It is understood that academician Zhang, 85 years old, has long been engaged in comparative morphology, paleoichthyology, late Mesozoic and Cenozoic stratigraphy, paleogeography and biological evolution. She has served as director of Institute of Paleovertebrate, Chinese Academy of Sciences, President of international paleontological Association, President of Chinese paleontological society, etc. she has also been selected as a foreign member of Linnaeus society in London, an honorary member of North American Paleovertebrate society, etc.

It home has learned that according to international regulations, stars in the sky can only be represented by constellations and their numbers, and only small planets in the solar system can be named by the discoverer.
Most of the asteroids discovered in the early years were named after the gods in Greek mythology. Later, with the increasing number of asteroids discovered, the names of many countries, cities and celebrities became the names of asteroids. In order to unify the standards, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) has specially formed an asteroid nomenclature committee composed of internationally renowned scientists, which is responsible for accepting and reviewing the naming of new asteroids around the world.
Previously, there have been many asteroids named after Chinese scientists, such as "Yuan Longping star", "Chen Jingrun star", "Qian Xuesen star", "Qian Sanqiang star", "Sun Jiadong star" and "Tu youyou star".
