At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng, a local separatist force, took refuge and changed his surname. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng was an eighteen-pole anti-Yuan dynasty, which once occupied large areas of land such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui, and established itself as the king of Wu. Later, due to various reasons, it was quickly defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinate generals Xu Da and Chang Yuchun and chased to the north. When Zhang Shicheng was crossing the river, he knew he couldn't escape, so he threw himself into the river.
Xu Da and Chang Yuchun will arrive soon, cut off Zhang Shicheng's head and take it back, leaving his body in the wild. Zhang Shicheng's three sons buried the body in the grave, and were named the Three Surnames Tomb. Since then, Zhang Shicheng's three sons have changed their surnames to Hui, Zhai and Chang to avoid the pursuit of the Ming army. Later, he dispersed and fled, and later became a Muslim and a Hui, which was passed down from generation to generation.
