This article is a refutation of Prof.Chen Longwen's claim that the hometown of Zhong Yao is Zhongmu.During the Han and Wei dynasties,Changshe county of Yingchuan commandery was separated from Chengqianzhang village by a large area such as Yuan-ling county.Chengqianzhang village was located in the north of Yuanling county and did not belong to Changshe county of Yingchuan commandery."Zhongcheng"is Zhong Yao's fief rather than his hometown.Changge city is an important birthplace of the Zhong sur-name,a central area for the reproduction of the Zhong surname during the Han、Wei and Jin dynasties,and also the hometown of Zhong Yao.The glorious history and achievements of Zhong Yao are ultimately only a part of the glorious history and achievements of the Zhong family in Cangshe County of Yingchuan commandery for over 500 years.
