The Zhou family has been blessed for generations. Now let's take a look at the latest genealogy:
Zhouyi (Xian Tong ten philosophers, Xian Tong Jinshi)-Zhou (land, tea factory, mountain forest)-Zhou-Zhou Guangde-these generations are farmers, and they are no longer officials.
Zhou Guangde-Zhou Yushan (namely Zhou Fu and Zhou Lanxi) joined Li Hongzhang's staff in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. He used to be the governor of Shandong, the governor of Liangjiang (Jiangsu and Jiangxi) and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and then moved to Tianjin Yangqiao. He died at the age of eighty-five (192 1 year). Puyi was regarded as an important official in the late Qing Dynasty because of his "prudence".
Zhou Fusheng's sixth son, Zhou Xuehai (in the 18th year of Guangxu 1892), was a scholar and a member of the cabinet. Zhou, Zhou, Zhou Xueyuan (who died young) and Zhou Xueyuan all have jobs.
Zhou Xuehai, the eldest son of Zhou Fu, moved to Yangzhou (as an alternate Taoist priest in Jiangsu). The Zhou family runs the salt industry in Taixing, Jiangsu Province, and has five sons and five daughters.
These five sons are: Zhou Mingda (mathematics, stamp collecting), Zhou Mingkui (former surgical director of Union Medical College Hospital), Zhou Mingxian (namely Zhou Shutao), Zhou (good epigraphy book, donated by the Forbidden City to epigraphy of Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties) and Zhou Mingyuan (Qian Shang).
Zhou's fourth son, Zhou's eldest son and Zhou. Zhou Mingtai, the word Zhifu. He is a little younger than his two cousins, so his collection hobby is greatly influenced by them. Zhou gave him some of his high-grade lute collections, and he compiled six volumes of "Study on Continued lute" and four volumes of "Study on Continued lute" according to these collections. But his greatest achievement in collection is the collection of drama literature. Zhou Mingtai has a special complex for China's plays, and his contacts with famous actors such as Yang Xiaolou, Mei Lanfang, Yu Shuyan and Shang Xiaoyun have enabled him to study the theory of drama. In order to collect books and materials of Chinese opera, he often ignores his daughter. Xu Zhiheng's manuscripts of Qin Liu Zhai, Five Blessingg Ji, Jin Wan Ji, Gan Long Neiting, Yi Qiang's Liu Jiang Ji, Kun Qiang's Jin Gua Ji, etc. , are rare music treasures. The figures of Kunqu Opera, such as Yue Bai and Returning to the Army in Yourun Ji, a copy of Zhide Bookstore, and Yi Jian in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, are the first-hand materials to study the development of drama body movements. These precious drama books and materials, titled as "Lucky Collection" and "Excellent Books of Zhide Bookstore" respectively, were donated to the country in stages before and after liberation, and are now collected in Shanghai Library and China Peking Opera Theatre respectively.
The second son, Zhijun Zhou, has been working in Shandong for a long time. Before his death, he served as deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Eighth People's Congress of Shandong Province and chairman of the Shandong Federation of Industry and Commerce.
Zhou Shujia, the third son of Zhou, studied at Tongji University. I have been engaged in industry and commerce, but in the end I got nothing. Business failed and he was disheartened. He lived in seclusion in Qingdao Buddhist College and made great achievements. He has taught many courses such as the history of Buddhism in China, Buddhist literature, Buddhism and the theory of three senses in colleges and universities, and has written a large number of theoretical monographs on the study of Buddhist culture. He is one of the three great Buddhist masters in China. In his spare time, Zhou Shujia has a special liking for Dunhuang mural collection, and often pays a lot of money for it. He has a close personal relationship with the painter Huang, and his Dunhuang murals are inscribed by the painter. Since 1930, he has taught the history of Buddhism in China in Peking University, Tsinghua and other schools. 65438-0940 China Buddhist College was established in Beijing. After liberation, he served as the vice president and provost of China Buddhist College, and wrote many books, such as History of China Studies and History of Indian Buddhism. /kloc-in 0/940, the Jushilin Library was established, with more than 10,000 volumes of collected scriptures, all of which were publicly borrowed. Later, he also exhibited some exquisite Buddhist paintings in his collection, such as the statues of five Daming kings in the Jin Dynasty, the land and water paintings in the Ming Dynasty and the 25 Buddha statues in Tibet. Unfortunately, his collections were completely destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Zhou Shujia died on 1970. Premier Zhou Enlai made it clear that both Xinhua News Agency and People's Daily reported the news.
Their brother is the most influential representative of the Zhou family in the third generation.
The outstanding representative of the third generation of Zhou family is the third son Zhou Shutao. As a teenager, he studied in Yangzhou. After his parents died one after another, he went to Qingdao and Tianjin, where he studied and ran an industry with his fourth uncle Zhou. 19 18 When Zhou Shutao presided over the preparation of Qingdao Huaxin Cotton Mill, there was no cotton mill in Qingdao. After learning that there would be a Huaxin cotton mill, the Japanese stepped up the construction of a Japanese cotton mill to produce yarn before the Huaxin factory was put into production. Later, I built a new factory in Japan in an attempt to crush Huaxin cotton mill. Zhou Shutao painstakingly managed and took the lead in the competition with the Japanese, which made Qingdao Huaxin stand firm and develop rapidly. After the Japanese army invaded Qingdao, Zhou Shutao refused to cooperate with the Japanese army and angrily abandoned Huaxin. After liberation, Zhou Shutao served as vice mayor of Tianjin and vice chairman of China People's Political Consultative Conference.
Most of the fourth and fifth generations of Zhou family turned to education, and the number of university professors was enough to run a university. Famous professors are Zhou Yiliang, Zhou Shaoliang and Peking University. Zhou Yiliang, a professor at Northeast Forestry University, said. Zhou Jueliang, a professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University; Professor Zhou Gaoliang of Stanford University; Zhou Yuliang, Professor, Department of Biology, Nankai University.
It can be summarized as follows: the first generation is an official, the second generation is engaged in business, the third generation mostly lives by collecting because of the limitations of the times, and the fourth generation is almost all university experts, which truly realizes the traditional ideal of "family origin" and "generation after generation" of China people.
