Who are the celebrities named Chang in history?

The origin of the surname Chang

It is said that in the Huangdi era five thousand years ago, there were quite a few ancient people with Chang as their surname. According to legend, the second concubine of the Gao Xin clan, the leader of the Zhou and Shang clans, was Chang Yi, who was famous for her ability to predict the twilight, new moon, twilight, and twilight of the moon. "Emperor's Chronicle" says that she was the second concubine of Emperor Ku and gave birth to Emperor Zhi. Since "Yi" and "娥" had the same sound in ancient times, the story of Chang'e flying to the moon in later generations may be based on Chang Yi's approximation of the moon. "Historical Records: The Chronicles of the Five Emperors" records that the Yellow Emperor "raised Fenghou, Li Mu, Chang Xian, and Dahong to govern the people." Chang Xian was appointed by the Yellow Emperor as Da Sikong (an official in charge of projects). This is the earliest record in history. Chang's surname. Zhang Man, a native of the Qing Dynasty, said in "Looking for the Origin of Surnames": "The Yellow Emperor made Chang Yi account for the moon, and Chang Xian was the Great Sikong, so the surname Chang should come from this." Xuanyuan Qiu, where the Yellow Emperor lived, is in the northwest of Xinzheng City, Henan Province. The capital of Ku was in Yanshi City, Henan Province today, so the earliest Chang surname in China came from Henan. Therefore, the surname Chang should be said to have existed five thousand years ago, and it is the Chang family in Henan.

It comes from the surname Ji, with Yi as its surname, and is a descendant of Uncle Kang, the Wei Dynasty in Xizhou. According to "Compilation of Yuanhe Surnames" and "Tongzhi Clan Brief", after King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he granted his younger brother (the youngest son of King Wen) the title of Kangshufeng in Kangyi. Uncle Wei Kang, whose surname is Ji and given name is Feng, is the younger half-brother of Ji Fa, King Wu of Zhou Dynasty, and the ancestor of the Wei Kingdom. Therefore, "New Book of Tang Dynasty: Lineage of Prime Ministers" says: "The Chang family comes from the surname Ji. Wei Kangshu's descendants grew up in Changyi, so they took it as their surname." Later, Duke Zhou (brother of King Wu) transferred the area around the original Shang capital and the people of Yin The seven clans were granted titles to Uncle Kang and established the Wei Kingdom. Wei State became a vassal of Wei in 254 BC, and was destroyed by Qin in 209 BC. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou enfeoffed the princes, and the princes also enfeoffed fiefs. Wei Kangshu granted one of his sons the title of Chang (now southeast of Tengzhou City, Shandong Province). After the fall of Wei State, some of its descendants took the surname of Wei as the surname of the country, and some took the surname of Chang as the surname of the city. Historically, the surname Chang was called Zhengzong. At the same time, it cannot be ruled out that descendants of the Yin and Shang dynasties changed their surnames to Wei or Chang. It is the Chang surname of Shandong. Another surname "Chang" comes from the descendants of the Duke of Wu during the Warring States Period, and also comes from the surname Ji, which is what Luo Mi's "Lu Shi" of the Southern Song Dynasty says "the Queen of Wu has the Chang family". The founders of the Wu Kingdom were the uncles of Zhou Wen Wang Jichang and Zhong Yong, who established their capital in Wu (now Suzhou, Jiangsu Province). However, when and why the descendants of the Wu Kingdom became the Chang family, there are no ancient records, and further research is needed. According to "A Study of Surnames": "Empress Wu had the surname Chang", which was the Chang family in Jiangsu.

From the surname Heng, the surname was changed to avoid taboo. The name of Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty was Zhao Heng. In ancient times, "Heng" and "Chang" had similar meanings, so to avoid the emperor's taboo, the surname was changed to Chang. The surname Heng originally came from the Duke of Chu, Heng Sigong. This is what Zheng Qiao of the Southern Song Dynasty said in "Tongzhi Clan Briefing": "There are also Hengs who avoided the Song Dynasty taboo and changed it to Chang". They mainly flourished along the coast of the East China Sea in today's Jiangsu Province.
