汤姓分布
因汤姓系承于商汤,故汤姓最早的发祥地应该是今河南省境。商朝自商汤至纣王亡国,其国都先后有7次迁徙,即商汤时定都亳(今河南商丘县北);至仲丁时,迁都于嚣(今河南荥泽县西南);河禀甲时,迁都于相(今河南安阳县西);祖乙初时,迁都于耿(今山西河津县南);后再迁都于邢(今河北邢县);至盘庚,定都于殷(今河南偃师县西),改国号殷,称为殷商;到武乙时,再迁都到朝歌(今河南淇县东北),直到纣亡。因此汤氏再商代就遍布于全国各地,但至秦汉之际,汤姓却主要以古时的中山河范阳两郡所辖之境为其繁中心。所以现在全国各地的汤姓人家,应该大多来自此地。汉文帝时,汤隆的玄孙汤得新自开封迁至晋陵(今江苏常州),其子汤璋又徙居交趾(治所再今越南河内市西北)。唐初,陈政、陈元光父子奉命入闽开辟漳州,有汤姓将佐自光州固始(今属河南)随从前往,在福建定居。宋代,汤氏主要分布于今江苏、浙江、江西、安徽、湖南、福建、四川等省。宋时有秋浦(今安徽贵池)人殷崇义因避宋太祖赵匡胤之父赵弘殷得名讳,改姓名为汤悦。明代,汤氏有迁入今广东、广西者。从清康熙时开始,广东汤氏陆续有人移居台湾,以后再尤台湾迁巴西、日本、毛里求斯、印尼、新加坡、泰国、帝汶、澳洲等地。
My apology in advance as I only can read some Chinese and have managed to study your blogs as I am also a descendent of the 汤姓 from 高思村. Your blogs were amazingly interesting and I wish I could read and understand them100%. Nevertheless, I've got the gist of the subjects. In particular I'd like to correct your reference to those migrated to 帝汶, where my parents and I are from.
ReplyDeleteMy grandfather and his second brother's decendents made up the most 汤姓 in 帝汶, and they have both moved to 帝汶(Timor) directly from China, not Taiwan as suggested in your blog. My grandfather do however have relatives in Taiwan and some of them moved there directly from Mainland China. A number of my dad's cousins and his youngest brother were later sent to Taiwan in the late 1960's to early 1970's from Timor to study or get married. As far as we know, all the Timorese Chinese have forefathers that came directly from Guangzhou.
