Textual research on the origin of Chang family
There are four main sources of Chang surname: Gu Changguo, Ji surname (Changyi, Shandong), Ji surname (Yanling, Jiangsu) and Mi surname.
The first expenditure has existed in China since ancient times. According to legend, the kingdom of Changhou existed in the era of the Yellow Emperor, and the ministers of the Yellow Emperor, Chang Xian and Chang Yi, were descendants of the ancient kingdom of Changhou. Although the history of Chang's surname is very long, there is no information about Chang's activities in Xia and Shang Dynasties, and Gu's descendants have lost news. It was only in the Spring and Autumn Period that there was a trace. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a place where Changyi was invincible, in the north of Juxian County, where Changyi lived.
The second expenditure comes from Ji's surname. After the destruction of the Shang Dynasty, he named his mother and brother Kang, called Kang Shufeng, in Shao Kang, an ancient city in the northwest of Yuzhou, Wang Xia. When he was transferred to Wei, the history was called Wei Kangshu. Weiguo was first built in the suburb of Chao Ge, the capital of Shang Dynasty, in the northeast of Qixian County, Henan Province. Wei Kangshu's descendants live on food. Today, in the southeast of Tengzhou, Shandong Province, their descendants take Yi as their surname. The long surname of Ji has a history of at least 3000 years.
The third branch originated from the surname Ji. The ancestor of the State of Wu was Tai Bohe, the uncle of Ji Chang, the king of Zhou. The king of Wu named his descendants after Chang, the ancient city of Yanling where Wu Xianzu once lived, and his descendants took Yi as their surname.
The fourth one comes from a surname. After Dr. Chu's constant thinking, he became constant and constant. In the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to avoid Zhao Heng's taboo, all the constant surnames in the world were changed to constant surnames.
