About Margravial Uncle Huan of Quwo
Lived 802 BC – 731 BC (aged 70–71).
Huan Shu of Quwo (; 802–731 BC), personal name Ji Chengshi, was the first ruler of the Quwo (曲沃) state, a fief of the Jin state. He was a son of Marquis Mu of Jin and the younger brother of Marquis Wen of Jin. He was also uncle of Marquis Zhao of Jin, who granted him the land of Quwo.
In 745 BC, Marquis Zhao of Jin enfeoffed Huan Shu at Quwo (around modern-day Quwo County, Shanxi). He was said to be a benevolent ruler beloved by the people of Quwo.
In 739 BC, Jin official Panfu (潘父) murdered Marquis Zhao of Jin and invited Huan Shu to ascend the throne of Jin. However, Huan Shu was defeated by Jin troops and retreated to Quwo.
In 731 BC, Huan Shu died and was succeeded by his son and heir, Count Zhuang of Quwo, to the Quwo throne. Another son of Huan Shu, Viscount Wu of Han, became the progenitor of the ruling house of the Han state.
