TheState of Xíng (Xingguo) was a vassalstate of ancient China during theZhou dynasty (1046–221 BCE) andSpring and Autumn period (770–475 BCE), ruled by descendants of the Jī family (姬).[1] Its original location was on the plain east of the Shanxi plateau and north of most of the other states.
Sometime between 1046 and 1043 BCE,King Wu of Zhou granted lands around modern dayXingtai City, toPengshu of Xing (邢朋叔), who was the fourth son of theDuke of Zhou. In 662 BCEDuke Huan of Qi forced the people of Xing south east intoHebei Province to a place known as Yiyi (夷仪) (modern dayLiaocheng City, Shandong about 90 miles east south-east of Xingtai). In 635 BCE, during the rule of Duke Yuan of Xing, the State of Xing was wiped out by theState of Wey.[2]
