The surname of hundreds of families is pronounced fáng.

The Fang surname was ranked 170th in the Song version of "Hundred Family Surnames". In the national surname statistics compiled by the state in conjunction with the census in the 1980s, the Fang surname was ranked 199th. However, because the Fang family originated from Yao, the leader of the Five Emperors, it has been passed down for thousands of years with a clear direction. Among its descendants, Fang Xuanling, the prime minister who founded the Tang Dynasty and is listed in the annals of history, is one of the "Top Ten Wise Prime Ministers in China". It has always been a famous family in history.

The Fang surname was born about 4300-4700 years ago, originating from the Qi surname, from the Tao Tang family, a descendant of Yao, and named after the country. Yao's sons began to be enfeoffed in Danshui. Yao did not hand over the throne to Danzhu to inherit, but abdicated the throne to Shun, who had made great achievements. This was the beginning of the abdication system and the beginning of the "public world".
