The Y chromosome of Zhu Xi (1130-1200), a Confucian scholar and Neo-Confucian scholar of China's Song Dynasty, was haplogroup O1b1a1a1a1b (O-F2890) (Note 1) (Note 2). This is based on samples obtained from multiple descendants of Zhu Xi (Zhu Zi), including his 26th generation male descendants, who currently live in the United States. Based on this result, it is estimated that the successive emperors of the Ming Dynasty, who inherited the paternal lineage with the surname Zhu, all belonged to the haplogroup O1b1a1a1a1b (O-F2890).
While in Cochinchina, Barrow got to learn a lot about “Caung-shung.” This was how Gia Long was known at the time, as he was still following the era title of the Lê Dynasty – Cảnh Hưng 景興, which became “Caung-shung” to Europeans. Barrow writes at length about Caung-shung, and even gives an account of his daily schedule. In talking about his eating habits, Barrow makes the following statement:
“Like a true Chinese descended, as he boasts to be, from the imperial family of Ming, he always eats alone, not permitting either his wife or any other part of his family to sit down to the same table with him.”
The Y chromosome of the first emperor of Vietnam's Nguyen dynasty (reigned: 1802-1820), the Chia Long Emperor (Nguan Fu Huao),
is haplogroup O1b1a1a (O-M95).
