Another theory connects it to the ancient state of Sheng, a small state during the Spring and Autumn period, whose ruling family adopted the state name as their surname after its annexation by the state of Zheng. Additionally, some claim it originated from ethnic minorities who adopted the surname 盛 after汉族.
