In the pre-Qin period, the state of Zheng perished and the family entered Sichuan.

During the Warring States period, Zheng was destroyed by South Korea. Zheng adherents took the country as their surname and moved to Henan, Shandong, Anhui and other places, and some of them began to enter Sichuan. Due to the long history and lack of historical materials, it is impossible to verify where Zheng, who first moved to Sichuan, lived. However, according to Deyang A Zheng's genealogy, they are descendants of Zheng Guo, a disciple of Zheng Bang, a 72-year-old Confucius student.

At that time, the influential A Zheng family was the Lu Zheng family in Nanli County who migrated between Chen and Song Dynasties. Lu Zheng's son, Zheng Cong, became a doctor in Wei. Zheng, the son of Zheng Xuan, is the new doctor of Wei. Zheng Anping, Zheng's son, had no regrets. He first worked for Wei, then took him to the State of Qin, where he was named as the marquis and general in Shanhaiguan pass. Zheng Anping led a battle with Zhao and was trapped in Zhao, sealing Wu Yangjun.

Zheng Anping's son did not follow his father to surrender to Zhao and returned to Wei to continue to be an official. Zheng Hui's eldest son, Zheng Changyuan, was the magistrate of Wuxian County of Qin State, and later fought with Xiang Yu in Qin State. He was named Hanwang and stationed in Xingyang. After Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, he sent Han Xin to attack Xingyang, and Zheng Chang surrendered to Korea.

And the Zhou family who stayed in Xingyang. After Zheng destroyed the south, in order to stabilize the hearts and minds of Zheng's adherents, Zheng Zhou's son was named the Army of Building the Earth (Taoyangjun). Because our mausoleum is in the area of Yaoshan (now Guangwu Mountain in Henan Province), we sealed the desolate land south of Yaoshan to Zheng, and asked him to keep offering sacrifices to the mausoleum.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Gong Zheng of Guanghan launched an uprising at the end of the Western Han Dynasty.

During this period, China ushered in a unified society, and the society was relatively stable. After years of gaining momentum, the Zheng family broke out and reached its peak, entered the noble family period, and moved around with the Central Plains as the center.

After Zheng Chang returned to Liu Bang, he made great contributions to the reunification of Liu Bang. Sun Zheng, the grandson of Zheng Chang, was an official of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty and was named Regent. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he successively served as Ji 'nan Taishou, Jiangdu Xiang, Youwen Shi and Dasinong, and was honored as Zheng Zhuang.

Party history of Zheng suffered a great disaster in his later years. When recommending a wise man, he made a mistake because he listened to other people's rumors and was impeached and convicted. His family redeemed him through connections, but he lost his official position and became a civilian. Soon, it was reused as the satrap of Runan. During his tenure, Zheng Dangshi died and there was no money at home. The funeral was supported by relatives and friends.

After entering the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zheng Xing, the descendant of Zheng Dangdai, was appointed as the famous Confucian scholar General Jingnan. Zheng Xing's son Zheng Zhong was appointed as a senior farmer and sent to Xiongnu. Because he effectively safeguarded the dignity of the Han Dynasty, the official worshipped the corps commander. Moreover, Joe Cheng inherited his father's career and devoted himself to studying Confucian classics after work, becoming a famous Confucian scholar.

In the study of Confucian classics, Joe Cheng was a famous scholar, but at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, another person in the Zheng family was named Zheng Xuan, who was better at Confucian classics. At that time, it was great for a scholar to study a classic book all his life. The classics studied and annotated by Zheng Xuan include The Book of Changes, Poems, Books, The Book of Rites, The Analects of Confucius, The Book of Filial Piety, Shangshu and so on. His academic contribution is jaw-dropping, and it is simply an encyclopedia. Zheng has a hall name called Tang, from Zheng Xuan. Because of Zheng Xuan's pioneering contribution in the field of Confucian classics, later generations called Confucian classics Zheng.

In the third year of Hongjia in the Western Han Dynasty (BC 18), Gong Zheng, a native of Guanghan, Sichuan (now southeast of Jintang), led more than 60 people to launch an uprising. They attacked the government, released prisoners and robbed weapons. Gong Zheng claimed to be the Mountain King, and the uprising team quickly grew to tens of thousands of people, and successively captured four counties. Guanghan satrap can do nothing about it.

The rebel army took the mountain as its camp, defended according to risks, and confronted the officers and men for one year. Emperor Hancheng was furious, dismissed Prime Minister Bi Xuan, appointed Sun Bao as the secretariat of Yizhou, and Zhao Wei in Hedong was the prefect of Guanghan, and recruited 30,000 officers and men from Guanghan County and Shu County to suppress it. Loyal ministers use a combination of hard and soft methods. On the one hand, Sun Bao went to the rebel camp to lobby Gong Zheng to surrender; On the other hand, Zhao Hu and his troops stormed. A month later, the rebels were suppressed and Gong Zheng was killed.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, he was famous, rich and outstanding.

During this period, Zheng continued to stand out. During the Qin and Han dynasties, on the basis of the literary achievements and martial arts of the Zheng family, Zheng people, mainly descendants of Zheng, continued to develop vigorously, making Zheng one of the world-famous surnames.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zheng Zha, Zheng Zhou and Zheng of the Zheng family in Pei County (now Suzhou, Anhui Province) followed Sun Ce and became famous ministers of the Sun Wu regime. A member of the Zheng family, he used to be Wu's ancient adviser and Pingnan's general. In the Western Jin Dynasty, Dong 'an was the magistrate, guarding Danyang (now Jiangning, Jiangsu).

Yao Zheng's descendants began to move south because they were officials. Zheng Zhao, his second son, became General Long Xiang, was named the founding Hou, led troops into Fujian, and was honored as the ancestor of Fujian and Zheng. Today, the Nanhu family and Jiakuang family in Fujian Mindong, Putian and Xianyou are descendants of Zheng Zhao. Zheng Xie (), a famous painter and calligrapher in Qing Dynasty, is one of the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou" and a descendant of Zheng from Nanhu Lake.

Almost every generation of Zheng's contemporaries had officials from the imperial court. After Yan, Zheng Huo was a prince and a young master. Zheng Huo has four grandchildren: Zheng Tao, Ye Zheng, Jian Zheng and Zheng Tian. Zheng Tao followed the Western Expedition of Emperor Wu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and settled in Gansu, becoming the Western ancestor; Ye Zheng, the general of Jianwu in the Northern Wei Dynasty, was named Nanyang Gong and lived in ancient Xingyang (now ancient Xingyang Town, Zhengzhou, Henan Province), becoming the Northern Sect. Jian Zheng settled in Jingxian County (now Jingxian City, Xingyang, Henan Province) and became the southern ancestor; Zheng Tian settled in Dassault (now Xingyang, Henan) and became the ancestor. They are the famous "four ancestors of the Zheng family" in the history of the Zheng family.

After 10 generations, Zheng, the ancestor of the north, developed the most, and his descendants were prominent and prosperous. Followed by the surname of Zheng in the south ancestor, and the surname of Zheng in the middle ancestor declined in the sixth generation and later revived.

In 495, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty gave a surname and established a gate valve system. Mu, Lu, He, Liu, Lou, Yu, Ji and Wei of Xianbei nationality are the first-class gentry, and the first-class gentry of Han nationality are the four "highest gates". Zheng, the grandson of the ancestor of the Northern Dynasties, served as a bachelor and secretary supervisor in the Hanlin Academy and was very famous in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Therefore, the Zheng family of Xingyang, represented by Zheng, and the three famous families of Qinghe Cui Shi, Fanyang Lushi and Taiyuan Wang are on the list.

During the Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Xichang County made the descendants of Zheng Hui king.

During this period, the Zheng family in Xingyang was the world of the Zheng family, which can be said to be the limelight and envy others.

During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Zheng Yi, a descendant of Zheng, served as a doctor of internal history. He has a very close colleague and buddy named Sui Wendi. After the death of Emperor Xuandi in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Zheng Yi strongly recommended Emperor Wendi to assist the government. When Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty established the Sui Dynasty, he did not forget his good partner Zheng Yi. Zheng was translated into the founding father of the Sui Dynasty, and the official went to the states and made a secretariat, and was named Pei Guogong.

During the period of Emperor Taizong, the concept of gate valve was still relatively strong. In the year of Zhenguan 12 (638), Emperor Taizong asked Gao Shilian, a senior official of the official department, to write Genealogy, in which surnames were graded. On the basis of the original four surnames of Cui, Lu, Zheng and Wang, Li was added to form the most popular surnames of Li, Cui, Lu, Zheng and Wang Wu. Five surnames uphold the concept of family expectations and are ashamed to marry his surname.

During the reign of Wu Zetian, the policy of suppressing the imperial clan began, and the political status of the five surnames was suppressed. This road is impassable, so naturally there are other ways to go. Zheng has always been famous for his literary achievements and martial arts. Zheng's people have excellent cultural traditions, and their advantages were fully demonstrated under the imperial examination system at that time.

From the second year of Shang Yuan (675) when Zheng claimed to be the top scholar, to the 200 years at the end of Tang Dynasty, the Zheng family produced 9 prime ministers, 6 top scholars, 8 Xu horses and 22 scholars, and gained the reputation of "Zheng". According to other data, there were not only nine prime ministers named Zheng in the Tang Dynasty, but also four: Zheng Su, Zheng Ya, Gui Zheng and Zheng Changtu.

During the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the county magistrate of Xilu (now Xichang, Sichuan) was called Zheng Hui. During the Anshi Rebellion, Nanzhao captured the Wa State (now Xichang) and Zheng Hui was also captured. Luo Feng, the king of Nanzhao, found that he was very knowledgeable and appointed him as a royal teacher.

After Yi Mouxun acceded to the throne, Zheng Hui was appointed as the official of Qing Ping in Nanzhao (equivalent to the prime minister). Zheng Hui actively promoted the sinicization of Nanzhao, advocated imitating the Tang Dynasty, and urged Nanzhao and the Tang Dynasty to restore bilateral friendly relations. In 794, Yi Mouxun swore to the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty that all tribes in Nanzhao would "be attached to the Han Dynasty (Tang Dynasty)" from then on.

After Zheng Hui's death, his son and descendants worked as officials in Nanzhao for generations. In 897, Sun Zheng of Zheng Hui VII ordered Deng Yang to kill Wang Longshun of Nanzhao State. In 902, Zheng Maisi simply destroyed Nanzhao, established Dachang and Guo, and ruled most of Yunnan, Sichuan and Guizhou today. Zheng became king for the first time. The good times didn't last long. Big factories and countries have only been handed down for three generations, and they died because of civil strife, with only 26 years left.

During the reign of Tang Gaozong, Zheng Chen, a native of Gushi, Henan Province, was ordered to enter Fujian and was trapped. Chen Min and Chen Fu led Zhongzhou Martial Arts School into Fujian to save it. One of his aides was Zheng Shizhong, who later stayed in Fujian and had many descendants.

In the middle Tang Dynasty, Wang Chao and Wang entered Fujian, where they were wrapped by Zheng Keyuan, the third son of Zheng Yi, the then prime minister, and took their family as special envoys. Along the way, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled were scattered, so we had to settle down on the spot. At present, Zheng surnames in Changting, Longyan, Wuping and Shanghang in Fujian are mostly descendants of exiles.

Later, Zheng Keyuan and his people settled in Wu Rongzhou (now Jinjiang, Fujian). Later, Zheng Keyuan resigned, first lived in Wutian, Fujian, and then moved to Jianglian, renamed Fengshan. Zheng Mao, the great-grandson of Zheng Keyuan, lived in seclusion in Dapeng Shanyang in his later years, so his surname is also called (Yang) Zheng. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan Province Province went to Fujian twice to recruit soldiers, and many people named Zheng went to Taiwan Province Province with the army, and later settled in Danshui, Changhua, Luohanmen and other places in Taiwan Province Province.

Among the prime ministers surnamed Zheng, Zheng Yi is the most famous. In the first year of Tang Xizong Guangming (880), Zheng Yi was appointed Fengxiang. After Huang Chao rebels invaded Chang 'an, Tang Xizong fled to Sichuan, and Zheng Yi recruited troops to resist the rebels. Later, Li will launch a mutiny to drive away Zheng Yi and ask Zheng Yi to go to Chengdu to preside over military affairs. After returning to Chang 'an, Zheng Yi did not follow because he was excluded, but went to find Zheng, the eldest son of Pengzhou secretariat, and ended his career.

Zheng, a native of Chengdu in Song and Yuan Dynasties, is famous for his literary talent.

During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the surname Zheng still developed on this basis. The Hundred Family Names, which everyone is familiar with now, was compiled in the Northern Song Dynasty. The arrangement of surnames is not based on the population at that time, but on the political status of surnames at that time. From the first sentence "former grandson, Zhou Zhengwang, Wu State", we can see that Zheng's surname had a high historical position at that time.

In the Song Dynasty, the population of Zheng was about 750,000, ranking 20th in the total population, and Fujian was the largest province of Zheng, accounting for a quarter of the total population of Zheng, with about 6,543,808+087,500 people. Other provinces with a large population in Zheng include Henan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Jiangxi and Hubei, while Sichuan has a small population.

During the Song Dynasty, celebrities and families of the Zheng family emerged constantly. Especially in Yongjia, Zhejiang Province (now Wenzhou), people with the surname Zheng have successively become famous in the world, including Zheng, Zheng Boying, Zheng Bomo, Zheng Bohai and Zheng. In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, their knowledge was once called the orthodox school, that is, the Zheng school, also known as the Yongjia school.

As far as academic contribution is concerned, Zheng Qiao in the Southern Song Dynasty was a lean man. Zheng Qiao, a native of Putian, Fujian Province, is known as Mr. Jiazhushan because he has lived in Jiazhushan for a long time. He was born in a scholarly family, and his favorite thing is reading. He tried his best to study, determined to read all the ancient and modern books, and was proficient in the six classics and a hundred schools of thought. After Jin Bing invaded the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, he took all the books in the library. As a scholar, Zheng Qiao decided to write a general history for the Southern Song Dynasty.

He began to write general history at the age of 30, taking risks and overcoming many difficulties. By the age of 54, he had written the first draft of the 200-volume historical masterpiece General History with more than 6 million words. Zheng Qiao created as many as 84 kinds of works in his life, most of which have been lost. There are only Tongzhi, Jia Kui's Legacy, Er Ya Zhu, Bian Shi Zhen and some scattered articles.

Zheng Chengdu, a native of Northern Song Dynasty, was a scholar for three years (1088). Zheng is famous for his literary talent. During Zheng He's reign, he served as the magistrate of Deyang. Many of his works are lost, and the words "Partridge Sky" and "Chao Di" are contained in Song poetry.
