From the current research data, it cannot be confirmed that Zhu Ziqing is a descendant of the Ming Dynasty royal family.
Zhu Ziqing is a famous writer. His ancestors lived in Shaoxing, Yangzhou, Guannan, and Haizhou. His family was displaced for nearly two hundred years. It was not until Zhu Ziqing became famous that he settled in Beijing. Zhu Ziqing’s descendants, Zhu Runsheng and Zhu Xiaotao, are looking for their roots. In the process, there are also many mysteries that cannot be answered.
Mr. Zhu Ziqing’s mother is Zhou, the daughter of Zhou Mingfu from Shaoxing. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Runsheng and Zhu Xiaotao conducted many searches on the relationship between the Shanyin Zhu family and Lu Xun and his first wife Zhu An, but to no avail.
Judging from historical time, Zhu Ziqing's great ancestor probably lived during the Jiaqing period. Since ancient times, there have been masters in Shaoxing. It is speculated that Zhu Ziqing's great ancestor should be engaged in this profession, that is, he was an ordinary scholar-bureaucrat family in the middle and lower classes. Coupled with the misfortune of the family, several generations were displaced and traveled around, so it is unlikely that there are written records in local chronicles. Many mysteries can only wait for the passage of time, and perhaps new discoveries will be made.
