The House of Zhou (Chinese: 周) is royal family in China, descended from the line of King Sūzhōng, and going back, are the descendants of the Zhou dynasty, one of the earliest dynasties of China. They are currently the ruling monarchs of the Southern Kingdom and the Principality of Chongqing located in the Central Kingdom.
Even prior to becoming crowned as the King of the Southern Realm and the King of Chongqing, Sūzhōng (then-known by his secular name Chiang Kai-Shek) was already descended from the Duke of Zhou, a revelation which led to the Zhanhou Emperor crowning him as the King of the Southern Realm. However, the House of Zhou was also recovered as a result of Chiang Kai-Shek's willingness to unite China under the rule of the Zhanhou Emperor and facilitating in the Beifang-Kuomintang meetings with Zhang Xueliang.
Members of the House of Zhou re-established themselves as being very important in Chinese politics. the only biological son of Sūzhōng, Shuchang, was involved in the modernization and modern urban planning in China, and also had strong economic links to Russia. His granddaughter, Queen Shuizan is the current head, is one of the highest-ranking Manzhou quan martial artists, and the head of several stables. His second grandson, Prince Shuǐlǐng I served as the Admiral of the Imperial Chinese Navy from 1980 to 1987.
Although King Sūzhōng was a Christian, however, one of his grandsons, Prince Yiming (Chiang Hsao-yen), reverted to Chinese Folk Religion. The current head, Queen Shuǐzǎn and Prince Shilin (Winston Chang) stayed Christians, and Prince Dongyang (Chiang Hsiao-wu) became a Taoist. therefore, the royal house now has a mix of Christians, Taoists and Traditional Chinese Folk religion practitioners. However, many suspect Sūzhōng wasn't really Christian, and his "conservation to Christianity" was politically-motivated to garner support from Western powers.
