“Tan”, which Chinese Romanisation is Chen,was derived from Gui (媯), the surname of the descendants of the legendary sage king Emperor Shun. When King Wu of Zhou established the Zhou dynasty in 1046/45 BC, he enfeoffed his son-in-law Gui Man (Duke Hu of Chen), who was said to be a descendant of Emperor Shun, at the State of Chen, in modern Huaiyang County, Henan Province. Chen was conquered by Chu in 479 BC, and the people of Chen adopted the name of their former state as their surname.
“陈”来源于“妫”，传说中的舜帝后裔的姓氏。当周武王在公元前1046至1045年建立了周朝，分封他女婿人妫（陈胡公爵），专说中舜帝的后裔，在陈州，在现代淮阳县，河南省。陈州是在公元前479年被楚国征服，陈州人也因此采取了“陈”作为自己的姓氏。
