■Origin of the surname

The main source of the surname Zheng (Zhèng Zheng) is one of the five major surnames in China. There are three sources:

1. From the surname Ji, After the Yellow Emperor's descendant Houji, the country was named after his surname. According to relevant materials such as "New Tang Book: Genealogy Table of Prime Ministers" and "Compilation of Yuanhe Surnames", the earliest blood ancestor of the Zheng surname is Huangdi, and the ancestor of the surname is Zheng Huangong who lived in the Western Zhou Dynasty. In 806 BC, King Zhou Xuan granted his younger brother Ji You to Zheng (east of Huaxian County, Shaanxi Province, lived in Chulin, and moved to Shi), and established the Zheng Kingdom, known as Zheng Huan Gong in history. The Zheng Kingdom moved eastward to Xinzheng in 769 BC and was destroyed by South Korea in 375 BC. It was founded 432 years ago and lasted for thirteen generations. After the fall of the country, the Zheng people traveled between the Chen and Song Dynasties. In order to commemorate their homeland, they named themselves Zheng, so they got the surname Zheng.

2. From the change of his surname. In addition to the above, people with the surname Zheng today have other origins. For example, Zheng Zhu in the Tang Dynasty whose surname was Yu, and Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty whose surname was Ma (see "3" below), both changed their surname to Zheng for different reasons. Today, there are also some ethnic minorities with the surname Zheng. The origin of their surname and lineage must be different.

3. The Hui people have the surname Zheng. According to "Huang Ming Da Zheng Ji", the surname Zheng among the Hui people is the surname given by the emperor. Zheng He, the eunuch and navigator of the Ming Dynasty, was the son of Ma Suhu, the fifth son of Sai Dianchi and Gansi Ding. Zheng He was originally from Kunyang, Yunnan Province, and his original name was Ma He. In the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1381), Zheng He, who was only 12 years old, was captured by the Ming army that invaded Yunnan and was sent to the mansion of King Yan to serve as a young eunuch serving Zhu Di. In the first year of Jianwen (1399), the 29-year-old Zheng He "raised troops from King Yan to quell Jingnan, went in and out of battle formations, and performed many extraordinary feats." Therefore, he was given the surname "Zheng". The emperor gave the surname Zheng mainly because of his outstanding performance in the battle of Zhengcunba (now Dongba, Beijing) during the "Battle of Jingnan", so he was given the surname "Zheng". Later, Zheng He adopted the eldest son of his brother Ma Wenming, named him Ci, and the family became the Zheng family. The Zheng family currently living in Nanjing has been in existence for more than 20 generations. The Hui people surnamed Zheng are mainly distributed in Yunnan and Jiangsu.

The ancestor who got the surname: Ji You. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Zhou Li's youngest son You and King Zhou Xuan were half-brothers. Twenty-two years after he ascended the throne (806 BC), King Xuan of Zhou granted you a title in Zheng (east of today's Huaxian County, Shaanxi Province), and you named him Duke Huan of Zheng. Zheng was the last vassal state established in the Western Zhou Dynasty. During the reign of King You of Zhou Dynasty, Duke Huan of Zheng saw that King You was immoral, the princes were powerful, and the royal power was falling apart. He had a premonition that there would be trouble, so he moved his property, tribes and people to the two vassal states of Dongguo and He in central Henan. After Zheng Huan Gong's son Wu Gong came to the throne, he took the opportunity to escort King Ping to move east to Luoyang. He successively occupied the lands of the two countries and established the Zheng State in the Xinzheng area. In 375 BC, the Zheng State was destroyed by South Korea, and the Zheng clan's public officials and clans moved out one after another. They took the country as their surname and called it the Zheng family. Respect Jiyou as the ancestor of those with the surname Zheng.

■Migration Distribution

The earliest birthplace of the Zheng family was at the junction of Kaifeng, Zhoukou and Shangqiu in Henan, that is, "between the Chen and Song Dynasties" recorded in history. After the fall of Zheng, one of the people named Zheng who lived in Korea was named Zheng Guo. He was sent to Qin by the king of Han and was ordered by the king of Qin to dig the "Zheng Guo Canal", which was famous for later generations. Zheng Guo was not only a great water conservancy expert, but also the first famous person after people with the surname Zheng got their surname. During the Qin Dynasty, the 19th generation Sun Zheng moved Sizhou to Luoyang, Henan. The 27th generation grandson Zheng Qi moved his family back to Xingyang, Kaifeng (located in Gucheng Village, Zhuxian Town, Kaifeng County, east of Kaifeng City). After the Qin and Han Dynasties, people with the Zheng surname have moved into neighboring areas, mainly in today's Shandong, Anhui, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other areas. Later, the 29th generation grandson Zheng Bin lived in Gaomi, Shandong. An Shi, son of the 31st generation grandson Zheng Zhong, moved to Xianyang. Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered that "big clans with strong clans are not allowed to live together", 24 generations of Sun Nan moved to Shanyin in Kuaiji, Zhejiang. The large-scale migration of the Zheng family to the south began during the "Yongjia Rebellion". In the second year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty, "the Central Plains were shaken, and clothes and clothes began to enter the eight ethnic groups in Fujian." Among them, the fourth surname was Zheng. In the early Tang Dynasty, another member of the Zheng family from Henan immigrated to Fujian with Chen Zheng, Chen Yuanguang and his son. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Zheng family from Henan Province followed Wang Chao and Wang Shenzhi into Fujian. The ancestors of the famous national hero Zheng Chenggong during the Ming and Qing Dynasties entered Fujian this time.

The migration of the Zheng family to Taiwan began with Zheng Chenggong; in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Zheng surname developed again brilliantly, leading the way in the fields of Confucianism, thought, culture, science and technology, and making many achievements. A large number of celebrities and senior officials emerged, forming the Zheng surname in Jiangsu, Jiangsu and Hope tribes appeared in Hunan, Hebei, Guizhou, Guangdong, Anhui and other places, and their members spread to various provinces and even overseas. Zheng surnamed Bo moved overseas, starting in the Qing Dynasty, and is now distributed in Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Canada, the United States and other countries. The surname Zheng is now widely distributed in our country, especially in the southern region. Fujian and Zhejiang are the two provinces with the most people surnamed Zheng, accounting for the majority of the population with the surname Zheng in the country. It can be said that the surname Zheng is a relatively typical southern surname. The surname Zheng is the 23rd most common surname in China today.
