sri82017 Zhong (stat) - Wikipedia Zheng (state) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Zheng (Chinese: 4; Old Chinese: */dJreng-s) was a vassal state in China during the Zhou Dynasty (1046—221 BCE) located in the centre of ancient China in modern-day Henan Province on the North China Plain about 75 miles (121 km) east of the royal capital at Luoyang. It was the most powerful of the vassal states at the beginning of the Eastern Zhou (771-701 BCE), and was the first state to clearly establish a code of law in its late period of 543 BCE, Its ruling house had the surname Ji (fi), making them a branch of the Zhou royal house, who were given the rank of Bo ({fA), corresponding roughly to being a Count, Contents = 1 Foundation = 2 Spring and Autumn period = 2.1 Early dominance = 2.2 Later Period = 3 List of rulers = 4 Other people from Zheng = 5 Sources, references, external links, quotes Foundation Zheng was founded in 806 BC when King Xuan of Zhou, the penultimate king of the Western Zhou, made his younger brother Prince You (+E -A¢) Duke of Zheng and granted him lands within the royal domain in the eponymous Zheng in modern-day Hua County, Shaanxi on the Wei River east of Xi'an, Prince You, known posthumously as Duke Huan of Zheng, established what would be the last bastion of Western Zhou. He went on to serve as Situ under King You of Zhou. When the Quanrong tribes sacked the Zhou capital Haojing in 771 BC, Duke Huan was killed along with his nephew King You of Zhou. Duke Huan was succeeded by his son Duke Wu (S602). Along with Marquis Wen of Jin, Duke Wu supported King Ping of Zhou against a rival, thereby helping to establish the Eastern Zhou. He re-established the state of Zheng in modem-day Xinzheng (meaning New Zheng), Henan, and annexed the states of Eastern Guo and Kuai.
