Duke Wen of Eastern Zhou (Chinese: 東周文公; pinyin: Dōng Zhōu Wén Gōng) (?–249 BC), personal name Jī Jié, reigned as King Hui of Zhou[1] over the remaining rump state of the Zhou dynasty from 255 BC to 249 BC, when he was captured and executed by the army of Qin.[3] Wen was the last member of the Zhou dynasty who claimed the throne of China, though he was never recognized as king outside his own small domain at Chengzhou.[4] Forced to spend his entire reign fighting against the state of Qin, Wen's death meant the final end of the Zhou dynasty.[5]
