listed as a required reading for students in past dynasties. His story of "five buckets of rice don't bend over" has been recited as a beautiful talk through the ages and regarded as the motto of people with lofty ideals and benevolence by later generations.
