The source of Dan Tai's surname:

Dan Tai (Tán tái) is a simple surname, which originated from the descendants of Mi Ming, a disciple of Confucius in the State of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and took the place name as the surname. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a disciple of Confucius named Ming and Nandu in Lu, who lived by the lake (now Wuzhong, Jiangsu). ); On the other hand, he lived in Tantai Mountain (now south of Jiaxiang County, Shandong Province), so he was named Tantai Mountain Ming after the lake (mountain).

Tantai's reputation spread far and wide because of his good conduct and contempt for the world. It is said that when Tan Taiming entered Nanchang City, he entered through Jinxianmen. He founded an academy to give lectures, which had a great influence on Nanchang's culture. Therefore, Nanchang people also hope that more sages like Tan Taiming can come to Nanchang, so they named the gate where Tan Taiming entered Nanchang as "Jinxianmen".

Later, in order to accept more sages to Nanchang and establish the image of the south gate of Nanchang, the Golden Sage Pagoda was built outside Jinxian Gate. His descendants took the surname of Dan Tai and Dan Tai. Most clan members in Dan Tai respect Tan Tai Ming as their ancestors. Nowadays, families are rare, and many surnames have been changed to simple surnames like Lian and Tai.
