Are there descendants of Sun Quan and Sun Yat-sen in Longmen Town?

One of the currently recognized settlements of Sun Quan’s descendants is Longmen Town, Fuyang, Zhejiang. Sun Quan’s branch has always been called the Fuchun Sun family. In 2006, this newspaper organized Nanjing citizens with the Sun surname to go to Longmen to find their roots, and promoted the establishment of the Nanjing Sun Clan Association. According to research by the descendants of the Sun family in both places, there are many Sun families in Nanjing, and they are indeed descended from Sun Quan. However, because Nanjing is an immigrant city, although there are many descendants of the Sun family, the family moves in and out frequently, and there is no gathering place for Sun Quan's descendants.

The Sun family of Longmen once invited the Sun family of Nanjing to find relatives through this newspaper

Longmen is one of the largest settlements of the Sun surname in China, although there are only more than 2,600 households and 7,000 people in a city. There is a remaining population, but more than 90% are villagers surnamed Sun.

The Sun family of Longmen once came to Nanjing to find their roots. Descendants of the Sun family generally believe that the founder Sun Quan made his fortune in Nanjing (proclaimed himself emperor and established the capital) and was buried here, which is of extremely important significance to the Sun family. Not only that, they also invited the Nanjing Sun family through this newspaper to go to Longmen to find their roots.

Nanjing has many relics of the Sun family

Inviting descendants of the Sun family in Nanjing is not a sudden idea. Experts say that surnames such as Sun and Zhu were already common surnames in Jiangnan as early as the Three Kingdoms period. , so far, Nanjing has 100,000 people surnamed Sun. It also has a large number of historical relics related to Sun Quan, such as Sun Quan's tomb, the Sun family's tomb in Dongwu, Jiangning Shangfang discovered in 2005, the Sun family's ancestral tombs (Sun family's ancestral tomb tower) in Longtan, Qixia District, the Sun family garden and the Sun family ancestral hall. For example, the epitaphs on the tombs of the Sun family in Longtan, Qixia District, clearly record that the Sun family living in Longtan originated from the Sun family in Fuyang, and took root in Nanjing around the time Sun Quan established his capital.

After searching for their roots, the descendants of the Sun family in Nanjing established the Nanjing Sun Clan Association. According to a survey by the clan association, the Nanjing Sun family has no obvious common ancestors because Nanjing is an immigrant city with citizens coming from all over the world. The descendants of the Sun family in Nanjing have successively sorted out the Sun family genealogy of Jinling Quanfu Lane and Wangfuyuan, Jiangning Wangshu Sun family tree, Nanjing Yinma Lane Sun family tree, etc., and incorporated them into the Sun family tree.

The owner of No. 17 Yinma Lane was once a descendant of the Sun family

According to the visit of Sun Yongqian, the head of the Sun Family Nanjing Association, the remains of the descendants of the Sun family in Fuchun, Nanjing, except the tomb of Sun Quan mentioned above , outside Shangfang Tomb, Nanjing Wangfu Street was also the Sun Family Garden where Sun Quan’s descendants lived. In addition, there was an ancient building at No. 17, Yinma Lane, in the south of the old city, which was the old residence of the Sun family. It has experienced ups and downs for 260 years.

According to reports, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, a small official named Sun Hui from the Sun family in Fuchun came to Jinling from Zhejiang. A house with six entrances and a two-story building in the center was built on the side. Sun Hui enjoyed growing bamboo and orchids, and left the eight words "loyalty, filial piety, hard study, diligence, thrift, and harmony" as the motto of running the family for future generations. His son It was Sun Kai, a painter in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. Sun Zhihe, his direct grandson, was an honest official. He lived in the ancestral home until the end and never added an inch of earthwork to the Sun family's old house. This place was once a place for poetry and painting. Weng Tonghe, the master of the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and Yanliu, the last flower shopper in the late Qing Dynasty, both visited.

Later, the Sun family's old house experienced two major disasters and many things. During the Taiping Rebellion in the third year of Xianfeng, three members of the Sun family were killed in the old house, and some property was destroyed. In 1937 The Japanese invaded Nanjing and the family fled to Chongqing. Since then, Sun's old house has been in ruins. In the early days of liberation, drug addicts were detained here and a carton processing factory was set up here. Later, it was filled with people. It disappeared in 2003 due to school expansion
