When King Wu of Zhou's son Became King, Tang Hou rebelled and was suppressed by Zhou Gongdan, who assisted him, who resealed the land of Tang to King Cheng's younger brother Tang Shuyu, while the descendants of the original Danzhu were moved to DuGuo, called Tang Dushi, and the descendants of the original Tang Kingdom took the name of the country as a surname, called Tang.

2. From the surname Ji. As we said earlier, Zhou Gongdan changed the title of Tang land to Tang Shuyu, and after Tang Shuyu's son took the throne, he changed his title to Marquis of Jin, which is the origin of the Jin state, and Tang Shuyu's descendants also had Tang as a surname. Later, one of Tang Shuyu's descendants, named Xie Father, was enfeoffed to the new Tang Dynasty, probably located in the northwestern town of Tang County in present-day Suizhou City, Hubei Province. Later, King Chu Zhao destroyed the Tang Kingdom, and the descendants of the Tang Kingdom also took the name of the country, which was the Ji surname Tang, also known as Chu Tang. Tang Shuyu was also posthumously honored as the ancestor of the Tang surname.
3. Ethnic minorities change their surnames. At present, according to research, there are Manchu Tangjia clan, Tanggu clan, Mongolian Tangut clan, southwest barbarian tribe and other ethnic groups that have changed their surnames to Tang surnames.
