Features: The Zhang surname is one of the most important members of the Chinese nation, accounting for over ten percent of the total population of China. This book is an illustrated history of the Zhang surname, featuring a wealth of exquisite illustrations that cover ancestors, notable figures, ancestral halls, artifacts, documents, scenic spots, and historical sites related to the Zhang surname. It is worth mentioning that some illustrations do not correspond one-to-one with the text, hence the name "Illustrated History" rather than "Illustrated Account." The main text of this book was written by Deng Hongbo, while the illustrations, captions, documents, and genealogy section were supplemented by Huayan Shi. The document section primarily draws from the Comprehensive Catalog of Chinese Genealogies published by Zhonghua Book Company, and the genealogy section mainly relies on the Dictionary of Chinese Names published by Shanghai Lexicographical Publishing House. The maps used in the book are sourced from works such as the Concise Historical Atlas of China published by China Map Publishing House.
