Descendants of the Ming Yuanling Prince

One lineage derives from the Ji surname and descends from Zhu Guijue, Prince of Yuanling in the Ming dynasty. In the early Qing, descendants adopted the ancient name 隽 of Yuanling as their surname to avoid persecution; the lineage is pronounced shǔn, and some members restored the Zhu surname in the late Qing.
