Zhang, which is composed of long bow characters, originally means a winding bow. The Book of Songs? Xiaoya? Auspicious day of the zodiac: When you open my bow, it means opening. "Zhou Li? Qiu Guan: Luo takes birds and beasts and says Zhang. When people surnamed Zhang introduce themselves, they all say that the bow is long, which shows that the origin of Zhang is related to the bow. In ancient Chinese characters in China, there are more than ten kinds of Zhang Zi's evolution, or the combination of man and bow, bow and arrow, or bow and long, all of which are inseparable from the bow character, so the origin of Zhang's surname is directly related to the invention of bow and arrow.
The origin of Zhang's surname was first recorded in Yuan He's Compilation in the Tang Dynasty: Zhang, the fifth son of the Yellow Emperor, was born in Qingyang and waved as a bow. The bow and arrow were made by watching the arc stars, and the worship of the arc stars was mainly due to his surname Zhang. Jie's family in the Northern Song Dynasty said: Zhang came from the fifth son of Xuanyuan, who started the string arc and took the bird from the net. I thought it was my last name. New Tang book? List of prime ministers' genealogy: Zhang surnamed Ji, the fifth son of Qingyang, the son of the Yellow Emperor, wielded bows and arrows, and later generations gave him the surname Zhang. Whether this swing is the son or grandson of the Yellow Emperor, the son of the Wu Qingyang family or the son of the Xuanyao Qingyang family, it can be explained that this swing is the ancestor of the Zhang family just by making bows and arrows and making strings and arcs.
There seems to be not enough evidence that he is the son of the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor has 25 sons. Famous ones are Xiao Xuan, Changyi, Yigu, Canglin, Longmiao, Yuguo and Xiu Qing. There is no record of the fifth son waving. There is something wrong with saying that you are Shao Hao's son. Because Shao Hao was the legendary leader of ancient Dongyi, and Shao Hao was famous for his loyalty. Dongyi people take birds as their ambition. According to legend, he once took the bird as the official name, that is, his descendants in the Spring and Autumn Period (see Ci Hai? Not so embarrassed "). Shan Hai Jing? "Wild East longitude" says: Beyond the East China Sea, there is a Grand Canyon, which is the State of Shao Hao. Zuozhuan? "Seventeen Years of Zhao Gong" says: A few birds stand, and the phoenix bird is suitable. So discipline is for birds, and birds are named after birds. In fact, a hundred schools of thought contend is a bird, and a few schools of thought contend is the king of birds. Shao Hao and Huangdi don't belong to the same tribe, so are they the sons of Huangdi?
Then, he should be the grandson of the Yellow Emperor and the son of Qingyang family in Xiao Xuan for two reasons: First, historical records? The Chronicle of the Five Emperors contains twenty-five sons, fourteen people and their surnames of the Yellow Emperor. Suoyin is twelve surnames, including Ji, You, Qi, Ji, Teng, Zhen, Ren, Gou, Nuo, Yi and Yi. That is to say, among the 25 sons of the Yellow Emperor, there are 14 whose surnames are 12 respectively. There is no Zhang surname among them, which proves that he is not the son of the Yellow Emperor. Moreover, Historical Records, which was earlier than New Tang Book, did not say that Huangdi gave birth to Shao Hao, but that Huangdi was a princess who gave birth to two sons. First, Xuantao, Qingyang, gave her last name; One is Changyi, and Changyi gave birth to Levin (Zhuan Xu). Hanshu? The ancient and modern people's table, also known as the Yellow Emperor's concubine, is Qingyang; Princess Huangdi was born in Changyi Changyi was born in Zhuan Xu. Zhuan Xu, grandson of the Yellow Emperor, son of Changyi, also known as Levin. According to ancient legends, the tearful father was Xuantao Qingyang, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, and Zhuan Xu was a contemporary. So to some extent, it can be considered that Zhuan Xu's scope of activities is also the scope of activities.
The Chronology of Bamboo Slips says that Zhuan Xu lives in Pu; Historical records? "Biography of Five Emperors" also said that Zhuan Xu is the capital of Qiu, and Puyang, the Oriental County, is today; Han Shu again? Geography: Puyang, Dongjun, Gudiqiu. So, Zhuan Xu's residence and capital are in Diqiu, which is today's Puyang.
To sum up, Zhang is the grandson of the Yellow Emperor who invented bows and arrows, and was named Gong Zheng (official name) by Emperor Zhuan Xu, also known as Zhang. Therefore, Zhang Zugen should be in Puyang, Henan Province today.
