Where is Zhang from?

It's hieroglyphics. It looks like the person to shoot. Zhang, a traditional Chinese character with eyes, consists of a bow and a long left and right side. When people surnamed Zhang introduce their surnames to others, they all say "bow", which shows that they attach great importance to the "bow" in surnames. From the perspective of philology, "bow" is also the core of the word "Zhang". Zhang Zi was not found in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, but there are many inscriptions on bronzes and stone tools, and their writing styles are also different. Although these words are written in different ways, they have a basic feature, that is, they cannot be separated from bows, arrows and lengths, especially bows. It can be said that without a bow, there is no Zhang. Judging from the evolution of glyphs, Zhang was originally a combination of bows and arrows. Bow and arrow are naturally combined into one. Where there is a bow, there must be a target, which need not be emphasized. So the arrow gradually withdrew and gave way to the longbow, and finally stabilized into a longbow complex. A long bow means that this bow is more powerful than an ordinary bow. Zhang Zi has many meanings. The New Chinese Dictionary has 2 1 meaning, and the general dictionary has more than ten meanings such as exaggeration, openness, strength, fullness, posting, reading, hope, expansion and arrangement. But most of them come from later generations, and the earliest dictionaries have few meanings. "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" said: "Zhang, bow string is also. From the bow, long sound. " Guangya Shi San: "Zhang," There is another meaning, which can be seen: "Luo takes birds and animals and says Zhang." He also said, "Zhang, set it up and set it as a machine trap to serve birds and animals." There are three main sources of Zhang's surname: after the Yellow Emperor, he took the wave as his ancestor. According to the genealogy of prime ministers in the book of the New Tang Dynasty, "the fifth son of Qingyang, the son of the Yellow Emperor, wielded a bow and arrow, and later generations gave him the surname Zhang." This Zhang clan was directly handed down by the Yellow Emperor, which originated in Qingyang near Jinci in the southwest of Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, and later in this area. Zhang surname is an ancient surname, which originated from a distant legendary era. It is said that Zhang's ancestor was called "Hua". He is the grandson of the Yellow Emperor (the fifth son of the Yellow Emperor) and a great inventor. He invented the bow and arrow and the net. Bows and arrows and nets, as new production tools at that time, enabled people to hunt more birds and animals, catch more fish and shrimp, and reduce the harm of wild animals to themselves. The clan and tribe to which Bo belongs have produced bows and arrows and fishing nets for generations, so his descendants take "Zhang" as their surname. The Yellow Emperor is Zhang's recognized blood ancestor and the leader of the Chinese tribal alliance in the ancient legend era. He ruled the world with virtue, benevolence, faith, selecting talents and appointing talents, and severely punishing stubborn killers, creating a prosperous time of singing and dancing. According to The Emperor's Century, the Yellow Emperor was born because his mother had a treasure attached to her. "(The Yellow Emperor) was born in Shouqiu, Jishui, Dede, Bear, and lives in the hill of Xuanyuan, so he thought it was a name because he was pregnant for 24 months." Based on this, later generations deduced two kinds of legends. One legend is that the Yellow Emperor was born when the Emperor of Heaven came down to earth. At that time, it was the Shennong era. Uncle Shennong had a son named Shaodian, who was the monarch of Xiongguo (in Xinzheng County, Henan Province). At that time, Shaodian clan was intermarrying with Youqiao clan. So Shaodian married Fu Bao, the daughter of (Bug Joe). One day, Shao Dian and Fu Bao went to work in the fields with wooden stakes. As they walked, it suddenly became dark and the sky was full of stars, just like at night. At this moment, Fu Bao looked up and saw a shining lightning revolving around the Big Dipper from time to time like a snake. In an instant, the field was covered with rich green light. Soon, Fu Bao only felt something move suddenly in her stomach, which scared her to make a hullabaloo about. Shaodian hurried back to ask questions, but she said nothing. After that, Fu Bao got pregnant. From the day of pregnancy, 24 months later, that is, one day in the third year, Fu Bao gave birth to a boy in Xuanyuan Mountain, northwest of Xinzheng (in Qufu, Shandong). Because I was born in Xuanyuan, I named my child Xuanyuan. Legend has it that Xuanyuan is born to talk and is very elf. When he was a child, he saw someone building a house on a tree and said, "Building a house on a tree is neither convenient nor safe. Wouldn't it be better to build a house on the ground? " Soon, Shennong heard about this view of the Yellow Emperor, which greatly disappointed him. So the Yellow Emperor built a house on the ground for him to see, and Shennong was convinced. Another legend is that Fu Bao and Shao Dian moved to Shouqiu in Qufu, Shandong Province shortly after they got married. One early winter night, Attached Bao went to the suburbs for a walk alone. She looked up at the starry sky and was homesick. Suddenly, a silver-white lightning appeared in the sky, turned around the pivot star in the Big Dipper several times, and then quickly disappeared from the sky to the ground. At this time, the surprised attached treasure suddenly felt a strange feeling on her. After a while, she realized that she was pregnant by lightning. Then, 24 months later, one day in the winter of the third year, the Yellow Emperor was born in Shouqiu. The newly born Yellow Emperor has a raised forehead, shaped like the sun, and a dragon's face. Its hands and feet are also like the claws and toes of a dragon. Stranger still, the Yellow Emperor has four faces. It is said that the Yellow Emperor can look around anytime and anywhere, listen to all directions, observe and understand everything, so as to better cooperate with the camera. The Yellow Emperor was born babbling and could walk soon. He left Shouqiu at the age of ten, studied under his teacher, and traveled around famous mountains and rivers. Huangdi lived in the primitive clan commune era. At that time, the social structure of China was represented by clans-tribes composed of several clans-tribal alliances composed of several tribes. Clans, tribes and tribal alliances often have wars for their own interests. At first, the Yellow Emperor was only the leader of the tribe named Ji. In the long-term campaign, he gradually established his prestige, and finally completed the rule of other tribes and sat on the throne of the tribal alliance leader. The wars with Emperor Yan, Chiyou and Xingtian were three milestones of Huangdi's road to leadership. According to documents, Huang and Yan Di are brothers, and Mandarin says, "Once upon a time, the young couple married Jiao Jia and gave birth to the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di. The Yellow Emperor was made of water, and the Yan Emperor was made of Jiang Shui. Merits are different, so the Yellow Emperor is a discipline, a ginger, ... Different surnames, different virtues, different virtues. " "New Book Benefiting the Earth" said: "Yandi and Huangdi's half-brother each have half the world." When the Yellow Emperor became the leader of the Ji tribe and began to flourish, the tribe had embarked on the road of weakness and decline. Clans conquered each other and oppressed the people, but Yan Di could not calm the war and protect his subjects, so the Yellow Emperor rose up and taught the people to use war to collect cruelty. So all clans came to worship and submit to the Yellow Emperor. Emperor Yan's move to Zhuolu (Zhuolu, Hebei, Yuncheng, Shanxi) is still a big event. History says that "without relatives, without standing, the wise are chilling" (Yi Zhou Shu Shi Ji). It is in this case that the Yellow Emperor once again "cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's nature" and decided to fight against Emperor Yan in Zhuolu. According to documents, the allied clans and tribes led by the Yellow Emperor, with bears, scorpions, wolves, leopards, tigers as totems, waved battle flags made of birds of the week, cuckoos, eagles, kites and other feathers, violently attacked Zhuolu, and Emperor Yan retreated to Hanquan in the east of the city. After a bloody battle, Huang "killed Emperor Yan and did whatever he wanted", so "the world ruled". The defeated Yan Di tribes were forced to migrate to the south and east, intertwined with the Miao Man Group in the Yangtze River valley, and gradually merged. The victory of Huangyan War established Huangdi's leadership over the middle reaches of the Yellow River, which belonged to Yandi's sphere of influence, and made him the leader of the tribal alliances in the Central Plains (known as the "Central Emperor" in history). Later, it was named Zhang by the Light Hag. There are three branches: one is Li, the other is Li, and the third is Jade Bird. The male family of Katz takes the mysterious bird as the totem, and its three clans are collectively called "Sanke family", also known as Sanqing bird family. They regard Juzi as their ancestor and respectfully call him "issam" or "issam Na", while the leaders of all branches call him "Elymus". The master of the mysterious women, Kouye, is old and lives in Weak Water in the south of Helishan Mountain (now the north of Zhangye City in Gansu Province). His clan, also known as Kuikun, has a wide range of branches. One of them moved northward along the weak water, extending outward from Juyanhai (now remaining Gashunnuoer Lake) and Rouge Mountain (also known as Yanran Mountain, now Longshou Mountain and Hangai Mountain in Altai Mountains), and scattered in the Serenger River, Erhun River and Ergon River (the source of the upper reaches of Heilongjiang), a tributary of Lake Baikal. One moved westward along the northern foot of Altai Mountain to Eastern Europe. A Wulungu Lake moved from weak water to the southern foot of Altai Mountain, and entered Junggar Basin and Tarim Basin along Yili River and Alatao Mountain. Munoye Lao, a young woman with a beard, lives in Fangleize (now Linze County, Zhangye City, Gansu Province, which has dried up) in the weak water basin at the south foot of Helishan Mountain, and branches from Pangu Branch of Fanglei and lives in Gulang (now Gulang County, Wuwei City, Gansu Province). Its branch moves eastward to Helan Mountain in the east of the West Sea, jumps northward into Yanran Mountain and Lake Baikal, and joins the old branch of Levin. The other branch enters the Luanhe River basin and the Northeast Plain from Yinshan to the east. One enters Beiluoshui from Liupanshui, adjacent to the old river system in Xiao Ye. Guangyang Yelao was renamed Zhang, and (now Zhangye City, Gansu Province) was built in Nord. The other branch was later named Yang, and Yuancheng (also known as Xuancheng) was built in the upper reaches of Huanjiang River. The descendants of Konoha developed along the Sanggan River and its tributary Huang Shuihe, moved to Hunhe River and Liu Hu, with its capital in Daiwangcheng (now Yuxian County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province), and then moved to Jianwu Luocheng (also known as Charlotte, now Zhuolu County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province). Suiren, an old branch of Levin, entered Hebei Province eastward along Taihang Mountain, with its capital in Lingshou (now Lingshou County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province) and its capital in Puyin (also known as Wanxian County, now Shunping County, Baoding City, Hebei Province). Later, he moved northward to Dawangdian, with its capital in Suicheng (now xushui county, Baoding City, Hebei Province), and set up Lingtai (now Wujitai) in the center of heaven and earth.
