Zhang's surname ranks third among Chinese surnames, and it has a great influence both in ancient and modern times, but in people's impression, there seems to be no emperor in the surname Zhang.
mainly because the Zhang surname did not establish a dynasty with a relatively large influence, and the Zhang family, who are well-documented in history, are not emperors of orthodox dynasties. Some are rulers of local separatist regimes, some are leaders of rebel troops, and some are puppets of ethnic minority regimes. All of them are not long and very short-lived:

So Zhang Zhi instigated in Jinzhou , proclaiming himself the Emperor of Han Xinglong, and once controlled dozens of prefectures and counties and captured Xingzhong Prefecture. In 1216, due to fear of Mongolia's resignation, they once again, but were defeated repeatedly in the face of the army of the famous Mongolian general Mu Huali .

It can be seen that these emperors surnamed Zhang did not reign for a long time, ranging from several years to dozens of days. It is impossible to compare with those countries that have existed for decades. What's more, , the Han and Tang , the , the unified dynasty of , is reasonable for people to have no impression of the emperor surnamed Zhang.
In addition, in folk legends, Jade Emperor is also surnamed Zhang. In fact, this is just a false saying. According to the article "A Study on the Source of the Jade Emperor's Master of All Laws" by Zhou Xuanzhen, Quanzhen of the Ming Dynasty, "The Collection of the Sutras of the Jade Emperor" "The Collection of the Sutras of the Jade Emperor" verified
The world observes the way of heaven and the way of Yangming, and Yang is the master of the power of the power, and the power of the emperor is always Zhang. The emperor is called Zhang. The foolish people do not understand this principle, and they are rude to say that the Zhang clan of the Tang Dynasty, Zhending Prefecture, Northern Zhili, is the descendant of the Jade Emperor, .
It can be seen that Fengdu is rumored as a ghost city because of the two Taoist priests of Wang Fangping and Yin Changsheng, the surname of Jade Emperor Zhang is also a misunderstanding.
