Migration and Distribution (Lacking information) The Zongzheng surname is not among the top 100 surnames in the Chinese mainland and Taiwan. Zongzheng is the same as Zongzheng (both written as "宗正" in Chinese). Zongzheng was an official position established since Emperor Qin Shi Huang and was one of the Nine High - Ranking Officials in the Qin and Han dynasties, responsible for matters related to the imperial family. Liu Jiao, the younger brother of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty, was enfeoffed as the King of Chu, the Yuan King. Liu De, the grandson of the King of Chu, Yuan King, served as Zongzheng and had free access to the imperial palace, managing imperial affairs, which was quite enviable to others. According to the record in "Tongzhi - Shizu Lue" that "Liu De, the grandson of Liu Jiao, the King of Chu, Yuan King of the Han Dynasty, was Zongzheng", it can be known that because Liu De held the position of Zongzheng, his descendants "took the official title as their surname" and called themselves the Zongzheng clan, and later the Zongzheng clan. The surname has a history of more than 2,000 years to date. There aren't many people with the Zongzheng surname in China, mainly because most of the Zongzheng clan members later gradually simplified their surname to "Zong". The Zongzheng surname has its prominent branches in Jingzhao Commandery (the area from the east of Xi'an to Huaxian County in present - day Shaanxi Province) and Pengcheng Commandery (present - day Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province).
