King Shenjing of Zhou (Chinese: 周慎靚王; pinyin: Zhōu Shènjìng Wáng), personal name Ji Ding, was the penultimate king of China's Zhou dynasty.[1]
He was a son of his predecessor, King Xian,[2] and thus nephew of King Lie;[3] his paternal grandfather was King An.[4] He reigned from 320 BC until his death in 315 BC.
King Shenjing was succeeded by his son, King Nan, who went on to have a very long reign.[5]
