Ping of Zhou

Sponsored Links
King Ping of Zhou (before 771 BC - 720 BC) (ch. 周平王 zhōu píng wáng), also referred to as Crown Prince Yijiu or King P'ing of Chou was the thirteenth sovereign of the Chinese Zhou Dynasty and the first of Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He was the son of King You of Zhou and Queen Shen.

King You of Zhou had exiled Queen Shen and Crown Prince Yijiu after the king became enamored with his concubine Baosi and made her queen. As a result, Queen Shen's father, the Marquis of Shen, teamed with local satellite states to overthrow King You. King You was killed, Baosi captured and Yijiu acquired his father's throne as King Ping of Zhou.

King Ping of Zhou moved the Zhou Dynasty east to Leyi, thus ending the Xi (Western) Zhou Dynasty and beginning the Dong (Eastern) Zhou Dynasty.

Ping is noteworthy as an ancestor of Wu Zetian, who would later style her dynasty the later Zhou in recognition of her ancestry.
