The population of this surname is nearly 100 million, and there has been no emperor for more than 2,000 years in ancient times, but after the founding of the country, some people have called him emperor
Chinese surname culture has a long history. In the distant mythological era, after the female snail kneaded the loess to create a man, her brother Fuxi taught people to make fishing nets and hunt, and taught people to live in houses. At the same time, there is another very important humanistic measure: in order to maintain social order, he took the following steps. "Right surname, no marriage" established The earliest surname and marriage law in China, making people's behavior in society seem less chaotic.
Since the establishment of the surname, this custom has been passed down. During the later period, the so-called "eight surnames" appeared.
Zhang's ancestor Zhang Hui was the fifth son of the Yellow Emperor's eldest son. When he was young, he was very fond of looking up at the stars, but he did not think much about philosophical questions. He was only interested in the laws of change in interstellar orbits. He was mesmerized by the magical movement of the stars. As a result, after observing the sky for a long time, Zhang Hui found that in the southeast direction of Sirius, there was actually an arc star formed by the stars. Eight of them are arc-shaped, and the other largest star is like a sharp arrow.
Inspired by this, bows and arrows are made according to the shape of an arc-shaped sagittal star. We know that bows and arrows have been controlled weapons of mass destruction in ancient times, not to mention in ancient tribal times. This was an innovative invention, so Zhang Hua had great merits and was named "Bow Chief" by the Yellow Emperor, that is, the officer in charge of the bow and arrow, in the Qing River.
Later, according to the official title of the ancestors, the descendants of the Zhang clan multiplied from generation to generation, so there is a saying that "the Zhang family came out of Qinghe", because first of all, they had to live and work in Qinghe. Today, the population of Zhang surname has reached nearly 100 million, ranking third in the national surname population ranking. It's a well-deserved surname.
After all, the reason why China has so many big surnames, such as Li, Liu, Zhao, etc., is because their ancestors were emperors for a long time in ancient times. However, although the surname Zhang was populous, it did not appear as an emperor in ancient times. On the contrary, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, in Dabashan, Bazhong County, Sichuan Province, a man named Zhang Qing'an "ascended the throne and became emperor." He not only privately produced the "Jade Seal", "General Seal", and "Zai Chancellor Seal", but also drafted complete legal documents and led the army. But in the end it was caught and became a popular joke.
Zhang surname does have a lot of talent. Although he was never an emperor, according to legend, the Jade Emperor who ruled the sky was named Zhang Youren. It is precisely because of the "Divine Emperor" that the status of "Emperor Wen" is not wanted. In ancient times, there were many sages, such as Zhang Jiuling.
