Zhou Duanfei

Answer 1

Consort Zhou Duan was one of the consorts of the Bright God Sect, and her age was unknown. In March of the tenth year of Wanli (1582), she was granted the title of Duan Concubine, ranking first among the nine concubines. Her father was promoted to the third rank of commander Tongzhi, while the fathers of the other eight concubines were only granted the fifth rank. Consort Zhou Duan was able to become the head of the nine concubines because she was dignified, generous, and well-mannered. She had a leading role among the nine concubines. In the 19th year of Wanli (September 27, 1591), she gave birth to Zhu Changhao, the fifth son of the emperor. In November of the 22nd year of Wanli (1594), she was conferred the title of Duanfei, but neither mother nor son was favored.

Concubine Zhou Duan experienced the last four emperors of the Ming Dynasty: Zhu Yijun of the Ming Shenzong, Zhu Changluo of the Ming Mingzong, Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Xizong, and Zhu Youjian of the Ming Sizong. In 1644, Zhang Xianzhong captured Sichuan and killed the 50-year-old Rui Wang Zhu Changhao. The Ming Dynasty also fell in October of the same year. Consort Zhou Duan experienced the pain of losing her son and faced the destruction of her country and family. She returned to her mother's house to live. By the time of Shunzhi, she was already in her 80s, but the year of her death was unknown. She was buried in the tomb of the four concubines of the Shenzong Sect. The tomb faced south, with two walls and two doors. It was 123 meters long from north to south and 60 meters wide from east to west. There were only some ruins left in the inner and outer cities. There were no architectural ruins. Other than pillars and stones, there was also an earth tomb and a broken stone table.
