Who knows the origin of the Zheng family?

1. The surname Zheng Liuyuan

The surname Zheng is the 23rd most common surname in China today and the 12th most common surname in Taiwan.

The surname Zheng comes from the surname Ji. It was born in the state of Zheng and is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. In the early history of China, the surname Zheng once created brilliant achievements. More than 5,000 years ago, Emperor Xuanyuan took Jishui as his surname and built the capital with Xiong. Later, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Wugong and Zheng Wengong also established their capitals with Xiong. Houji, the fifth generation grandson of the Yellow Emperor, is the blood ancestor of the Zheng surname. Jichang, the 19th generation grandson of the Yellow Emperor, was the Xibo of the Shang Dynasty. Jichang's son Ji Fa destroyed the Shang Dynasty, established the Zhou Dynasty, and became King Wu of Zhou. Therefore, the Zheng family is a descendant of the Zhou Dynasty royal family.

In 807 BC, King Xuan of Zhou Jing named his half-brother Ji You in Zheng (now Huaxian County, Shaanxi Province) as the king of a third-class vassal state, with the country name "Zheng", and the State of Zheng was born. Therefore, Ji You was called Zheng Huangong. When King You of Zhou Dynasty arrived, Duke Huan of Zheng assumed the position of Situ and was in charge of education. Seeing that King You of Zhou was mediocre and unruly, doting favors on his concubine, re-employing treacherous ministers, intensifying royal conflicts, intertwining internal and external troubles, and foreseeing that chaos was about to happen, Duke Huan of Zheng asked Tai Shibo for advice on how to protect himself. Tai Shibo believed that east of Luoshui, the Yellow River The land to the south is rich and the transportation is convenient. Duke Huan listened to Tai Shigong's suggestion and settled his family and important property there. Later, Duke Huan of Zheng died in the "Quirong Rebellion", and a place called "Jing" between Guo and Ho was known in history as "Guo and Ho". The following year, the "Quin Rong Rebellion" broke out in the Western Zhou royal family. Duke Huan died for the country, and his son dug up the throne and became Zheng Wugong. Later, Duke Wu of Zheng took the opportunity to escort King Ping of Zhou to move eastward, and successfully destroyed Guo and He successively, and established the new Zheng State. The State of Zheng was destroyed by South Korea in 375 BC, and its people used the name of the country as their surname. Their descendants were spread between Chen and Song Dynasty, and their surnames were named Zheng after the name of the original country.

The earliest birthplace of the Zheng family was Xingyang City in present-day Henan Province and then Xinzheng City. During the Warring States Period, due to the destruction of Korea, they dispersed and moved to eastern Henan, Shandong, Anhui and other places. 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. 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 the clothes and clothes of the eight tribes began to enter Fujian", among which 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.
