Mr. Zhou Dunyi of Lianxi was born in the Dragon Boat Festival in the first year of Tianxi in Song Zhenzong (10 17), and 20 17 will be the Millennium anniversary. In Loutian Village, the hometown of Lianxi, there is such a couplet:
This couplet clearly shows that Lu Xun (formerly known as Zhou Shuren) and Zhou Enlai are descendants of Zhou Dunyi; It also highlights the most shining Gemini among the descendants of Mr. Lian Xi, the originator of neo-Confucianism.
19 1 1 In June, the Revolution of 1911 broke out. At that time, Zhou Enlai was only 13. He studied in Dongguan Model School in Shenyang, took the lead in cutting off braids and supported the revolution. Thousands of miles away in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, Lu Xun, then also called Zhou Shuren, led a large number of students to form a speech team and took to the streets to publicize revolutionary ideas and maintain local order. This move had a great influence in Shaoxing, and Zhou Shuren became the focus of people's discussion for a time. My fourth uncle Zhou also heard about it and said to him, "There is a teacher named Shaoxing in his hometown. Since the revolution, he has done several things that are quite quiet and well received! " This is the first time that Zhou Enlai has heard of Zhou Shuren, so he has great respect for him.
In order to seek the truth and road of saving the country and the people, both Mr. Lu Xun and Mr. Zhou Enlai have studied in Japan. Mr. Lu Xun saw the root of Japanese ignorance in the news films of the Sino-Russian war and resolutely abandoned medicine and joined the literature; Encouraged by the October Revolution, Zhou Enlai devoted himself to the correct path of China. When Zhou Enlai was determined to serve the country with revolution, Lu Xun had stood tall in the literary world for many years and had already become a pioneer mentor in the revolutionary ideological circle. As a younger generation, Zhou Enlai worships Lu Xun very much. At this time, he didn't know that the great writer who dared to speak was his uncle. At the same time, Mr. Lu Xun also praised Zhou Enlai, a talented young man, who organized an association to promote revolution in Tianjin. At that time, Zhou Enlai and Lu Xun met once. The "Enlightenment Society" led by Zhou Enlai invited Lu Xun to give a speech, but Lu Xun was unable to get away because he was repairing his residence, and entrusted his second brother Zhou Zuoren, so they missed the opportunity to meet. Until Lu Xun's death, the two great men of Zhou failed to meet.
19381June19, at the conference commemorating the second anniversary of Lu Xun's death in Wuhan, Zhou Enlai said, "I may be the family of Mr. Lu Xun by blood, because I was born in Zhou Jia, Shaoxing." It shows that Zhou Enlai still has a solid textual research on the issue of consanguinity with Mr. Lu Xun. But Zhou Enlai didn't just guess, but took it as seriously as his usual style. 1939, Zhou Enlai returned to his hometown Shaoxing to inspect the anti-Japanese military and publicize the anti-Japanese United front. There, he not only saw the old house of Bainiantang not far from Lu Xun's former residence, but also went to the ancestral grave. Also this time, the relationship between Premier Zhou and Lu Xun's family finally settled. Since then, when he talked about his hometown with his younger brother Zhou, he once again mentioned that he and Lu Xun are descendants of Zhou Dunyi.
1952, when Xu Guangping visited Zhou Enlai's home in Zhongnanhai, Zhou Enlai, who was already the founding prime minister, solemnly said to Xu Guangping, "I should call you aunt." Xu Guangping said with a smile, it's no big deal. Zhou Enlai went on to say that he had learned that he and Lu Xun really belonged to their own family, but their relationship was very distant, and Lu Xun would be a generation older than him according to his seniority. This shows that the prime minister has proved at this time. 1969 During the Ninth National Congress, I visited Zhou, who was present at the meeting, and said kindly in Shaoxing dialect, "Old Jian, I have already checked. You are the twentieth grandson of Shaoxing Zhou family, I am the twentieth grandson of Shaoxing Zhou family, and you are my elder. I want to call your uncle. " Zhou hurriedly said, "You are the Prime Minister, and I am not worthy."
According to Zhou Enlai Family published by Party Construction Reading Publishing House 1998, Lu Xun is the 32nd generation grandson of Zhou Dunyi, and Zhou Enlai is the 33rd generation grandson of Zhou Dunyi. In other words, Lu Xun and Premier Zhou's family come from the same clan, and there is no doubt that Lu Xun is a generation older than Zhou Enlai. In addition, Lu Xun's mother, Lu Rui, is also the niece of Premier Zhou's grandmother's cousin.
Premier Zhou urged this family to be friendly. The two great men are cousins of the same ancestry. This is really what people who love them are happy to see.
