Jang clan of Asan (Korean: 아산 장씨; Hanja: 牙山 蔣氏) was one of the Korean clans. Their Bon-gwan was in Asan, South Chungcheong Province. According to the research in 2000, the number of Jang clan of Asan was 17695. Their founder was Jang Seo [ja] who served as Jinzi Guanglu Daifu (Hanja: 金紫光祿大夫) in Song dynasty. Jang Seo [ja] insisted that he would resist Jin dynasty if Wanyan Zongyao (Hanja: 完顏宗堯) in Jin dynasty invaded Song dynasty, but his claim was not accepted. Then, he exiled himself to Goryeo and was appointed as Prince of Asan (Hanja: 牙山君) from Yejong of Goryeo. Finally, he began Jang clan of Asan and made Asan their Bon-gwan.[1]
