Zhou Dynasty king of China from 368 to 321 BC
King Xian of Zhou (Chinese: 周顯王; pinyin: Zhōu Xiǎn Wáng), personal name Ji Bian, was a king of the Chinese Zhou dynasty.[1]
Very little is known about him. He succeeded his brother King Lie in 368 BC and ruled until his death in 321 BC.[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.[4]
