1. Origin of the surname

There are five sources of Deng (Dèng):

1. From the surname Zi (the ancestor of the Shang clan was named Zi) or Man surname. According to the "Compilation of Yuanhe Surnames", Wu Ding, Emperor Gaozong of the Shang Dynasty, granted his uncle Manji the title of Marquis of Man in Mancheng of Deng State (the old city is in today's Dengzhou, Henan Province), and was called the Man family. The Man family was later renamed. In the state of Deng (this state of Deng is located in the southwest of Meng County, Henan Province today), he was named Marquis of Deng. It lasted for more than 600 years through the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the State of Deng was an important feudal state with different surnames in the south of the Zhou Dynasty. However, it was destroyed by the State of Chu in 678 BC because it was an enemy of Chu. In order to commemorate their homeland, the descendants of Marquis Deng changed their surname to Deng one after another, and the surname Deng was called Zhengzong in history.

2. During the time of the Yellow Emperor, there was the Deng Bowen Kingdom, which was earlier than the Yin and Deng Dynasties.

3. Comes from the surname Si (the ancestor of Xia, Dayu, was named Si). According to "History of the Road", it is said that the descendants of Emperor Zhongkang of the Xia Dynasty were granted the title of Deng State (today's Dengzhou area of ??Henan Province). The descendants of Deng County took the country as their surname and were called the Deng family.

4. From Li. According to the "Preface to the Genealogy of the Deng Family in Anhua", Li Congyi, the eighth son of Li Yu, the later lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, was named King Deng. In 975 AD, after the Northern Song Dynasty destroyed the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty ordered the arrest of the Southern Tang clan. Li Congyi's son Tianhe fled and was named the surname after his father. Later, his descendants were called the Deng family.

5. Ethnic minorities changed their surnames. For example, the Qiang people had the surname Deng during the Jin Dynasty. The Deng clan, chieftain of Qingyuan Prefecture in Guangxi Province during the Qing Dynasty, began in the Ming Dynasty. The Ledang clan of the Yao ethnic group had the Han surname Deng. Manchu, Zhuang, Mongolian, Hani, Miao, Tujia and other ethnic groups also had this surname. .

The ancestor of the surname: Wu Ding. That is, the surname Deng comes from the surname Zi or Man. During the Shang Dynasty, King Wuding of Yin granted his uncle Manji the title of Marquis in Mancheng, Deng State. Later, Manji established the Deng State, and people called him Marquis of Deng. The Deng State lasted for more than 600 years through the Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn Period, and the Western Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the State of Deng was one of the more important vassal states in the south of the Zhou Dynasty. Later, because of its enemy with the State of Chu, in the sixteenth year of Duke Zhuang of Lu (i.e. 678 BC), or in the seventh year of Duke Huan of Lu (i.e. 705 BC) Year), was destroyed by Chu. In order to commemorate their homeland, the descendants of Deng Hou took the country's name as their surname. Later generations respected Wu Ding as the ancestor of Deng surname.

2. Migration distribution

Today’s Dengzhou in Henan is the birthplace of the Deng surname, and then migrated to the neighboring Hubei and Hunan areas. In the Western Han Dynasty, Deng Kuang moved back to Nanyang Xinye from the two lakes. After Guangwu Zhongxing, his descendants favored him for many generations, including 29 nobles, 2 dukes, 13 generals and below, 2014 middlemen, 22 lieutenants, 48 ??governors, and the rest were lieutenants, generals, officials, There are countless people who pay homage to you. Naturally, Deng Kuang became the founder of the famous family named Deng in Nanyang. Later, the Nanyang Deng surname was divided into six famous branches, namely Gaomi Deng surname (its ancestor is the Eastern Han Dynasty Taifu and Gaomi Marquis Deng Yu), Anding Deng surname (its ancestor is the seventh-generation grandson Deng Zhao of Wuwei Prefect Deng Jin in the late Han Dynasty).

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Deng Zhi, the great-grandson of Deng Zhi, escaped from Shangcai and entered Bashu. The "Yongjia Rebellion" in the late Western Jin Dynasty was the direct cause of the large-scale migration of people surnamed Deng to the south. During this period, people with the surname Deng settled in Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places in the north, and moved to places such as Jiangsu, Hunan, Sichuan and Anhui in the south. In the early Tang Dynasty, Li Yu's grandson Li Tianhe changed his surname to Deng and fled to live in Anhua, Hunan Province. Deng Chao, the nineteenth generation grandson of Deng Zhao, moved to Yichun, Jiangxi because of his official career, and became the founder of the Deng surname in Jiangxi. The migration of the Deng surname southward to Fujian and Guangdong began during the Jingding period of the Song Dynasty (i.e. after 1260 AD). At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the famous scholar Deng Xiang traveled to eastern Guangdong to study and settled in Nanxiong. During the Ming Dynasty, Deng Gang, the 29th grandson of Deng Chao, moved from Jiangxi to Quanzhou, Guangxi. Deng Gang's younger brother Deng Guo settled in Shishou, Hubei Province because of his official career. Deng Hexuan (a descendant of Deng Tan and Deng Guangjian, the patriots Deng Tan and Deng Guangjian in Ji'an, Jiangxi Province during the Southern Song Dynasty) became an official.
