Zhu surname distribution

Zhu is a multi-ethnic and multi-source surname group, ranking135th in the current surname list, with a population of about1366,000, accounting for about 0.085% of the total population in China.

Zhu's surname originated in today's Changqing, Shandong Province. Zhu's surname in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty not only multiplied in its birthplace, but also gradually entered Shaanxi, Henan and other provinces for official reasons. Because of the unsuccessful rebellion, Zhou knelt down and fled (now wen county, Henan Province). During the Spring and Autumn Period, ministers from Zheng and Wei came to bless him. It shows that both Zheng (now Xinzheng, Henan) and Wei (between southern Hebei and northern Henan) have Zhu surnames. In the Western Han Dynasty, people in Qi (now Shandong) wished lunch, people in Nanzheng (now Shaanxi) in Hanzhong wished turtles, and people in Jiujiang (now Jiangxi) celebrated their birthdays. It shows that people surnamed Zhu have migrated to Jiangnan at this time. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhu Youming was satirized by ministers, and Jiuzhen Taishou, Changsha Linxiang people, Dr. Guanglu and Zhongshan (now Dingzhou, Hebei Province) Lunu people wished Yutian. These historical facts show that Zhu surname has become one of the famous surnames in the north, and some Zhu surnames have settled in Hunan. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Zhu's surname flourished in Henan and Taiyuan. Therefore, later generations of Zhu surname took Henan and Taiyuan as their county hall numbers. Of course, the social unrest at this time also caused a large number of Zhu surnames to migrate to Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi. At this moment, the famous Zhu Yingtai came out. She is from Shangyu, Zhejiang today. After the middle Tang Dynasty, especially after the Anshi Rebellion and the Huang Chao Uprising, the Central Plains was empty, and Zhu fled from Henan to Hubei, or crossed the Qinling Mountains from Shaanxi to Sichuan. On this occasion, people from Shiping, Yongzhou (now Xingping, Shaanxi) wish Qin Ming to enter the DPRK. He is the only prime minister in Zhu's history. During the Song Dynasty, the Zhu surname in the north tended to be silent, while the Zhu surname in the south became more and more prosperous. Among them, Zhu Xueqiu moved from Chengwu (now Chengwu, Shandong Province) to Weicheng (now Changyuan, Henan Province), Zhu Mu moved from Zhou She (now Shexian, Anhui Province) to Chong 'an, Jianning (now Fujian Province), and Zhu Xiangqi moved from Jiangling (now Hubei Province) to Zhou She. At this time, Zhu had settled in Guangdong, except Fujian. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Shanxi Zhu surname was moved to Shandong, Shaanxi, Hubei, Hunan and other places as one of the surnames of Sophora japonica settlers in Hongdong of the Ming Dynasty. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, a coastal Zhu went to Taiwan Province to make a living. At the beginning of Qing Dynasty, the Zhu surname of Hunan and Hubei moved to Sichuan with the tide of filling Sichuan with Huguang. Today, Zhu's surname is widely distributed all over the country, especially in Anhui, Sichuan and other provinces. Zhu's surname accounts for about 43% of the Han population in China. Zhu's surname is 14 1 in China, with a large population, accounting for 0.087% of the Han population in China.

There are 18 Zhu villages in the northwest of Taihe County, Anhui Province, all of which are of the same family name. They were invented by five brothers who moved from Zaolinzhuang, Shandong Province in the Ming Dynasty. There are many building components scattered in Zhulou Village on the north bank of Haitz.

Zhulou is located on the north bank of Heitz River and belongs to Hongshan Town, Taihe County. It is named after many ancient buildings and courtyards. There are more than 300 families in the village, all with the same surname. This building was built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of 400-500 years. There used to be four courtyards in the southeast, southwest, northeast and northwest. The southeast courtyard, northwest courtyard and south archway were destroyed in the early years. Sananen collapsed in a fire on 1948. Although some building components in Northeast China were demolished during the Cultural Revolution, they remained intact as a whole. Later, because of the construction of Hongshan Auditorium and Zhuloucun Middle School, the main building and the east and west wing rooms were demolished with bricks. The living room in front was not demolished because it was inhabited at that time. In the early 1980s, the front living room was demolished because two homeowners opened new houses. Some building components, such as brick carving and wood carving, were used in the new building, and a hall plaque was used on the door panel. At present, the remaining part of the wall is large blue brick, and the wall thickness is about 60 cm. The gap is poured with glutinous rice juice with plant ash, and the middle is a loose interlayer, which is used for heat preservation and moisture prevention.

Blue-gray broken bricks can be seen everywhere in the village, with obvious characteristics of the times. Several blue stone drums scattered in the grass are big and tall, which are different from the common flat stone drums in Qing Dynasty and are rare in Taihe County. The two old wells in the village have already dried up, but the ruins are still visible. According to the old man in the village, Zhujia moved here from Shandong in the Ming Dynasty. The original village was named "Liwa House" and was renamed "Zhulou" after the building was built. Bricks used in courtyards in Gai Lou are made of straw (sorghum stalks). After the bricks were burned, hundreds of people lined up at Chen Zhuang South Kiln, which was 1 km away. The ancestral grave of the owner's family in the building is at 2.

The place names around Zhulou Village can also witness its long history and the existence of buildings and courtyards. Nanyuanding, Nanpaifang, Xizhuang Lake, Dongyaoyuan, East, West, North and South Fences, Zhaizi, Zhaimenkou, East Enemy Building are all familiar to the villagers.

Zhulou, located on the north bank of Heitz River, has convenient transportation, fertile land and rich people's lives in ancient times. At that time, there were many buildings and courtyards in a village, which was rare in northern Anhui. It is said that people with 10,000 mu of fertile land in the Ming Dynasty can get the inscription of the emperor. I wonder who made the existing "Qinzhengtang" plaque in Zhulou Village? There are many little-known stories in Zhulou Village that need to be excavated and sorted out, and some of them have been handed down.

There are also descendants of Zhu in Shaanxi, distributed in Shangluo and An. According to Zhu's genealogy in Luoyuan Town, Luonan County, Shangluo City, about 200 people migrated from Dongting Lake in the late Ming Dynasty. There are "Wan", "Bang" and "Jian" in contemporary times, and several existing genealogies have been lost.
