Righteousness is prosperous and rich, and personality is self-taught;
Like Yuan and Hou, diligent study will become the pillar of the country.
Preface to zhangjiapu
Zhang is a family full of pioneering spirit. During the pre-Qin period, they migrated from Qinghe to various vassal States. The wave of refugees caused by military disasters and natural disasters in Qin and Han Dynasties promoted the migration of ancestors named Zhang. With the formation of post-war reunification, the prosperous Zhang family needs to seek new living space. My family is from Jiangxi. As early as the Three Kingdoms, Hou lived in the Western Han Dynasty. He is well informed and resourceful. Zhang Tong, a great scholar in the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Injong named our family "forbearing family style". So far, there is still a couplet: "The bachelor's family in the Tang Dynasty is far away, and Hou Shize lives in the Western Han Dynasty" to recognize the imperial clan.
Later, due to the invasion of the Central Plains by the Qing soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty retreated one after another, and the ancestors fled with the refugees to live in Wang Li, Tongzi County, Zunyi, Guizhou. A few years later, the emperor moved the capital to Anlong in the late Ming Dynasty, and my ancestor Zhang Shida went west with the refugees and lived in Longjing, Maling, Xingyi County. I went to do business, married Liu and settled in Haizi Longjing, Xingren County.
Later, because he went to Mu's home to recruit relatives, he took his younger brother to take care of the four-wheel monument in Quanxin Village, Xinghua Township, Xingyi County, and became a Zunyi person in Guizhou. This ancient family tree later disappeared.
