Exploring the origin of Zhang surname
Zhang is one of the most popular surnames in China. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "Zhang Wang, Li Zhao and Liu are everywhere", and Zhang ranks first. Contemporary, according to the census, Zhang's population at home and abroad exceeds
Billion, slightly less than Li He, is the third largest surname in China.
About the origin of Zhang's surname, there are many records in historical books of past dynasties, and most of them are masterpieces of everyone. Among them, The Book of the World (Qin Jiamo's Supplement) was written by historians during the Warring States Period.
He said: "Zhang, the fifth son of the Yellow Emperor, was born in Qingyang. He stood upright as a bow, made bows and arrows by observing the arc stars, and worshipped the arc stars because of his surname Zhang." Lin Bao, a historian of the Tang Dynasty, served Tang Xian.
On the basis of "poor research on old history" and "detailed genealogy", Zhao Zong wrote Yuan He Shi Bian. The book's account of the origin of Zhang surname and Shi Ben
Exactly the same. In addition, there are Ouyang Xiu's Book of the New Tang Dynasty, the genealogy of the Prime Minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, his surname Ji, and Deng's surname in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Dialectics of Books, Textual Research on Zhang's Genealogy, etc. These history books are basically the same as those in Shi Ben and Yuan He Shi Bian.
Consistent. The description of the origin of Zhang's surname in Shiben Yuanhe's Compilation of Surnames accords with the historical reality and clarifies three major problems: First, it clarifies the origin of Zhang's surname.
Ancestors are waves: the second is to clarify the life experience of waves, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor and the son of Qingyang; Third, it is clear that the fundamental reason for winning the surname is that "bows and arrows are made by watching arc stars."
Historians of all dynasties have the same understanding about whether Zhang's ancestors were Hui. Only the historians of the Southern Song Dynasty put forward the view of "the ancestor of Zhang" in Tongzhi Imperial Clan III.
Xie Zhang said. "He said," according to the state of Jin, there is a word. Since then, there has been a Zhang in the state of Jin, undoubtedly because of the word "Zhang". "Zhang Zhang is located in where?
The era is in the Spring and Autumn Period. As early as the West Zhou Xuanwang era, there was a man named Zhong Zhang, who was famous for his filial piety to his parents. "The Book of Songs Xiaoya June": "Who is Guan, Zhang?
Zhong Xiaoyou "is to praise him. Therefore, the theory that "Zhang's ancestors explained Zhang" is not "not suspicious", but simply cannot be established! About waving as the "Yellow Emperor"
The description of Sun Tzu and the Son of Qingyang, referring to ancient and modern historical books, is quite controversial, but many people hold this view. Zuo Qiuming, a historian in the Spring and Autumn Period, wrote Mandarin Today;
"Twenty-five sons of the Yellow Emperor, surnamed fourteen, are twelve surnames (both are Ji surnames and two are their surnames), Ji, Ji, You, Qi, Teng, Zhen, Ren,
Xun, Nuo, Yi, Xian, Yi also. Mandarin is one of the oldest history books in China. The description of the surname of the son of the Yellow Emperor in Guoyu is us.
The earliest classical records that can be seen now are quite authoritative. As can be seen from this account, among the twelve surnames obtained by the son of the Yellow Emperor, there is no Zhang surname, which has actually been ruled out.
As the son of the Yellow Emperor, he naturally admitted that he was the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, and ruled out the theory that Zhang was the surname given by the Yellow Emperor. Because. The fundamental reason for waving surname is his first name.
Making bows and arrows was indeed a great invention at that time. As the son of the Yellow Emperor, it is impossible not to praise his great contribution.
Yes As for the theory of Qingyang's son, most historians of past dynasties have the same understanding, only Ouyang Xiu's Book of the New Tang Dynasty and the Prime Minister's Lineage Table of the Northern Song Dynasty and Wang Yinglin's Book of the Prime Minister's Lineage in the Southern Song Dynasty.
It is inappropriate to add the word "Shao Hao" before Qingyang. Because, at that time, there were two Qingyang, one was Qingyang in Xiao Xuan, and the other was Qing in Shao Hao.
Yang. According to the research results of contemporary national history, Shao Hao is Dongyi, not the blood of the Yellow Emperor, and his lingering father can only be Qingyang, Xiao Xuan.
Mr. He Guangyue, a contemporary scholar of ethnic origin, expounded "the son of Qingyang family of Huawei", which provided an important basis for studying the ethnic origin of Zhang. Famous family history
After years of research and textual research, expert Mr. Xie confirmed that Zhang's surname originated in Puyang. According to his research results, Henan Dongyang Film and Television Company was named Zhang in 1992.
Originated in Puyang, he filmed the first episode of China Baijia surname series "The Origin of Zhang", which was broadcast on domestic and foreign TV stations such as Henan TV Station and CCTV.
