Ying (traditional Chinese: ; simplified Chinese: ; pinyin: Yīng) was a minor kingdom in eastern China that existed from c. 1030 to 646 BCE. Sometime after its establishment it became a vassal state of the Western Zhou, which extended into the Spring and Autumn period. Ying briefly became a vassal state of Chu in the early-600s BCE, but was annexed by the Chu in 646 BCE. Ying was in modern-day Pingdingshan, Henan province, where many artifacts from the state have been unearthed.[1]
