Duke Jing of Jin (Chinese: 晉敬公; pinyin: Jìn Jìng Gōng), personal name Ji Jiao, was from 451 BC to 434 BC the duke of the Jin state.[3]
The Bamboo Annals records his posthumous name as Duke Jing,[1] while accounts by the Han dynasty historian Sima Qian in the Records of the Grand Historian are self-contradictory, referring to him as Duke Ai of Jin (晉哀公) in one chapter and Duke Yi of Jin (晉懿公) in another. Modern historians such as Yang Kuan, Ch'ien Mu, and Han Zhaoqi generally consider the Bamboo Annals more reliable, as it was unearthed from the tomb of King Xiang of Wei, one of the three successor states of Jin that emerged after the Partition of Jin.[3]
