Yingbo


Yingbo was an early ruler of the ancient Chinese state that would later be known as Chu. His father was Jilian and his mother was Bi Zhui, a granddaughter of the Shang dynasty king Pangeng. He had a younger brother named Yuanzhong.
According to the Tsinghua [Bamboo Slips], Yingbo was succeeded by Xuexiong. However, Sima Qian's Records of the [Grand Historian] recorded the name of Jilian's son as Fuju, and Xuexiong as Fuju's son. The exact relationship between Yingbo, Fuju, and Xuexiong/Yuxiong is unclear.
