According to surname discrimination, genealogy, compilation of Yuanhe surnames, and discrimination of ancient and modern surnames books, Zhang was born in Zhucheng Village, Dongping County, Tai 'an City, Shandong Province (now Zhangqiu County), and the Shang Dynasty was an ancient country. Zhang's birthplace is Zhang Yu (now Nanchang, Jiangxi). In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Ziya was sealed in the State of Qi, in order to build Qi. Qi Taigong accepted Yan as a vassal state, and Qi Taigong later enfeoffed Yan and neighboring Qi to illegitimate children. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Yan was destroyed, and the chapter

The descendants of Yan took the country name "Yan" as their surname. Because they thought that the country no longer existed, they removed the "Yi" representing Xinjiang City and became the surname of Zhang today. Yan State and Qi State are both Qi States. In 664 BC, Yan State was destroyed by its cousin Qi State, and Zhang's surname began to spread throughout the country. For example, during the Warring States Period, there was a general in the State of Qi (now Shandong Province). At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, there were General Qin and Zhang Ping brothers, followed by Zhang Wen (descendant of Taigong), Zhang Qian (present-day Yangzhou, Jiangsu), Hun Shan Yu, Jin Chen, Hun Zhang Ni, and Zhang He in Yangzhou, Eastern Han Dynasty (present-day Jiangsu). These historical facts show that during the Qin and Han Dynasties, Zhang had entered northern Mongolia. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the descendants of Jiang Taigong multiplied in Zhang Yu and became a big family, thus forming the surname of Zhangyu County, and the famous surname of Xing Wu in the Qing Dynasty in the Southern and Northern Dynasties was also derived from this. According to the data in this issue, the surname of Zhang in Hejian (now Hebei Province) also developed rapidly, and then gradually flourished, forming the county hope of Hejian. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, people named Zhang had settled in Zizhou (now Santai, Sichuan), and now there are people named Zhang in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui and other places. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, a person named Zhang settled in Fujian. For example, Zhang Zaijun's ancestors moved to Pucheng from Quanzhou, Fujian. In the Song Dynasty, the chronicles were more famous for their surnames. Due to the turmoil in the north, Zhang's migration mainly concentrated in the south, such as Zhang's father Zhang Yu moved from Pucheng, Fujian to Suzhou, from Pucheng to Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, Zhang Fu moved from Poyang (now Boyang, Jiangxi) to Yizheng, Jiangsu, Zhang Yan moved from Taiping, Ningguo to Runzhou (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu), and Zhang Xian moved from Pucheng, Jianzhou to Suzhou. At this time, due to the entry of Zhang Jian, Zhang became famous in Jiangnan. At the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Shanxi Zhang, as one of the surnames of Sophora japonica settlers in Hongdong, moved around Hunan, Hubei, Shaanxi, Hebei, Beijing and other places. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhang was more widely distributed, and some coastal Zhang moved to Taiwan Province Province, Southeast Asia, Europe and America. 1949, Chiang Kai-shek was defeated in Taiwan Province province.

Edit this passage by Zhang Jiaxun.

"Family Instructions of Simon, the Teacher's Son" (original) The word "heirloom" means farming and reading, and the word "prosperous family business" means thrift and diligence. The word "settle down" means giving up and forbearing, and the word "defending home" means thief and thief. Family destruction is called whoring, and family destruction is called violence. Don't be suspicious, don't listen to dissension, don't be angry, and don't take advantage of the public. Eating is realistic and must be invisible. Children and grandchildren do not suffer from poverty but from incompetence, industries do not suffer from poverty but from injustice, doors do not suffer from decline but from ambition, and friends do not suffer from widowhood but from evil. Unscrupulous offspring have few poems in their eyes and no truth in their chests. They are intoxicated, humble and arrogant. They behaved like beggars, ruined their ancestors' career, humiliated their parents' family, humiliated their hard-working villages and towns and made their wives cry. How can they stand on the world and make a name for mankind? The motto is there, you should recite it day and night. The words "plow" and "read" are family heirlooms, the words "frugality" and "diligence" are the way to make a fortune, the words "let" and "forbearance" are the foundation of settling down, the words "thief" and "thief" are the key to home defense, and the words "whoring" and "base" are the road to violence. Don't be suspicious, don't listen to words that are not conducive to unity, don't do things that cause public outrage, and don't covet public interests. Bad behavior should be curbed as soon as possible when ideas arise, and bad habits must not be formed. The most important thing is to seek truth from facts and be sincere in everything. Many children and grandchildren are mediocre and incompetent, which is the greatest misfortune; It is the greatest shame to have a rich family and a crooked road; Although the door is noisy and unreasonable, it is the biggest drop; Although there are many contacts, doing evil is the biggest sin. Unscrupulous offspring, few poems in their eyes, no truth in their chests, and low spirits. They are rude like idiots, but they are addicted to madness. Their tolerance is as narrow as beggars, humiliating their parents' reputation, humiliating their neighbors and crying for them. How can such a person be called a "person" and how can he live in the world? Read the above motto day and night and keep it in mind.
