Zhang said, vice president of China Genealogy Research Association: "The site we are standing at now is called Taosi Site, which occupies a very important position in the archaeological history of our country and has a great relationship with the origin of Tao surname. According to legend, Emperor Yao was sealed in Tao Di (now Dingtao, Shandong Province) and later changed to Tang Di (now Tangxian County, Hebei Province). Therefore, the name of Emperor Yao is called Taotang History. Among the descendants of Emperor Yao, one was named after Tao Wei, which is the origin of our China Tao surname. According to another record, among the descendants of Shun Di, there was a man who was responsible for pottery and was given the official title of Zheng Tao, who made pottery as his career. This descendant takes his profession as his surname, also named Tao. "That is to say, a Tao surname originated from the descendants of Emperor Yao and one from the descendants of Emperor Shun, but both the Tao surname originated from Yao and Shun and the Tao surname originated from Emperor Shun are actually a family passed down from generation to generation. Because Yao married his two daughters to Shun, his descendants also shed the blood of Yao Emperor. There is a couplet about E Huang and Nv Ying, which reads: father, emperor, husband, father, husband, emperor, sister, queen, sister and queen. This shows the blood relationship between the two Tao surnames. There are countless people named Tao in the history of our country. In the Jin Dynasty, there were several great people named Taolian, such as Tao Kan, who was famous for cherishing time. His motto is that people should cherish every minute. Because of his diligence, he served as the governor of Bazhou in the Jin Dynasty and commanded the army for forty years. Tao Kan's great-grandson Tao Yuanming is famous for his immortal poems. A "Peach Blossom Garden" has always been regarded as a must-read by students of all ages. The poem "Picking chrysanthemums under the hedge and seeing Nanshan leisurely" has also been told for thousands of years, but his story of not bowing down for five buckets of rice has been regarded as the motto of Gao Shi by later generations. Tao Yuanming was the magistrate of Pengze County in Jiangxi Province at the age of forty-one, but he abandoned his post in just over eighty days. We can still see from his poem "Appreciating Wonders and Solving Puzzles" that after he retired, he often argued with his neighbors and analyzed historical events. According to the record of surname test, Tao originated in Dingtao, Shandong Province. Before the Zhou Dynasty, Tao's surname was invisible in history books. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the first person who went down in history appeared, that is, Ying Tao, a woman handed down from generation to generation with salvation. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Tao's surname gradually moved southward to the present Lankao area in Henan Province, and then developed, forming Jiyang County, the county with the largest Tao's surname in history. In the Western Han Dynasty, there were Taoshe and an official in Chang 'an, and Taoqing was publicly sealed, and later generations inherited their duties and lived in the local area. During the Han Dynasty, people surnamed Tao gradually moved south to Jiangsu and Anhui and settled in Jiangnan. For example, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hou from Xuzhou and Liyang were all from Danyang (now Xuancheng, Anhui). During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the gentry of the Central Plains moved southward, and Tao surnames from Henan and Shandong began to move southward to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Tao surnames from northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui also crossed the river to enter Zhejiang and Jiangxi. During this period, many famous Taoists emerged in the south of the Yangtze River, such as A Shizhong, the Taiwei of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Tao Kan, a native of Poyang (now Boyang, Jiangxi). Later, he moved to Xunyang Chaisang (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi), and the famous poet Tao Yuanming was his great-grandson. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Xiaochang Xiang Tao Zhenbao and Jin 'an Hou Longtao were both from Moling (now Nanjing, Jiangsu). After continuous reproduction, Dow has formed a huge family and prosperous descendants. Therefore, the Tao surname of later generations took Danyang and Xunyang as county names. Before the Song Dynasty, the development of Tao surname was based on the above two places, and slowly spread to the whole south of the Yangtze River, and a branch of Tao surname entered Hunan. In the Song Dynasty, Tao surname was developed in the north, and it was found in Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi and Hebei. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, smoke filled the south of the Yangtze River, and Dow spread to Hunan, Hubei, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places. In the early Ming Dynasty, Tao, as one of the surnames of Sophora japonica in Hongdong, migrated to Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Beijing and other places, while the Tao surnames of Hunan and Hubei filled the migration wave in Sichuan with Huguang, entered Sichuan and then migrated to Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. In the Qing Dynasty, Tao's surname had spread all over the country, and some people crossed the sea to Taiwan Province and then moved overseas. Therefore, most of the Dow in Taiwan Province Province immigrated from Fujian in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Tao, Chairman of Taiwan Province Dow Publishing House: "It is a great pleasure to return to the birthplace of Dow this time. The distribution of Tao surnames in Taiwan Province Province is still general. According to current statistics, there are about 10,000 people in Taiwan Province Province. " Today, most Taoists in Taiwan Province Province live in Taibei, Hsinchu and Changhua.

Danyang County: Danyang, also known as Runzhou, is a very old place name in China, and the place it refers to has changed frequently. In the pre-Qin period, there were three places called Danyang, but generally it mainly refers to Yanxian (now Nanchang, Jiangxi).

It was reorganized from the original Yanzhou County, and established Wanling (now Xuancheng, Anhui Province), under the jurisdiction of 17 County. At that time, it was located in the area south of the Yangtze River in Anhui Province, west of Tianmu Mountain in Jiangsu Province and north of Wuqiangxi, a tributary of Xin 'anjiang River in Zhejiang Province.
