The Zhangsun clan descended from Tuoba Yulu. He had two sons—the elder, Shamoxiong, and the younger, Shiyujian. Shiyujian was the forebear of Emperor Daowu of Later Wei. Under Later Wei custom, the realm's population was split into seven shares, with brothers placed over each in separate command. Shamoxiong held the post of Great Man of the South; he later took the name Ren and was styled of the Tuoba clan. His son was Song, Grand Commandant, Pillar-of-State Grand General, and Prince Xuan of Beiping. Because Song was the senior member of the imperial clan, Daowu changed the surname to Zhangsun.

During the Taihe reign, an edict declared that everyone who had moved south from north of Dai was to be registered as a native of Henan and Luoyang. Song had three sons: Tai, Tong, and Dun.
