In the spring and Autumn period, Ji Tong, Duke of Luzhuang (693-660 BC), had a son named gongzisui, whose name was Xiangzhong. In the 19th year of Zhengxiang (26th year of jilishen, the Duke of Luli, 633 BC), he was a senior official of the state of Lu and an envoy to the state of Chu.

In the reign of Ji Xing, Duke of Lu Wen (626-609 BC), he became a senior official of the state of Lu. At that time, his mansion was given to the east gate of the capital city of Lu (now Qufu in Shandong Province), so people called him "Xiangzhong of the East Gate". Lu Wengong's second wife, Chongji, called for Jing Ying. She had a very good relationship with Dongmen Xiangzhong. Therefore, under Jing Ying's instruction, Dongmen Xiangzhong advised his nephew Lu Wengong to make his son, the son born to Jing Ying, the prince. However, she was strongly opposed by Uncle Zhong Huibo (uncle Zhongchi). Later, Xiangzhong of Dongmen sent an envoy to the state of Qi in the seventh year of jirenchen (the 15th year of Duke Wen of Lu, the first year of Duke Yi of Qi, and the first year of merchant Jiang, 612 BC). He privately asked the newly ascended Duke Yi of Qi to support his son Wo to inherit the throne of Lu. Qi Yi just wanted to control the state of Lu, so he readily agreed.

All the families of Sanhuan had been expanding their power in the state of Lu, which directly threatened the ruling position of the monarch of Lu. Later, it developed to the point of expelling Lu Zhaogong and sifengshi. At that time, Jisun's family in Sanhuan even danced in court with the eight Yi dance of the emperor of Zhou. Therefore, Confucius said angrily, "it's tolerable, but who can't?". Xiangzhong of Dongmen tried his best to maintain the orthodoxy of the king of Lu. He tried many times to eradicate the power of Sanhuan, but failed. On the contrary, he and Sanhuan became enemies. In the sixth year of Jiyu (the eighth year of Duke Xuangong of Lu, 601 BC), Xiangzhong of Dongmen passed away, and his son Gongsun Guifu succeeded the Shangfu of Lu.

In the 16th year of Jiyu (the 19th year of Duke Xuan of Lu, 591 BC), Duke Xuan of Lu died. Ji sun's family in Sanhuan took the opportunity to denounce Dongmen Xiangzhong's supporting Duke Xuan of Lu in the past as "killing the emperor and establishing the commoner". They united with mengsun's and shusun's other two forces to expel Gongsun Guifu, and supporting Ji Hei humerus as the monarch of Lu, which is for Duke Cheng of Lu. Gongsun's father had no choice but to flee to the state of Qi, and Jiang Wuye, the Duke of Qi Qing, took him in. Later, he took Dongmen, where his family lived, as his surname to read qianrong. Among the descendants of Gongsun Guifu, most of them followed this surname, called Dongmen. Later, some of them changed their surnames from Shengwen bamboo slips to single Dongshi and MenShi, which have been handed down from generation to generation.
