"Zou" is a Chinese character with the second general specification. This word first appeared in the Warring States script, and the ancient glyph changed from Yi (which later evolved into "Li") to Chu (chú). "Zou" was originally an ancient name, formerly known as Zhu (zhū), and his hometown was in Zoucheng City, Shandong Province today. Later generations took it as their surname.
The pictophonetic character "Zou (Zou)" was written in the Warring States period, with "Chu (Chu)" on the left and the sound on the side. The right part is the city next to the shape, which can represent the country, the capital, administrative divisions and so on. Zou's original meaning is the name of an ancient country, so it comes from the city.
When it developed into an official script, it was changed to "Yi" next to "Yi". In addition, the word "Zhu" in official script is occasionally written in a cross shape. The radical "Zhu" is simplified to "Zhu", and "Zou" is also simplified to "Zou" by analogy.
Zou is the hometown of Mencius, the Confucian "Asian sage"; Lu is the hometown of Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, so people call "Zou Lu" a country of cultural prosperity and etiquette. For example, Yu Xin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty wrote "Mourning for the South of the Yangtze River": "Kou Gai is at home, and Zou Lu is at home."
