Chinese History - Zhou Dynasty 周 (11th. cent.-221 BC)
feudal lords: Song 宋

See other feudal lords of the Zhou period.

King Zhou Wuwang 周武王 had a relative named Wu Geng 武庚 enfeoffed with the dukedom of Song. After Wu Geng's rebellion he enfeoffed Weizi Qi 微子啟, a prince of Shang 商, with Song. In this dukedom, the culture of Shang was preserved for a long time, as can be seen in the collection of Shang hymns in the Book of Songs (Shijing 詩經). During the Spring and Autumn (Chunqiu) 春秋 period Duke Xiang 宋襄公 acted as hegemon (ba 霸) and coordinated the politics of the feudal states. Song was located between the mighty states of Jin 晉 and Chu 楚 and suffered under the military campaigns of these two neighbors. The rulers of Song often acted as advocates of the minor fiefdoms of the Yellow River plain. Zi Ticheng 子剔成 was the last ruler to lead Song to military achievements before it was destroyed by Qi 齊 in 286.
The name of Song was used for many imperial princedoms, for one of the Southern Dynasties (Nanchao 南朝: Liu-Song 劉宋), and for the great Song Dynasty.
