I. Origin of the Surname

There are three origins of the surname Zhen (Zhēn):

1. It comes from Emperor Shun, who took his official name as his surname. According to "Tongzhi - Clan Liao", in the ancient times, Emperor Shun had high moral character and set an example in every aspect. He heard that the pottery burning technology of the Dongyi tribe was backward. So he went to the Dongyi tribe to burn pottery. Under Shun's guidance, the Dongyi tribe soon mastered the main technology of pottery burning and became a famous pottery production area. As a result of economic development, the location of the Dongyi tribe soon developed into a city, which was called Zhencheng (甄城). Some of Shun's descendants stayed in Zhencheng as Zhen officials, who were in charge of the pottery industry. Later, the descendants of Zhen officials took this official name as their family name, which was called the Zhen surname.

2. Surname by fiefdom. According to Yuanhe Surname Codification, Zhong Yan, the son of Gaotao, the chief of the ancient tribes, was an official in Xia Dynasty, and later he was partitioned to Zhen, so his descendants customized their surname to Zhen according to the fiefdom and word of their ancestors.

3, from his family to change the surname. Wei Shu - official records, the North and South Dynasties, the Northern Wei Dynasty Xianbei tribe has three words surnamed Yudu Zhen, into the Central Plains after the change to Zhen.

It is true that the name of Zhen Clan is also related to the tiles. According to the Yuanhe Surname Compilation, the originator of the surname Zhen was Zhong Yan, the second son of Gaotao. Their ancestors were the potters who made tiles for Yu Shun at that time, and the original meaning of the word "Zhen" for Gaotao, according to the evidence, is also the meaning of the people who made tiles in ancient times. According to the evidence, Gaotao was the minister who made the law for Yu Shun, and if the Zhen Clan was the descendant of the youngest son, Zhong Zhen, then it was named after Wang Fu. Then, Zhen's family name, so far has been more than 4000 years, is an ancient Chinese family name.
