Xian Zhen (died 627 BC) was a general and politician of the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn period of Chinese history.
Consequently, Qi and Qin grew resentful towards Chu, which shifted its focus to Wey and Cao rather than continuing the siege of Song.
In the Battle of Chengpu, Xian Zhen led the Jin forces to a decisive victory over Ziyu’s Chu army.
Xian Zhen, angered by the perceived disregard for his soldiers' merits, confronted Duke Xiang in a fit of rage and spat in his face.
In a final act of atonement for his earlier disrespect towards Duke Xiang, Xian Zhen removed his armor and helmet, charged into the midst of the Di army, and died in battle.
