King Xian of Zhou (Chinese: 周顯王; pinyin: Zhōu Xiǎn Wáng), personal name Ji Bian, was the thirty-fifth king of the Chinese Zhou dynasty and the twenty-third of the Eastern Zhou.[1]
Very little is known about him. He succeeded his brother King Lie of Zhou in 368 BC and ruled until his death in 321 BC.[2]
He sent gifts to many of the feudal states, supposedly his vassals, particularly Qin and Chu. Late in his reign, the leaders of the states declared themselves kings, and ceased to recognise the king of Zhou as even nominally their overlord.[3]
