Prince or King of Yan (both , ''Yànwáng'', in Chinese) was a Chinese feudal title referring to the ancient Chinese State of Yan and to fiefs including its former capital of Yanjing (located within modern Beijing). Typically, the title is translated as "King of Yan" for rulers prior to the establishment of the Chinese empire by Shi Huangdi and "Prince of Yan" for rulers after the restoration of feudal titles by the Han dynasty. It was generally held by powerful members of the imperial family and owing to its important position protecting central China from Mongolian and Manchurian invaders typically included powerful and well-fortified military forces. More specifically, "''Yanwang''" in Chinese and "Prince of Yan" in English typically refers to Zhu Di, who held that rank before launching the Jingnan Campaign which established him as the Ming dynasty's Yongle Emperor in the 15th century. ==Zhou dynasty== * King Xiao of Yan () * King Xi of Yan, ruled 255 BC – 222 BC, last king of the Yan state. 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「Prince of Yan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
