Why is Chen called Yingchuan Family?

Yingchuan Chen entered the Wei and Jin Dynasties from the end of the Han Dynasty, with more than ten generations of descendants and a family background of 300 years. It can be said that he is one of the oldest aristocratic families in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Comparatively speaking, the so-called Wang Xie's home can only be regarded as a rising star.

Although the main branch of Chen in Yingchuan moved south, in the Northern Dynasties, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the gentry made a clear sequence of gate valves for the first time in history in 19 years (495), and Chen was always listed as the first surname in Yingchuan. Since Hou Shi, Chen's ancestral home in the world is mostly in Yingchuan. This is the reason why Chen is called Yingchuan family.
