Guan (Chinese: 管; pinyin: Guǎn; c. 1046–1040 BC) was an ancient Chinese city-state in present-day Henan.
Its capital was Guancheng or Guan City (管城) in present-day Guancheng Hui District of Zhengzhou[1] and its power was limited to the immediate surrounding area.
Guan was established soon after the founding of the Zhou dynasty as an appanage for King Wu's younger brother, who was known as Guan Shu Xian.
Following the death of King Wu, however, the Three Guards and Wu Geng rebelled against the regency of the Duke of Zhou.
