Origin note

Pang/逄 should be presented as a layered old surname. The strongest traditional layer links it to a Jiang-lineage Pang state and Pang Boling, with descendants using the state name as a surname. A second layer connects some bearers with the legendary archer Pang Meng, and a third layer points to the Spring and Autumn Qi figure Pang Choufu recorded in Zuozhuan-related dictionary evidence. These traditions are kept as separate layers rather than collapsed into a single founder claim.
