One line descends from Manggesa'er, Duke of Yan in the Yuan period, whose descendants adopted Mang as their surname. The Mang families of Xiangshan, Zhejiang, descend from Mongols who migrated south during the Yuan period. Another Mang line belongs to the Wa people long resident in Songyue Village, Ximeng, Yunnan.
Mangwutai accompanied Bayan in the conquest of the Song in the eleventh year of Zhiyuan and was granted hereditary possession of Qingyuan in the twenty-second year, settling in Hutong Lane; he is regarded as the progenitor of the surname. In 1385, Manggutu moved to the Changguo Guard and became its founding ancestor. The three-character surname Mangwutai was subsequently shortened to Mang.
The Mang surname occurs in Wujin, Jiangsu; Putuo, Zhejiang; Jiading, Shanghai; Xintai, Shandong; Chenggu, Shaanxi; and other places. Xiangshan, Zhejiang, has roughly four to five hundred bearers concentrated in two villages, while a small number live in Henan.
In the Ming dynasty, Mang Yi and Mang Zong served as guard battalion commanders. Mang Shan, a native of Fengrun, served as a battalion commander of the Changde Guard during the Yongle reign.
The Mang lineage’s generational sequence is: “Yuan kai tong xu, Ming li liang mo, Qing zhao shan shi, De hua guang fu.”
