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 (Chinese: 妣隹), a granddaughter of the Shang dynasty king Pangeng. He had a younger brother named Yuanzhong (Chinese: 遠仲).[1] [2]
According to the Tsinghua Bamboo Slips, Yingbo was succeeded by Xuexiong (better known as Yuxiong).[1] [2] However, Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian recorded the name of Jilian's son as Fuju (Chinese: 附沮), and Xuexiong as Fuju's son.[3] The exact relationship between Yingbo, Fuju, and Xuexiong/Yuxiong is unclear.[1] [2]
