The surname Zheng of Yuyao has always been cultivated and read by heirlooms, and few people are known as eunuchs, but Zheng Zunqian, a righteous warrior who resisted the Qing Dynasty, deserves a book. Zheng Zunqian (郑遵谦), courtesy name Gong gong, son of Zheng Zhiyin of Datong Bingbei, Linshan Weiren, later moved to Shaoxing. In the early summer of the second year of Qing Shunzhi (1645), when Nanjing and Hangzhou fell one after another, Zheng Zunqian began to attack on June 11, first killing the Prefect of Shaoxing and Huiji County, appointed by the Qing court, and then joining forces with Sun Jiaji of Yuyao and Xiong Rulin to jointly support the Lu king Zhu Yihai to oversee the state. King Lu conferred on Zheng Zunqian the Governor of the Imperial Household,Appointed As the Governor of The Imperial Household," and Fengyi Xingbo (封義興伯), and marquis of Jinyi Xinghou (晋義興侯). In May of the following year, King Lu's army was defeated, and Zheng Zunqian followed King Lu to Zhoushan, Xiamen and other places. In the fifth year of Shunzhi, because his friend Xiong Rulin was killed by Yongsheng Bo Zheng Cai, Zheng Zunqian expressed deep dissatisfaction, so Zheng Cai decided to even harm Zheng Zunqian, and Zheng Zunqian was forced to commit suicide by throwing himself into the sea. During the Qianlong period, in order to win the hearts and minds of the people, the Qing government honored Zheng Zunqian to "save the festival" and gave the construction of the "Zhongjie Ancestral Hall".
