King Ping of Chu
King Píng of Chu. During the Spring and Autumn period of ancient China, he was king of the State of Chu from 528 BC to 516 BC. He was a son of King Gong of Chu and his consort.
Born Xiong Qiji, Píng changed his name to Xiong Ju after ascending the throne, and King Píng was his posthumous title. The likely reason for his name change was his response to a naming taboo.
He married Bo Ying and was succeeded by their son, King Zhao of Chu.
