Where are the descendants of King Lu now?

In Shenjiazhuang Village, Surabaya Town, there is a descendant of the Zhu clan of the Minglu King, and legend has it that in the early Qing Dynasty, an ancestor of the Xizi generation came here to build a village. At present, there are more than 200 people with the surname Zhu in this village, and they have multiplied to the Lizi generation. The Zhu clan in the village is mainly divided into five branches, and is the descendant of the two sons of this old ancestor. Comprehensive old man legend, with reference to Surabaya County Chronicle, place name and other materials, in the early Qing Dynasty, due to the flooding of the Si River flooded farmland, the people's life was hopeless, the old ancestor of the Xi dynasty and his wife used a basket to carry two children out of the wilderness, when the rope broke, it fell next to an old locust tree in the current Shenjiazhuang location, and later built a grass house here and settled down. Lao Zu painstakingly reclaimed a large area of wilderness into fertile land, and most of his sons and descendants lived in the southeast of the village, commonly known as the South Branch, and the descendants of another son lived in the northeast of the village, commonly known as the North Branch. About 100 years ago, Zhu Zhuangyan of the North Branch moved with his family to the three villages of Zhongzhi, and now it has grown to more than 100 people. Around 1960, Zhu Benting, Zhu Benben and other families of the North Branch moved to Jilin in the northeast, and there are currently more than 20 people, Zhu Yushan, Zhu Benxue and their families moved to Dongying on the north bank of the Yellow River, and now there are about 20 people. Zhu Benru of the Southern Branch was the fourth to move to Heilongjiang, and now there are 30 people. In addition, there are trips to Texas and other places. In total, there are about 500 people in the ethnic group.

The ancestral tomb of this branch of the Zhu clan is in the area of Longmen Mountain in Surabaya, and every new Year's Day, it will prostrate in the direction of Longmen Mountain. There is a Lingguang Temple on Longmen Mountain, and there is a stele gallery outside the temple, which displays the Buddhist temple inscriptions and the Sanhe Ming LuFu Clan Chamber Offiction, namely "Lu Zouping Princess Shi Clan Yuanzhi", "The Tomb Inscription of dong'ou Ligang Cemetery", and "The Epitaph of Zhang's Wife of the General of dong'ou Fuguo".

There are different theories about the source flow of this branch. One says that it was after King Zouping of the MingLu Domain. According to the "Guide to The Science Guide of Longmen Mountain", "There is a royal tomb in the yang of Longmen Mountain, and the owner of the tomb is named Zhu Yangyong (should be 鎕, the same below), who is the eldest grandson of The Tenth Son of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, King Tan of Luhuang, and was enfeoffed as the second generation of Zouping King, called King Gongyi. Zhu Yangyong came to Longmen Mountain for sightseeing when he was alive, praised the strange landscape here, and left a message that he must be buried in this feng shui treasure land after a hundred years. After Zhu Yangyong died, after the completion of the three-year mourning service, his son Zhu Dang (潩), the Prince of Zouping Zhuangding, obeyed his father's instructions and buried his father's coffin at the foot of Longmen Mountain in the seventh year of Zhengde (1512 AD). Until now, there is still a small village named Wang Tomb Zhuang (now changed to Longmen Mountain Villa) in the south of Wang Tomb. At the same time, it is also verified that many kings are also buried here. According to the Ming Records, Zhu Danglu (朱唐潩), the title of Jun'an (筠庵), was posthumously honored as King Zhuang Ding, good at painting bamboo, and Emperor Wuzong Zeng Jiadang's father and son both had filial piety and was given the name "Shi Xiaoxiao", and in September of the tenth year of Zhengde's reign, he was enfeoffed as a concubine ("Princess Lu Zouping of the Shi Clan").

In addition, the branch may also be after the King of Dong'ou of Lu Domain, which can be inferred from a legend and the two-in-one Dong'ou Yuanzhi. It is said that in the 1960s and 1970s, a husband and wife burial tomb was found in the Longmen Mountain area, which was destroyed, and the two Dong Ou Zhen Zhidang were born at this time, and it is said that due to the broken feng shui, the clan members died one after another. Combined with the Records of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Guan (火爯) was the grandson of Zhu Danglan(朱唐沘), the prince of Dong'ouduansu in Minglu Province, and the son of the Zhenguo general Zhu Jianqi (朱健樤), his wife Zhang Shi (張氏), the second son, the female one Guiqiu County Jun, and yibin Tongxuan (宜宾童煇). Premature death. Praise for good deeds.
