King Xian of Zhou

King Xian of Zhou (Chinese: 周顯王; pinyin: Zhōu Xiǎn Wáng), personal name Ji Bian, was a king of the Chinese Zhou dynasty.

[2] He sent gifts to many of the feudal states, supposedly his vassals, particularly the Qin and Chu states.

Late in his reign, the rulers of the states declared themselves kings, and ceased to recognise the king of Zhou as even nominally their overlord.

[3] After his death, he was succeeded by his son, King Shenjing.
