A friend surnamed "Zhu" told me that he did not need a ticket to visit the Ming Tombs in Nanjing. Before he could explain, I suddenly smiled and said, "Old Zhu and Little Zhu are family." What other tickets does the family charge? "It also reminds me of three holes. In Qufu, as long as the Kong clan people, with their ID cards to visit the three holes, there is no ticket. It seems that it is still beneficial to have the same surname as a celebrity. If so, Zhu surname is undoubtedly the most advantageous surname among the hundred family names, Nanjing Ming Xiaoling Tombs, Beijing's Ming Tombs, and even the Forbidden City, for tourists surnamed Zhu must be free of charge. So let's talk about how the Zhu surname clan is passed on?
Ming Tombs
The Chu clan is from the Cao clan
King Wu of Zhou once enfeoffed Cao Guo,a descendant of the Cao clan (曹国), and established the capital at Yu (邾). His widow took guo as his surname and was called The Yi clan. In 796 BC, the ruler of the state of Yi yan participated in the coup d'état of the state of Lu, was attacked and killed. Lady Ying of Yi Yan is a stunning beauty. After her husband's death, all the princes coveted her beauty, but she swore: "Whoever can avenge my husband's murder of the king, I will marry whom." In the end, her little uncle, Yi Yan's younger brother Shu Shu, killed Bao Guang's father and Liang Maizi of the State of Lu, revenge for the country, and the family hated. Yingshi fulfilled his promise and married his younger uncle Shushu as his wife. Ying gave birth to two sons for her ex-husband Yi Yan: Father Yi Xia and Yi You, and after remarrying, he gave birth to a son named Yi (xū) for Uncle Yi. Shu Shushu treated the two nephews and their own sons without distinction between each other, and even like their own sons. When his nephew Yi Xia's father grew up, Shu Shu chose to abdicate and ceded the throne to his nephew Yi Xia's father.
Later, the king of the state of Yi passed to the Duke of Huan, and due to infighting in the state of Yi, the son of duke Yihong of The State of Yi led his family to flee the state of Yi and came to Peiyi (present-day Jiangsu) in the state of Lu to live in seclusion. He changed the character 邾 to Zhu, indicating that he was a person who had left the country and lost his fief. His sons migrated to Peiguo Xiangyi, and his descendants gradually multiplied and grew, forming an important branch of the Later Zhu clan, the Peiguo Zhu clan. Because of Zhu Yihong's great influence, most of the Zhu clan in later generations honored him as the great ancestor of the Zhu clan Zhaoshi and his son as the ancestor of Xiang County.

The Peiguo Zhu clan was a large clan
In the world, the Zhu clan took the Peiguo faction as the main sect of the concubine lineage, and by the time of the Han and Wei dynasties, the Peiguo Zhu clan was becoming more and more powerful. The prosperity of the Pei state Zhu clan began with Zhu Yi (yì), who lived in the Pei state at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Wu of han, Zhu Yi served as the Chief Historian of the Great Sima and was highly valued by the Great Sima Dongxian. Later, Dong Xian was framed by Wang Mang and committed suicide, and Zhu Yi bought a coffin to collect his body and bury it, angering Wang Mang and being brutally killed. Zhu Yi's son Zhu Fu (朱浮) followed Liu Xiu in his conquest of the world, and was made the Marquis of Wuyang for his merits, and later served as the Grand Sikong and ranked third duke. Zhu Fu's great-grandson Zhu Yu served as the Assassin of Qingzhou and was later promoted to Shangshu, but in a fierce political struggle, he was persecuted and died in prison. After Zhu Yu's death, her descendants fled in all directions to escape persecution. One of them migrated from Peiguo to Qingzhou, where Zhu Yu had served, and later multiplied into the famous Qingzhou Zhu clan. Later, Zhu Yu was the ancestor of the Zhu clan in Qingzhou. After Zhu Yu's death, his wife and son Zhu Jun fled to Danyang for refuge, and later their descendants multiplied, forming the famous Danyang Zhu clan.

Zhu Jun and his widowed mother depended on each other for their lives, and they were extremely filial to their mother, becoming a famous filial piety. Later, because of his merits in suppressing the Yellow Turban Army, he was successively awarded the titles of Marquis of Xixiang and Marquis of Qiantang, ranking third duke. In 195 AD, Zhu Jun was ordered by Emperor Xian of Han to persuade Dong Zhuo to surrender, but he was unexpectedly taken hostage and vomited blood and died. Zhu Junsheng had three sons: Zhu Hao, Zhu Huan, and Zhu Zhao, and the three brothers were extraordinary. In particular, the second son Zhu Huan served as Sun Quan's counselor, and because of his defeat of Cao Ren, he was made the Marquis of Jiaxing. Once, before Zhu Huan returned to Qingzhou from jianye, the capital of the Wu kingdom, he said goodbye to Sun Quan: "I will go away, if I can go forward with a dragon's whiskers, I will die without regrets!" After Sun Quan listened, he really raised his chin to let him touch his beard. ”
After the Peiguo Zhu Yu clan moved to Qingzhou and Danyang respectively in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, one of his brother Zhu Zhuo's clan remained in Pei County, sticking to their ancestral inheritance and homeland. Zhu Zhuo's grandson Zhu Junjian served as the prince of Northern Zhou and lived in Yongcheng, Bozhou. Zhu Junjian's great-grandson Zhu Caosheng had four sons: Zhu Renji, Zhu Jingze, Zhu Xuan (qǐ), and Zhu Min. The eldest, Zhu Renluo, was once a well-known filial piety, and often taught the disciples of the clan to say: "Give way for life, do not waste a hundred steps, give way for life, and do not lose a paragraph." The second eldest, Zhu Jing, was a brilliant celebrity who was both literate and martial, and who had been in the same position for many years. The third and fourth elders are both high-ranking officials. Due to the outstanding achievements of the four Zhu Jingze brothers, the Zhu clan of Shuicheng leapt to become the most prominent family of the Zhu clan.

One of the descendants of the eldest Zhu Renluo migrated to Suiyang and formed the Suiyang Zhu clan. The Suiyang Zhu clan later divided into branches such as the Changshu Zhu clan of Wu County and the Zhu clan of Kunshan. One of the descendants of zhu Jingze, the second eldest, crossed south to Huoqiu in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, and later migrated to Shouchun to Lower Cai. Among the descendants of Zhu Jingze, the zhu xi family and the Zhu Yuanzhang family have emerged.
After Zhu Xi's father Zhu Songzhongjin entered the army, he was transferred to Jianzhou Zhenghe County, so his family moved to Jianzhou Zhenghe County in Fujian Province, and then opened the Jianyang Zhu clan, and Zhu Song also became the ancestor of the Zhu clan in Fujian. In 1130, during the Fujian War, Zhu Song fled to the home of his friend Zheng An Dao, where his wife Cheng gave birth to a boy, zhu Xi, who later became a Dali scholar. It was not until Zhu Xi was eight years old that his father Zhu Song settled in Jian'ou, Fujian.

The Zhu Xi family branched again
At the time of the death of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Qian fled to goryeo with his young son Zhu Yuqing and settled in Jincheng (present-day Luozhou). Therefore, his descendants Zun Zhu Qian was the ancestor of the dynasty. After more than 700 years, the descendants of descendants multiplied and prospered, scattered throughout the Korean Peninsula, reaching more than 200,000 people, including 140,000 in South Korea and 60,000 in North Korea. Zhu Ju's eldest son Zhu Qia stayed in Jianyang, and his descendants moved back from Jianyang Kaoting in Fujian province to their ancestral home, Wuyuan, Huizhou, forming the two major houses of the East and West of the Zhu clan in Wuyuan.
Zhu Xi's second son Zhu Quan (朱埜), the second son of Zhu Xi (朱埜), moved to Luling because of his official move, becoming the ancestor of the Zhu clan of Luling. Zhu Quan's son, Zhu Yuangui, retired and preached in the academy, and once cultivated a proud protégé like the national hero Wen Tianxiang.
The Luling Zhu clan was handed down from Zhu Quan for six generations, and due to the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he moved from Luling to Anfu County, Ji'an, Jiangxi, and later moved to Ningzhong Township, Xingning County, Guangdong, becoming the first Guangdong Hakka Zhu clan. Zhu Yanming, another descendant of Zhu Quan, moved from Jianning County to Ningzhong Gutang Village in Xingning County, Guangdong Province, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, forming the second Guangdong Hakka Zhu clan.
The origin of the Yilong Zhu clan
During the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, during the wave of immigration in Huguang to Fill Sichuan, the Guangdong Hakka Zhu clan moved from Shaoguan, Guangdong to Guang'an County, Sichuan. Descendants Zhu Wenxian moved from Guang'an in northern Sichuan to settle in Ma'an, Yilong County, Sichuan, forming the famous Yilong Saddle Farm Zhu Clan.
Yilong Zhu clan, who has been farming for generations, lives in poverty. Zhu Wenxian's great-grandson Zhu Bangjun had four sons: Zhu Shilian, Zhu Shilin, Zhu Shihe, and Zhu Shilu, while the second eldest Zhu Shilin married his wife Zhong Shilin and had six sons and two daughters, the third of whom was Zhu De. Because the eldest uncle Zhu Shilian was childless, his father Zhu Shilin passed Zhu De over to his eldest brother Zhu Shilian. As a result, his uncle Zhu Shilian became Zhu De's adoptive father. From the family lineage of Cao Yihong to Zhu Yihong to Zhu Xi to Zhu De, the lineage of the Zhu family can be clearly seen.
