Why hasn't there been a unified dynasty surnamed Zhang for thousands of years?

As the most popular surname, why is it that none of the dynasties that have been in the same strain for thousands of years is Zhang?

In fact, one of the reasons is that the consistent dynasties in history are too limited?

We break our fingers and calculate that Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties are still the main nature of * * *. Since the Qin Dynasty, China can be called a unified country, in fact, as long as the Qin, Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Song is a bit far-fetched. A * * *, only nine dynasties, to get rid of two ethnic minorities, and the Han regime has seven * * *.

With the seven unified dynasties, that is, as long as seven surnames can form a unified dynasty, most surnames will not be selected.

In terms of probability, although Zhang is one of the four surnames, its population now accounts for about one tenth of the country. With this share, assuming that each dynasty chooses one person from the people of the whole country as the founding emperor by "random lottery", the probability of Zhang being elected as the dynasty during this period is 10%. A little calculation shows that the probability of Zhang Qichao's total defeat is close to 35%, that is, more than one third. This kind of work is not uncommon.

In fact, among the seven Han Dynasties, the top six surnames were Liu Han, Yang Sui and Li Tang, and the other six surnames accounted for the four dynasties of Qin, Jin, Song and Ming. Considering that the top six surnames account for less than half of China's total population, this share is basically quite reliable.

Since ancient times, Wang, Li and Zhao have occupied a large share in hundreds of surnames. In the Twenty-four History, there are many surnames of emperors, but only Zhang and Wang are few. Wang Xing, at least Wang Mang, the pioneer of the new dynasty at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, even if he usurped the throne, there was at least one candidate for the emperor. The only surname is Zhang. Since ancient times, there have been many talented people, including Sean, Zhang Fei, Zhang Jiuling and Zhang Zhidong, as long as the position of the emperor is vacant.

"Li Zhao and Liu are everywhere", Zhang often ranks first, and the number of people has always been the group with the most surnames. Why does such a huge surname rarely appear as an emperor? Looking through the history books, we can find that Zhang has always been prosperous and has become a noble family in many places in China. Even the most awesome person, God, is surnamed Zhang. Isn't there a play called Zhang Yuhuang in Sima Yi's Complaining? The Jade Emperor, whose real name is Zhang Bairen, is the highest god in the three realms. He used to be the owner of Dazhai (formerly known as Zhang You). He was smart and kind when he was young, and he became a golden body after 3200 disasters.

Zhangjiawan is a big bungalow with tens of thousands of people, and Zhang You is the owner of this village. It is not easy for a person to manage a small family well, but Zhang You can manage such a large village neatly and politely. When asked what his brilliant idea was, Zhang Youxiao said that it was nothing more than a word "forbearance". Perhaps, it is the "forbearance" thought that makes Zhang's descendants dare not make public, dare not be arrogant, and even dare not be the best in the world.

"The emperor takes turns sitting on the ground and comes to my house next year" is the most familiar proverb in our country, but how many people can die well? Zhang Bai, the ancestor of the Zhang family, is still smart. He knows that things are changing in temperature. As long as his bosom friend knows, living well is better than anything else. Ninja becomes steel, immortal and Buddha. This is the way.

A: The headline of The Emperor Doesn't Call Me is Hu Dan.

Before you say Zhang, let's talk about Hu.

My surname is Hu, and Hu Jiazu has no strength. At the very least, there is not even an emperor! Some people say "Hu Hai". Stop it! Hu Erjibuji first said that he was not surnamed Hu!

Hu family has a large population, ranking 13 among 19 people whose population exceeds the total population 1%. I looked through children's Chinese books, and there was a song called Song, which said, "What's your last name? My surname is Li. What Lee? Li Muzi. What's his last name? His surname is Zhang. Which one? The bow is very long. Gu, Kou Tianwu, Shuang Xu, let's say at noon that "Gu" is behind "Gong Changzhang"!

Look at the old Hu family, surnamed Zhang, and you can say, "I'm not alone!" " "

Zhang surname has been one of the five major surnames of Han people since the Yuan Dynasty. The top five surnames are: Li.

Zhao topped the list of hundreds of surnames in the Song Dynasty because someone in Zhao became an emperor.

The ranking of this list is: "Thousands of Sun Zhao Li, Wu Zhou Zheng Wang". "Hundred Surnames" is not ranked by population, but the surname in front must be the most popular surname at that time.

I mentioned two surnames above (the top five surnames and the top 100 surnames), and Wang Xing is one of them.

Friends surnamed Zhang, if they think there is no emperor in their ancestors and feel a little "bleak autumn festival", then look at those surnamed Wang!

There was a folly in history. In this case, as long as 15 years of the emperor's life, the emperor's hat was stolen and usurped from the Liu family, and the end was still very miserable. Boasting about such a granddaddy is probably for fear of flashing his tongue-something is better than nothing.

Zhang has a large population, but there has never been an emperor in history. Someone noticed this phenomenon a long time ago, so it is a kind of psychological compensation to let the Taoist Jade Emperor take his surname Zhang. Perhaps on the other hand, because the Jade Emperor surnamed Zhang has now occupied a permanent throne in heaven, the world can't be too greedy, which is a secret explanation for Zhang's not leaving the emperor.

In fact, if we only focus on Zhang, we will feel that Zhang has a large population but no emperor, which is really unfair in heaven. If you put your eyes longer and wider, you will find that there is nothing strange about it.

(Jade Emperor)

First of all, as I said above, there are no emperors in many of the most popular names in China, such as Hu and Wang. The orthodox dynasties in ancient China, starting from Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, from Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Northern and Southern Dynasties to Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, were counted with almost ten fingers, and there were also some minority regimes. And China's population exceeds 1% of the total population (the current base is1400 million people! Last name up to19; The top 20 surnames in China are: De, De Zhao Huang, De, Hu Gao Lin and He Luo. Let's see, how many of these 20 families are emperors?

It should be said that Zhang's "not being an emperor" is a cliche.

Secondly, contrary to the fact that the most popular surname cannot give birth to an emperor, many emperors in history gave birth to the youngest surname. For example, in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the surnames Si, Zi and Ji were separated. Qin won. Wei surnamed Cao in the Three Kingdoms. The Southern and Northern Dynasties were too chaotic. I said North Tuoba, South Xiao. Yuan Qing, I won't say it.

Think about it, my friends. Isn't that normal? Surname is the representative symbol of clan consanguinity, behind which is clan honor, wealth, power and tradition; Dignitaries with elegant surnames, not quantity. Therefore, a large population cannot be the reason why the emperor must have more.

This topic is about why the dynasties that have been consistent for thousands of years did not have Zhang as emperor.

As I said before, there are few consistent dynasties in history, but there are many surnames, which makes people feel a little more than porridge. There are only a few imperial surnames in a consistent dynasty or an orthodox dynasty.

But it doesn't mean that Zhang has never been an "emperor". For example, during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, the separatist regime in the northwest was "sealed as Zhang 76 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China (although it was a vassal of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, it was actually an independent country).

In fact, there are many emperors in history, but interestingly, Emperor Zhang has three characteristics: one is self-styled and self-reliant; Second, how short life expectancy is, many people die before "two"; Third, no one is strong.

Why? Zhang's population base has played a great role in this way. However, people in troubled times have mushroomed, and there are countless rebellions and uprisings. There are many people named Zhang, and from all kinds of "peasant armies" or local warlords, several kings named Zhang will inevitably emerge.

Although Zhang didn't become an emperor, he was the most famous "king", which is enough pride!
