King Qing of Zhou

King Qing of Zhou, known in Chinese as 周頃王 (Zhōu Qǐng Wáng), was a significant figure in the history of China's Zhou dynasty. Born Ji Renchen, he was the son of King Xiang and ascended to the throne in six hundred eighteen BC following the death of his father. His reign marked a continuation of the Zhou dynasty's legacy during a pivotal era.

During his time as king, King Qing fathered three sons: Princes Ban, Yu, and Jizi. His lineage played a crucial role in the succession of the throne, with his eldest son, Ban, later becoming King Kuang after King Qing's death in six hundred thirteen BC.

King Qing's brief reign, though not extensively documented, contributed to the ongoing narrative of the Zhou dynasty, a period characterized by significant cultural and political developments in ancient China.
