Overview of genealogy in Luoyang area: Zhang genealogy in Luoning.

The Zhang family of Daming in Delingha was originally from Yan Qiang Village, Tongzhou, Shaanxi Province, which is now Dongnianqiao Village, Dali County. Zhang Zai, the ancestor of Yan Qiang Village, was betrothed to three sons of his direct descendant Zhang Weiwei. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, he evaded soldiers and moved to Henan. Zhong Wengong, the eldest ancestor, moved to Chuandeli Village, Jinmen, Yinan, Yongning County (now Luoning County). When it reached the third generation, there were four people, Yan, Zhen, Li and Brother, who were divided into four doors, namely the south gate of the Zhang family in Yongning. The bell of the Second Ancestral Hall was moved to Damenlou Village (now Daming) in the northeast of Daohuan, Yongning County, which is the north gate of Zhangjia, Yongning. The third ancestor Zhong moved to Mangshanling, Luoyang, and his descendants were lost. Since Zujuyong, the Zhang family has been divided into two branches: North and South.
