Hello Wayne,
Sorry, I lost your email address so I have to post to the Forum.
There are more than 21 surnames which are older than Zhang
and some of them had disappered from history by various reasons.
It is too hard to list them here.
Believe it or not I still don't know how to use the Big 5.
Here is the chronological tables of Chinese history with
the surname of each era and dynasty.
China has a continuing story of almost 5000 years.
Here is the chronological tables of that 5000years.
