King Qingxiang of Chu (Chinese: 楚頃襄王; pinyin: Chǔ Qǐngxiāng Wáng), personal name Xiong Heng, was from 298 BC to 263 BC the king of the Chu state.[1]
King Qingxiang's father, King Huai, was held hostage in 299 BC by King Zhao of Qin when he went to the Qin state for negotiation. King Qingxiang then ascended the Chu throne. King Huai managed to escape but was recaptured by Qin. Three years later he died in captivity.[1]
King Qingxiang died in 263 BC and was succeeded by his son, King Kaolie.[1]
