According to the statistics of the Ministry of Public Security, the most populous family name is Zhang in the third place, there are 87.502 million people, accounting for 6.83% of the total population of the country. Edit this section to get the surname ancestor Zhang wave. The birth of the surname Zhang is very ancient, about five thousand years old. In the era of Huangdi, the first ancestor of humanities, Huangdi had a son named Shaohao, the founder of the surname Zhang, Zhang wave Hao Qingyang clan, the son of Shaohao, wave from a young age, intelligent, love to use their brains. Once, he watched the night sky and was inspired by the combination of stars, and after research, he invented the bow. At that time, human beings basically hunted for a living, and the invention of the bow was a great event, so the Yellow Emperor appointed Wave as an official specializing in the manufacture of bows, called "Bow Zheng", also known as "Bow Chief", and gave him the name "Zhang" by combining the names of officials into one. He was also given the surname "Zhang" by combining the official names into one. Zhang Ban became the first ancestor of the Zhang family name. It is also said that the ancestor of the Zhang surname was "Wave", who was the grandson of the Yellow Emperor (or the son of the Yellow Emperor), and a great inventor who invented the bow and arrow and the netting (gu). The bow and arrows and the net net as the new production tools at that time, so that people can hunt more birds and animals, catch more fish and shrimp, but also be able to reduce the fierce beasts to their own harm. The tribe of which WANG was a member had been producing bows and arrows and netting for generations, so his descendants took "Zhang" as their family name. The recognized ancestor of the Zhang family, Emperor Huangdi, was the leader of the Huaxia tribal alliance in the ancient legendary era. He ruled the world with virtue, benevolence, and faith, selecting the wise and capable, and punishing the stubborn and fierce, and created a peaceful and prosperous world of song and dance.

Zai Xiang lineage table" and other historical records of the family name, although slightly different, but all advocate for the grandson of the Yellow Emperor said, which said: Zhang's family name from the Ji, the Yellow Emperor's son of the lesser Hao Qingyang's fifth son of the wave for the bow, the beginning of the creation of the bow and vector, the real Zhang Luo to take the beasts and fowls, the main sacrifice arc star, the world in charge of its position, the given name of the Zhang's. The later generations of Zhang's descendants of the repair. Later generations of Zhang's descendants of the Zhang family tree, Zhang genealogy have followed this statement. Qing dynasty qianlong jinyin repair yuyitang version "zhang family tree" volume three "received the origin of the family name kao" cloud: "zhang's from the yellow emperor xuan yuan's, born young hao jintian's, and the number of qingyang's, the fifth son of the wave began to make vector, the official for the bow is the main sacrifice to the arc star, the world in charge of its position, given the name zhang's." Holding Zhang waved the son of the Yellow Emperor said "Guang Yun" (the lower flat sound ten Yang), Ma cheating "deduction of history", etc., Zhang's descendants of the Zhang genealogy also has a lot to agree with this statement.

The originator of the Zhang family name, WANG, also got his name based on the above principles. Although in the Zhang wave is the son or grandson of the Yellow Emperor on this issue, the ancient literature holds one end, but specific to the Zhang wave himself, there is no major differences, are recognized as the production of the bow and vector, the official bow, the basic facts of the ritual arc star. However, careful readers will also be found in the literature cited by us, the record of the Zhang wave of the family name, there is a "view of the arc of the system vector, given the name of Zhang", "the beginning of the production of the bow and vector, the official as the bow, the main ritual arc star, the world in charge of its duties, given the name of Zhang" and "" long bow and vector nature, good at the Zhang wave himself. The nature of the long bow and vector, good ZhangZhangLuo, hereditary position, because of the granting of the surname Zhang" and other minor differences. Based on this, we can say that the surname Wangzhi was given to Zhang because of his skill or occupation, or because of his official position, or because of his official position.

From a philological point of view, "bow" for "Zhang" character is also in the core position. The character Zhang has not been found in oracle bone inscriptions, but there are many in jinwen and stone inscriptions, and their writing styles are different. Although these Zhang characters are written in different ways, they have one basic feature, that is, they are inseparable from bow, vector, long, especially from bow, and it can be said that there is no Zhang without bow. In terms of the evolution of the character, Zhang was first a combination of bow and vector. Bow and vector are naturally associated, if there is a bow, there will be a vector, no need to emphasize, so later the vector gradually withdrew and gave way to the long, and finally stabilized as a combination of the long bow. The long bow then indicates that this bow is even more powerful and mighty than the average bow. The Shuo Wen Jie Zi says: "Zhang, applying the bowstring is also. From bow, long sound." Guangya - Shiyi San: "Zhang, Shi also." There is also another meaning, which is found in Zhou Li - Qiuguan: "To take birds and beasts is said to be Zhang."

Both of these statements explain the origin and reproduction of the Zhang family name, which has become the third largest family name today. The first is that the Zhang surname has a long history and was one of the earliest surnames in China, and was highly regarded. In the primitive clan society, hunting for people to make a living for the extremely important means, the status and role of the bow and vector can be imagined. And at that time, less of the Dongyi clan clan reproduction is very prosperous, all over the present Shandong Peninsula, north of Jiangsu and the vast area between the Yangtze River and Huaihuai; According to legend, the Shang dynasty clan is its direct descendants. Second, the Zhang family name is widely distributed, Jin has this name, with the three sub-Jin and all over the Zhao, Han, Wei three countries, that is, today's North China, the central plains of the vast area. There are many people were given the surname Zhang; such as the Three Kingdoms Zhu Geliang gave Long You Na for Zhang; Cao Wei general Zhang Liao, the original surname Nie, after the surname Zhang. Non-Han people also changed their surnames to Zhang quite a lot. Jin Dynasty Tejia's, because of generations living in Zhang Huangbao, will be Zhang as a surname. Yuan dynasty Mongolia, color people have a lot of people change their surnames to Han, often choose the Han people change the big name, but also for the Zhang family name to expand the population.
