According to the "Stele of Hou Xiang, the Chief of the Valley in the Han Dynasty" and "The Hou family, after Cangjie", the history book calls Cangjie the historian of the Yellow Emperor and the founder of Chinese characters. It is said that he was from Nanle County, Henan Province today. 0 said: His surname is Hou Gang and his given name is Jie. One of his descendants lives in Fengyiya County, referred to as the Hou family. In 2000, there was a tribe among the Xianbei people with the compound surname "Hou Zhu Chen".
