Person
Duke Hu of Chen
Duke Hu of Chen, Gui Man, was the founder of the State of Chen. King Wu of Zhou enfeoffed him at Wanqiu, modern Huaiyang in Henan, as a descendant of the legendary Emperor Shun, so that sacrifices to Shun could continue, and gave him his eldest daughter in marriage. His line ruled Chen until Chu destroyed it in 479 BCE.
