Ying (state)

Ying (traditional Chinese: ; simplified Chinese: ; pinyin: Yīng) was a vassal state in eastern China that existed from c. 1030 to 646 BCE. After the fall of the Western Zhou, it continued into the Spring and Autumn period, briefly becoming a vassal state of Chu in the 650s BCE, but was ultimately annexed by the Chu in 646 BCE. Ying was in modern-day Pingdingshan, Henan province, where many artifacts such as bronze vessels from the state have been unearthed.

The state of Ying was founded around 1030 BCE by Ying Hou, a younger brother of King Cheng of Zhou.
