Fu Jing was a Shang dynasty queen of Wu Ding and recipient of the Houmuwu sacrificial vessel.[1]
Biography
[edit]Although Wu Ding reportedly had over 60 wives, he had only three queens: Fu Jing, Fu Hao, and Fu Gui (婦癸).[1] Like Wu Ding's other wives, Fu Jing participated in military expeditions and divined for the state.[2] Some of the divinations Fu Jing conducted focused on procuring millet, so Zheng Zhenxiang has suggested that she was responsible for agricultural management.[1] Fu Jing is often referred to in the oracle bones as Biwu (Chinese: 妣戊).[1]
