Tang Clan

The Tang Clan (Chinese: 鄧族; pinyin: Dèng zú) is one of the Great Five Clans of Hong Kong (新界五大氏族 - 鄧文廖侯彭). The others are Man (Wen), Hau (Hou), Pang (Peng) and Liu (Liao). The Tangs originated from Jishui (吉水) of Jiangxi province and are considered to be native Hong Kong people, as they were the first immigrants to settle in what is now Hong Kong from what is now mainland China in the 11th century. Many of the Tangs settled in Kam Tin, New Territories. The most famous Tang village is Kat Hing Wai, a walled village with a moat. This was the last village to fall under British control in the late 19th century.

The Tangs in Lung Yeuk Tau (龍躍頭), in Fanling, have the strongest claim to the royal descent among their fellow clansmen, because they are the descendants of the eldest son, Tang Lum (鄧林) of the princess of the southern Song Dynasty (1127–1279).

The father of the princess was Emperor Gaozong of Song (June 12, 1107 – November 9, 1187), born Zhao Gou, was the tenth emperor of the Song Dynasty of China, and the first emperor of the Southern Song. He reigned from 1127 to 1162. He fled south after the Jurchens overran Kaifeng in the Jingkang Incident of the Jin–Song wars, hence the beginning of the Southern Song dynasty 1127-1279. Gaozong re-established his seat of government in Lin'an (臨安; today's Hangzhou).
