Pang / Pang
The Pang surname is currently fairly common and is distributed in Beijing, Shangyi and Fuping in Hebei, Pingyi and Longkou in Shandong, Tianlin in Shanxi, Longchuan and Hekou in Yunnan, and Hejiang in Sichuan, among other places.
The Pang surname mainly has two origins: the Gaoyang clan and the Ji surname.
Before the Qin dynasty, the Pang surname was first active in the Shaanxi-Shanxi region. During the Spring and Autumn period it migrated eastward and southward; by the Warring States period it had reached Hebei and Shandong and moved south into the Central Plains, Hubei, and Hunan.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Pang Tong of Xiangyang was Liu Bei's adviser. He was once considered the equal of Zhuge Liang and was known as the “Phoenix Hatchling.”
The location of ancient Pang Township can no longer be determined, and the Pang surname is rarely seen in historical books before the Spring and Autumn period; by the Warring States period, Pang Juan of Wei and Pang Nuan of Zhao were recorded.
