Jiǎng (Chinese state)

Jiang (/Pinyin: Jiǎng) was a vassal state that existed during the Zhou dynasty until the middle Spring and Autumn period. In 617 BC it was annexed by the state of Chu.

The state was established right after Duke of Zhou allocated his fourth son Bo Ling to a piece of land in Gushi County, Henan. Bo Ling later used the state name as his own surname.
