Zhang's surname mainly comes from "Chang": in 1971, a batch of South Korean bronze weapons were unearthed in Zheng Han's ancient city in Xinzheng, Henan Province, and two bronze inscriptions were: "Zheng Ming in four years: Si Kou Chang Zhu, armory engineer: Ye Yinpi made"; Scott Zhang Zhu, right library engineer: Chun Gao, Ye Yin: Yan Zao.
that is, the name of the same sheep herder, whose first name is "Chang Zhu" and the second name is "Zhang Zhu", shows that there is not only a surname of "Chang" in the Spring and Autumn Period, but also a surname of "Zhang". Chang was originally a descendant of Dongyi. After surrendering to Shang, he was responsible for manufacturing weapons such as bows and arrows. In the third issue of Oracle Bone Inscriptions's Ci, there is a record that "his eldest son is only a turtle and the king is subject to it", which shows that Chang is a country and regularly pays tribute to the Shang king.
Later, it became the surname Zhang, so the surname Chang was the ancestor of the surname Zhang. In written language, before the mid-Spring and Autumn Period, there were only "Chang" surnames without Zhang surnames, and after the mid-Spring and Autumn Period, there were only "Zhang" surnames without long surnames.
Introduction to historical development: Zhang's birth has a history of about 5, years.

Once, he watched the night sky and was inspired by the combination of stars. After research, he invented the bow.
At that time, people basically made a living by hunting, and the invention of the bow was a great event, so the Yellow Emperor named it "Gong Zheng", also called "Bow Length", and combined the official names into one and gave him the surname "Zhang". At this point, "Zhang Hui" became the ancestor of Zhang.
