Duke Tai of Tian Qi

Duke Tai of Tian Qi , personal name Tian He, was from 386 BC to 384 BC the duke of the Qi state. He was the first Qi ruler from the Tian clan, which replaced the Jiang clan that had ruled the state for over six centuries.

Reign Since Tian He's great-grandfather Tian Heng killed Duke Jian of Qi in 481 BC, the leaders of the Tian clan had been the de facto rulers of Qi. In 404 BC Tian He succeeded his older brother Tian Daozi as head of the Tian clan. He nominally served under Duke Kang of Qi, the last ruler from the House of Jiang, but effectively ruled the state himself. Since 2008 they have been included in the tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites as part of the ancient Qi capital and mausoleum complex.
