Wang clan of Taiyuan

The Wang clan of Taiyuan (Chinese: 太原王氏; Wade–Giles: T'ai1 Yuan2 Wang2 Shi4) was a Chinese clan which achieved prominence between the Han and Tang dynasties, based in Taiyuan in modern-day Shanxi province.

The earliest prominent members of this clan can be traced back to two brothers, Wang Rou and Wang Ze, of the Eastern Han dynasty.[1]
