According to the history book "Three Kingdoms? Book of Wu? Biography of Zhou Yu": "Zhou Yu, whose courtesy name was Gongjin, was born in Shu, Lujiang." Because of this historical data, there is a debate over whether Zhou Yu's hometown is in Lujiang or Shucheng.

Up to now, there is still no exact historical data on where Zhou Yu’s hometown is. The dispute over Zhou Yu's hometown in Lujiang and Shucheng was acrimonious. Both sides came up with local information proving that Zhou Yu's hometown was in the local area.

For example, Lujiang believes that Zhou Yu’s tomb and Xiao Qiao’s tomb are both in Lujiang. According to the ancients’ idea of ??returning fallen leaves to their roots, Lujiang is Zhou Yu’s hometown. Moreover, Lujiang also took out the 1999 edition of "Cihai" which stated that Zhou Yu was from Lujiang to prove that Lujiang was Zhou Yu's hometown.

Shucheng believes from the perspective of geographical changes that Shucheng is Zhou Yu's hometown. Because at that time, Lujiang was a county and Shucheng was a county under Lujiang County. Lujiang County at that time was much larger than Lujiang now, so to be precise, Shucheng should be Zhou Yu's hometown. Moreover, Shucheng also took out the "Genealogy of the Zhou Family" and pointed out that it was clearly recorded that "Zhou Yucheng" lived in Madi, Shucheng, which is now Qianchahe Town, Shucheng County. There was also "Zhou Yucheng" where Zhou Yu stationed troops in Shucheng. ruins. Therefore, Shucheng believes that Zhou Yu's hometown is in Shucheng.

Although both Lujiang and Shucheng have produced some evidence to prove that Zhou Yu is a local, neither Lujiang nor Shucheng is convinced by the other. Until now, there is no conclusion to prove that Zhou Yu’s hometown is. Lujiang is still Shucheng. The two sides are still at loggerheads over the dispute over Zhou Yu's hometown. The two places even applied to the National Trademark Office for a series of trademarks involving "Zhou Yu's hometown" in May 2010 and February 2011 respectively, starting a trademark war with each other.

In 2015, the Anhui Provincial Government held a special coordination meeting and decided not to register "Zhou Yu's Hometown" related trademarks. At this point, the trademark war between the two places came to an end.

The two "Zhou Yu Avenues" that appeared this time are another reflection of the dispute between Lujiang and Shucheng over Zhou Yu's hometown. It seems that in a short period of time, the dispute over Zhou Yu's hometown will continue between the two places.
