If you know the history of the Tan family, please reply. Thank you.

1. Comes from the surname Si. According to legend, floods occurred in the Central Plains during the Yao period, and Yao sent Gun to control the floods. Gun tried to block the floods, but failed. It is said that Gun's wife ate coix in a dream, and when she woke up, she became pregnant and gave birth to Yu. After Shun came to the throne, he appointed Gun's son Yu to control the floods. Yu adopted the dredging method, which was successful. After Yu succeeded in controlling the floods, Shun gave Si the surname Yu.

When the feudal lords were enfeoffed in the early Zhou Dynasty, a branch of the Si family was granted the title of Tan Guo (today’s west of Zhangqiu County, Shandong Province), with the title of son. In the early Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi dominated the princes and annexed the state of Tan in the fourth year of King Zhouzhuang (683 BC). The son of the king of Tan State fled to Ju State (today's Ju County, Shandong Province). The descendants took the country as their surname and called it the Tan family. In history, it was called the authentic Tan family, which was the Shandong Tan family.

2. It comes from the ancient southwest ethnic minorities. According to the textual research of "Tonggu Genealogy of Ten Thousand Surnames", the six surnames in Banan (today's Yunnan and Guizhou areas) include the Tan family. They claim to be descendants of Pangu. Looking out of Hongnong, they are the Tan family of Yunnan and Guizhou.
