Yong Ji (Zi Dian/Zhou) 雍己 (子佃/伷)

Yong Ji (Chinese: 雍己, born Zi Dian (Chinese: 子佃) or Zi Zhou (Chinese: 子伷), was a Shang Dynasty King of China.

In the Records of the Grand Historian he was listed by Sima Qian as the eighth Shang king, succeeding his brother Xiao Jia (Chinese: 太庚). He was enthroned in the year of Jiaxu (Chinese: 甲戌) with Bo (Chinese: ) as his capital. He ruled for 12 years, was given the posthumous name Yong Ji and was succeeded by brother Tai Wu (Chinese: 太戊).[1][2][3]

Oracle script inscriptions on bones unearthed at Yinxu alternatively record that he was the eighth Shang king succeeding his brother Da Wu (Chinese: 大戊), given the posthumous name Lü Ji (Chinese: 呂己) and succeeded by his nephew Zhong Ding (Chinese: 中丁).[2][3]
