King Jing of Zhou (Gui)
King Jĭng of Zhou, (Chinese: 周景王; pinyin: Zhōu Jĭng Wáng), personal name Ji Gui, was the twenty-fourth king of the Chinese Zhou Dynasty and the twelfth of Eastern Zhou. He succeeded to the throne after the death of King Ling of Zhou. King Jĭng reigned from 544 BC to 520 BC. The country was in financial ruin during King Jĭng's reign and supplies had to be bought from neighbouring states. He died in 520 BC of a disease and he was briefly succeeded by his son, King Dao of Zhou.
