Zeng surname is a traditional Han surname, which originally originated in the northwest of Lanling County (Cangshan County) in Linyi City, Shandong Province. Xia Wang Shaokang gave his youngest son Qu Lie a fief as a viscount kingdom, which was called the Ziguo. After the destruction of the country of Zhi, the Prince Wu of Zhi went out to the neighboring country of Lu, and took the original country name "Zhi" as his surname, but removed the "Yi" to indicate that he left his old city and did not forget his ancestors, so he was called "Zeng".

Origin:

Zeng's surname originated in the northwest of Lanling County, Shandong Province. In the pre-Qin period, the descendants of Zeng who fled to Lu were officials in Lu, and they survived in this way. At the same time, they spread to the surrounding areas, making Zeng's people spread all over Shandong, Hebei and other places.

during the Qin and Han dynasties, people surnamed Zeng were always known as "filial piety", and were honored as "saints" by feudal rulers. Sun Zengle, the eldest son of Zeng Shen, was once the Duke of Shanyin County in the Western Han Dynasty, and Huan, the son of Zeng Le, had two sons: Xu and Guang. Sun Zhuan, the fourth generation of Guang, looked forward to Fufeng (now southeast of Xingping, Shaanxi Province) as a house for Fufeng, and his second sons Yu and Chang moved to Jizhou (now Ji County, Hebei Province) and Qingzhou (now northeast of Zibo City, Shandong Province) respectively.
