Exploring the origin of Zhang surname
▲ About the word "Zhang"
Zhang is an pictograph, and he looks like a person who is eager to make a move.
Zhang, a traditional Chinese character with eyes, consists of a bow and a long left and right side. When people surnamed Zhang introduce their surnames to others, they all say "bow", which shows that they attach great importance to the "bow" in surnames. From the perspective of philology, "bow" is also the core of the word "Zhang".
Zhang Zi was not found in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, but there are many inscriptions on bronzes and stone tools, and their writing styles are also different. Although these words are written in different ways, they have a basic feature, that is, they cannot be separated from bows, arrows and lengths, especially bows. It can be said that without a bow, there is no Zhang. Judging from the evolution of glyphs, Zhang was originally a combination of bows and arrows. Bow and arrow are naturally combined into one. Where there is a bow, there must be a target, which need not be emphasized. So the arrow gradually withdrew and gave way to the longbow, and finally stabilized into a longbow complex. A long bow means that this bow is more powerful than an ordinary bow.
Zhang Zi has many meanings. The New Chinese Dictionary has 2 1 meaning, and the general dictionary has more than ten meanings such as exaggeration, openness, strength, fullness, posting, reading, hope, expansion and arrangement. But most of them come from later generations, and the earliest dictionaries have few meanings. "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" said: "Zhang, bow string is also. From the bow, long sound. " Guangya Shi San: "Zhang," There is another meaning, which can be seen: "Luo takes birds and animals and says Zhang." He also said, "Zhang, set it up and set it as a machine trap to serve birds and animals."
▲ There are three main sources of Zhang's surname:
First, from the Yellow Emperor, waving is the ancestor.
According to the genealogy table of prime ministers in the book of the New Tang Dynasty, "The son of the Yellow Emperor, Qingyang Wuzi, wielded a bow and arrow, and later generations gave him the surname Zhang." This Zhang clan was directly handed down by the Yellow Emperor, which originated in Qingyang near Jinci in the southwest of Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, and later in this area.
Zhang surname is an ancient surname, which originated from a distant legendary era. It is said that Zhang's ancestor's name was Hua. He is the grandson of the Yellow Emperor (the son of the Yellow Emperor) and a great inventor. He invented the bow and arrow and the net. Bows and arrows and nets, as new production tools at that time, enabled people to hunt more birds and animals, catch more fish and shrimp, and reduce the harm of wild animals to themselves. The clan and tribe to which Bo belongs have produced bows and arrows and fishing nets for generations, so his descendants take "Zhang" as their surname.
The Yellow Emperor is Zhang's recognized blood ancestor and the leader of the Chinese tribal alliance in the ancient legend era. He ruled the world with virtue, benevolence, faith, selecting talents and appointing talents, and severely punishing stubborn killers, creating a prosperous time of singing and dancing.
