Zhong Ren (personal name Zǐ Yōng, Chinese: 子庸) is traditionally held to be a Shang dynasty King of China.
In the Records of the Grand Historian he was listed by Sima Qian as the third Shang king, succeeding his father Tang (Chinese: 唐) and elder brother Wai Bing.
He was enthroned in the year of Dingchou (Chinese: 丁丑) with Yi Yin (Chinese: 伊尹) as his prime minister and Bo (Chinese: 亳) as his capital. He ruled for 4 years before his death.
He was given the posthumous name Zhong Ren (Chinese: 仲壬) and was succeeded by his nephew Tai Jia (Chinese: 太甲).[1] [2] [3]
Oracle script inscriptions on bones unearthed at Yinxu do not list him as one of the Shang kings.
