周氏，澤州人，嫁為安西張興祖妻。 Lady Zhou was from Zezhou and married Zhang Xingzu of Anxi.

年二十四，興祖歿，舅姑欲使再適，周氏弗從，曰：「妾家祖、父皆早世，妾祖母、妾母並以貞操聞，妾或中道易節，是忘故夫而辱先人也。 At twenty-four Xingzu died. Her parents-in-law wished her to remarry, but Lady Zhou refused, saying, "In my family grandfather and father both died young. My grandmother and my mother were both known for chastity. If I changed my resolve mid-course I would forget my husband and disgrace my ancestors.
