The State of Cen (also named the State of Chen in mandarin variants) was a state in Eastern Asia which has existed during the Warring States period. At its foundation, it was the territory conferred by King Wu of Zhou since Cen Zi was the nephew of his father and helped overthrowing the Shang dynasty. Cen Zi was conferred title of Viscount of Cen. However, in around 480 BC, Cen Zi created the State of Cen due to the central power unstability.
