There are two sources of Zou's family: one comes from Zi's family, which was formed in the Spring and Autumn Period and took the feudal city as its surname; One is from the surname Cao, which was formed in the Warring States period and took the country name as the surname. According to Zou's genealogy and related data, Zou's family mainly thrived in the vicinity of his birthplace today's Shandong.
