Pan surname

Origin of surname

Pan (Pān) surname has four sources:

1, from Michaelis, was named after Pan Chong, a duke of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period. According to the Genealogy, Zhuan Xu descendant Lu Yisheng had six sons, and the sixth son was named Ji Lian and given the surname Mi. In Zhou Chengwang, his descendant Xiong Yi was appointed to establish the capital state in Jingshan. In 740 BC, Xiong Tong, King Jing, called himself King Wu, and in 689 BC, his son changed to King Chu, calling him King Chu. According to the origin of surnames, Pan Shi's genealogy and Records of the Chu Family, Pan Chong, the son of the public clan, helped the King of Chu to succeed to the throne and was made a grand teacher. His descendants took their ancestral names as their surnames and were called Panshi. From then on, Pan became a powerful family in Chu State, hence the name Pan.

2. From the mouth of the Zhou Dynasty. After the grandson, the city was named after the surname. According to "Yuanhe Shidian", the fifteenth son was tall and ordered his son to gather grain in (now Shaanxi An and Xianyang). Later generations named the city Panshi.

3. Yao, who thought his surname was from ancient times and took the country name as his surname. According to the Chinese surname, he was born in Yao Ruins. His surname is Yao. Established capital Pan (now northeast of Yanqing County, Beijing), and later Pan moved to Xingping North, Shaanxi Province. In Shang Dynasty, the descendants of Shun established Pan, which was later destroyed in the last years of Shang Dynasty, so their descendants took the country as their surname and called it Pan Shi.

4. From his surname:

(1) According to the Records of Guan Shi, during the localization reform of Emperor Xiaowen in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xianbei was changed to Duoluoshi, with a single surname of Pan.

(2) At the end of the Qing Emperor Kangxi, A Mu, the chief of Anshi Society in Taiwan Province Province (now Shenzhen and Hong Kong in Taichung City, Taiwan Province Province), surrendered to the Qing court and was given the surname Pan; During Guangxu period, Gaoshan people in Taiwan Province Province were naturalized in the Qing court and given the surname Pan (this is also an important reason why most Gaoshan people in Taiwan Province Province are surnamed Pan).

(3) Man, Shui, Jing, Meng, Tujia, Yi, Yao, Mulao, Hui, Zhuang, Buyi and other ethnic minorities all have Pan's surname.

When Pan Chongchu was king, Pan Chong, a famous official of the Pan Shi family, was the teacher of the prince's businessman. During the reign of King Chu, Pan Chong strongly supported the merchants of the Prince, and succeeded King Chu Mu. Pan Chong was awarded the title of Taishi and King Chu Mu for his meritorious service in helping Shang Chen succeed to the throne, and gave him all his property when he was a prince. From then on, Pan became a big family of Chu. Later generations read Pan Zhongxing's contribution to Pan's surname, so they respected him as the ancestor of Pan's surname. The correctness of this view may be quite high, because almost all the people surnamed Pan in the Spring and Autumn Period in ancient books are Chu people.

Migration distribution

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Pan Shi mainly developed in today's Hubei Province. Since then, a few people in Pan Shi have migrated to Shandong and Hunan. In the Han Dynasty, Pan Bei moved to Zhongmou, Xingyang (now Henan Province), and when he arrived in the Three Kingdoms, he flourished and became a noble family in Xingyang County. His ancestor was Zuo Xu, a book about offering the emperor in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Pan Gan moved to Liyang, Jiangsu Province because he was an official. Pan Gan is the ancestor here. Pan Zhang, the right general of Soochow, moved to Jiankang from (now guanxian, Shandong Province). Hou Liuyang of Soochow was born in Hanshou (now Changde, Hunan Province), and Pan, the wife of Sun Quan, was born in Huiji, Zhejiang Province. This shows that before the Three Kingdoms, Pan Shi had spread to the above places, among which Zhongmou Pan Shi was the most prosperous. During the Jin Dynasty, Sun Pan, a descendant of Xu Pan, was appointed as the prefect of Guangzong. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, Pan's surname changed from Baduo Luo's to Han Luo's, and gradually formed Pan's surname in the third county of Luoyang, whose ancestor was. Pan Shaoye, the eighth grandson of Pan Cai, was born in Suizhou (now Suixian County, Hubei Province). At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the father and son opened, and Gushi people from Henan followed them into Fujian. During this period, Pan Shaoye's great-grandson Pan settled in Hangzhou because he was the secretariat of Hangzhou. During this period, the descendants who moved to Shaanxi flourished, while Pan Suren, the secretary supervisor of the Tang Dynasty in Jiangxia (now Wuchang, Hubei), claimed to be the descendant of Pan in the Han Dynasty. It can be seen that from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, Pan Shi derived many branches from the famous family of Zhongmou, while his descendants looked out from Luoyang. Zhang Yu Pan Shi flourished in the Tang Dynasty and became a famous local family in the Southern Tang Dynasty in the Five Dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, after the festival, people moved to Guangdong and Yunnan. During the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Pan Shi had spread all over the country. Nowadays, the market is widely distributed, especially in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Inner Mongolia, Henan, Sichuan, Hubei, Zhejiang and other provinces. Pan's surname in the above eight provinces accounts for about 69% of the Han population in China. Pan is the 52nd surname in China with a large population, accounting for 0.42% of the Han population in China.
