King Ping of Zhou (died 720 BC) (), formerly romanized as King P’ing of Chou,〔Phương Thi Danh (2001), ''Niên biểu lịch sử Trung Quốc''〕 was the thirteenth king of the Chinese Zhou Dynasty and the first of Eastern Zhou Dynasty.〔''Records of the Grand Historian'' by Sima Qian〕 He was the son of King You of Zhou and Queen Shen, and was known as Crown Prince Yijiu before ascending the throne.〔''The Cambridge history of ancient China: from the origins of civilization to 221 B.C.'' Written by Michael Loewe.〕 King You had exiled Queen Shen and Yijiu after the king became enamoured with his concubine Bao Si and made her queen.〔 Chapter 1〕 As a result, Queen Shen’s father, the Marquess of Shen, teamed with the Quanrong nomads and local satellite states to overthrow King You.〔Sima Qian. ''Records of the Grand Historian'', "Zhou Dynasty Annals".〕〔''Bamboo Annals''〕 You was killed, and Bao Si captured. Yijiu ascended the throne and was posthumously known as ''King Ping of Zhou''. King Ping moved the Zhou Dynasty east from Haojing to Luoyang,〔Zheng Zhu (郑注), "Classic of Rites · Unified Sacrifices'' (礼记·祭统》）〕 thus ending the Western Zhou and beginning the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn period. He is the first Zhou king to be mentioned in the chronological account of the Zuo Zhuan. Over 14 centuries after King Ping’s death, Tang Dynasty Empress regnant Wu Zetian claimed ancestry from King Ping through his son Prince Wu, and changed the dynastic name to Zhou, which was reverted to Tang after her death.〔Paludan, 101〕 == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「King Ping of Zhou」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
