Chu Kingdom (Han dynasty)

Liu Jiao, brother of the emperor, gained the title "King of Chu" and ruled over the land west of the Huai River,[2] while the rest of Han Xin's territories eventually became the Wu Kingdom.

In 187 BC, Xue was split off to form the Lu Kingdom (魯國) for Zhang Yan (張偃), a grandson of the Empress Dowager Lü.

After the rebellion was quelled and Wu killed, Chu passed to his son Liu Li (劉禮),[4] although its territory was reduced to several counties near the capital Pengcheng.

Ying was stripped of his title during Emperor Ming's reign, and the region was subsequently administered as the Chu Commandery.

[7] In late Western Han period, the kingdom administered 7 counties: Pengcheng, Liu (留), Wu (梧), Fuyang (傅陽), Lü (呂), Wuyuan (武原) and Ziqiu (甾丘).
