Zhang is a very glorious surname with a long history, a large family and numerous talents. If people named Zhang count "Jia Zhen", there are probably very few people who can compare with them.
"Surname Compilation" says: "Qingyang, the fifth son of the Yellow Emperor, was born to straighten the bow. He watched the Arc Star and began to make bows and arrows. The main sacrifice was to Zhang Xing, so his surname was Zhang."

"A Survey of Surnames" also says: "Swinging an arc arrow, he was granted the title of Zhang, and later became the Gong family, Zhang family, and Wang Chu Taiyuan."
"Customs" It pointed out: "Zhang, Wang, Li, Zhao, and Huangdi gave the surnames."
From the above three paragraphs of records, the ancestors of the Zhang surname can be directly traced back to the founding of the Chinese nation five thousand years ago. *The same ancestor as Huangdi is a direct descendant of Huangdi. Unlike many other surnames, he has to work hard to find proof that he is a descendant of Huangyan. For this reason alone, people with the surname Zhang are much luckier and more impressive than others.
Secondly, another thing the Zhang surname can boast about is that their ancestor Hui was the inventor of the bow and arrow, an important weapon in ancient times. Before using a bow and arrow, you must first open it with strength, so some of the descendants of Hui are named Gong and some are named Zhang. Nowadays, when people with the surname Zhang introduce their surname, they often use the expression "Gong Chang Zhang", which is very reasonable and shows the incomparable ingenuity of Chinese characters.
The surname Zhang, which was directly passed down from the Yellow Emperor, originally originated in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province today.
In the Zhou Dynasty about three thousand years ago, the other two descendants of the Yellow Emperor with the surname Ji also had the surname Zhang. First, according to Yuan Jue's "Preface to the Genealogy of the Zhang Family" of the Yuan Dynasty: "The surname Zhang comes from the surname Ji. By Zhou Dynasty, the ancestors of the surname were in Han, and there were twelve popular ones, namely Xiangyang, Luoyang, Hedong, Shixing, Fengyi, Wujun, Pingyuan, Qinghe, Hejian, Zhongshan, said Wei, said Shu",
The second one is based on "Tongzhi Clan Briefing". : "The Jin Dynasty had Jie Zhang, named Zhang Hou. From then on, the Zhang family began to exist in the Jin State; it came from Qinghe, Nanyang, Wujun, Anding (in today's Gansu Province), Dunhuang, Wuwei, Fanyang, Qianwei, Peiguo, Liangguo, Zhongshan, Jijun, Hanoi, and Gaoping are the fourteenth surnames."
It can be seen that although the surnames Zhang and Ji were given by the Yellow Emperor at the same time five thousand years ago, they were given surnames two thousand years later. In the Zhou Dynasty, South Korea and the Jin Kingdom, which were founded by the descendants of King Wen of Zhou with the surname of Ji, all had Zhang as their surname. These two surnames of Zhang came from behind and multiplied widely. They were prominent families in 26 places including Xiangyang and Luoyang. . Therefore, although the Zhang surname of the Han nationality is traced back to the descendants of the Xuanyuan family of the Yellow Emperor, the order of obtaining the surname was different, and the tribes were also different. Later, those who later made Zhang a common surname of the Han nationality were mainly descendants of the Zhang surname. They The clan has a large population and has multiplied to this day. Almost wherever there are Chinese people, there will be people with the surname Zhang.
Historical scholars with the surname Zhang have always produced numerous talents, which are enough to envy others. Starting from Zhang Yi who lobbied the Six Kingdoms Company to invade the Qin Dynasty during the Warring States Period, the historical records of the past dynasties are full of records of people with the surname Zhang. People's deeds and achievements, they not only stand out in their deeds, but also make great contributions to academics, art, medicine, etc. L
