Based on Zou Family Tree and Chong’an County New Record in the Republic of China, Xiamei Zou’s surname was originally derived from Nanfeng in Jiangxi. During the period of Emperor Shunzhi, the forebear of Family Zou moved from Nanfeng to Shangrao, and Zou Maozhang, his son, moved from Shangrao to Chong’an. He raked in big revenues from the tea industry, and built more than 70 houses that then grew into a city. Family Zou’s Abode is the most imposing, as it has become a landmark ancient building in Xiamei Village, and was announced as among the fifth batch of cultural relics protection sites by the People’s Government of Fujian Province in January 2001.
