Abstract
After the establishment of Ming Dynasty, the first emperor ZhuyuanZhang made his own son Zhusu the lord of Kaifeng, called the clan of Zhou. In the later two centuries, the clan of Zhou propagated much faster than the other clans. The profound culture in Kaifeng affected the clan living here. Because of its abundant financial resourses and good nurture, the clan of Zhou also affected the situation, culture and the custom of the city. Through the single study of this clan, this article tried to research the relationship between the two in order to reflect some historical characteristics of Kaifeng throughout the whole Ming Dynasty.
