It comes from the ancient Deng Kingdom in the Huangdi era, from the surname Si, from the surname Yuanchu Zi, from the surname Li, and the integration of foreign genes.
1. The ancient Deng State from the Huangdi era: The ancient site of the Deng State is in the Deng Ruins in Heze, Shandong Province today. The Deng family after the ancient Deng State has a history of at least 5,000 years. Deng Bowen, the king of Deng State, was a minister of the Yellow Emperor, which shows that Deng State's status was very prominent at that time.
2. From the surname Si: Around 2070 BC, Dayu established the Xia Dynasty, the first dynasty in China. Yu passed to Qi, Qi passed to Taikang, and Taikang passed to Zhongkang. Zhongkang granted his concubine's son to Deng. Deng's kingdom was located in the ancient Deng City in the west of Mengzhou, Henan Province. Because it was on the north bank of the Yellow River, it was also called Deng in Hebei. From 1250 BC to 1192 BC, it was the era of Shang King Wu Ding, which was also the period of the resurgence of the Shang Dynasty. Wu Ding launched a large-scale campaign against Xia's vassal states and tribes, and the Si surnamed Deng country was also destroyed during this period. The descendants were forced to move southeast to Dengcheng, southeast of present-day Yancheng, Henan Province. It was the land of Cai State in the Spring and Autumn Period. Because it was south of the Yellow River, it was also called Deng in Henan. Si's surname Deng has a history of at least 4,000 years.
3. The surname Yuanchuzi: a descendant of the royal family of the Shang Dynasty. King Wu Ding of the Shang Dynasty destroyed the country of Si with the surname Deng, and then granted his uncle Man Ji to Deng in Hebei Province, and gave him the surname Man, a marquis, in the ancient city of Deng in the west of Mengzhou, Henan today. King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty in 1046 BC, and his descendants named Deng were forced to move south to ancient Dengsai in the north of Xiangfan, Hubei Province. In 678 BC, King Wen of Chu destroyed the Marquis of Deng Qi, and the Deng Kingdom was destroyed, and his descendants took Deng as their surname. The Deng people moved north and settled in Dengzhou, present-day Henan Province, and formed a famous Nanyang family during the Western Han Dynasty. Manji is the recognized ancestor of the Deng people, and the Deng family is the main member of the Han Deng group, with a history of at least more than 3,200 years.
4. From the Li family: Li Congyi, the 8th son of Li Yu, the later lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, was named King Deng. After the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed by the Northern Song Dynasty in 975 AD, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty ordered the arrest of the Southern Tang clan. Li Congyi's son Tianhe fled and took his father's fiefdom as his surname, and his descendants later called him the Deng family.
5. Integration of foreign genes: The formation of people with the Deng surname is more complicated than that of other people. The integration of foreign genes has already begun in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. When King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the people with the Kai surname of the Beidi tribe were the ones who mainly attacked the Deng State of the Shang Dynasty. After occupying the Deng State, everyone with the Kai surname took over the Deng State. Modern archeology has discovered that among the bronzes unearthed in Shaanxi in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, there are ware with the surname Deng, and the euphemism means Wei, which proves that the Deng surname of Wei existed at that time. This group of Deng clan soon left the Central Plains and moved westward to Dengzhi on the border of Gansu and Sichuan. The Qiang area south of Motianling Mountains on the present-day Sichuan-Gansu boundary formed the Dengzhi Qiang. During the Three Kingdoms, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Dengzhiqiang were very active in the west. They were not destroyed until the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Most of the Dengzhiqiang people integrated into the local Han people. One of them went south and entered Yunnan to form the Wudeng Kingdom in the southwest during the Tang Dynasty. Some of the Wudeng people merged into the Yi people in the Liangshan area of Sichuan. The surname Deng among the Yi people came from the Wudeng people.

Where is the ancestral home of the Deng family? What is the genealogy?
Origin of the Deng surname
The ancestor of the Deng surname
is a descendant of the Jin Tian family who was given the surname Man by Zhuan Xu. Legend has it that thousands of years ago, Zhuanxu, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, gave a meritorious son of the Jintian family to Shaohao as the Man family. After the Man family adopted the surname, it multiplied for generations and branched out into many branches, and the Deng family was one of them.
During the Yin Dynasty, the Deng clan developed into a princely state named after Deng. Deng State has a long history. It was not destroyed by Chu State until the Warring States Period. According to the custom at that time, his descendants took the country as their surname and passed down the surname, which became the Deng family. Regarding this, the "Yuanhe Surnames Compilation" of the Tang Dynasty summarized: "Deng, Man's surname, belongs to the country of Yin Dynasty. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Deng Houwu left Chaolu and was later destroyed by King Wen of Chu. His descendants took the country as their surname. "
The surname book* records that the Deng family is "a family of Chengman, looking out to Nanyang". This is consistent with the original position of Deng Guo. From the ancient Shaohao Jintian clan down, the Deng clan has always prospered and grown in what is now Henan. In the later reproduction, the Deng surname has been centered on this and gradually spread to all parts of the country. People with the surname Deng, no matter where they live in the north or south, all carry the family name of "Nanyang", which shows that they are from the Henan lineage.
The Deng surname developed from Nanyang, its ancestral home. According to the "Deng Family Tree", there have been 114 generations of descendants.

Shizu. Most of the Chinese surnames Deng originate from this lineage.
During the process of reproduction and development, the Deng family also absorbed members of foreign races and surnames. According to the "Preface to the Genealogy of the Deng Family in Anhua", Li Yu, the later lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, once named his eighth son Li Congyi as King Deng. After the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid being executed by Song Taizu, he took his father's title as his surname and changed it to Deng to save his life.
From the Deng family genealogy, we learned that the Deng family moved south to Fujian and Guangdong. It began during the Jingding period of the Song Dynasty and gradually moved from "Nanyang" to various places in the south, especially in today's Guangzhou, Fujian. In places such as East China, Guizhou, and Zhejiang, after a long period of time, not only did the time come earlier, but they also multiplied vigorously and quickly became popular local surnames.
