Yu Xiong is not really mentioned in the Tsinghua bamboo slips

Tsinghua bamboo slips mention 穴酓. Some editor comment cited on the mentioned source links the name 穴酓 to 穴熊 and from there to 鬻熊. But the page actually gives no source this linking relies on. There is actually no evidence there that Yu Xiong was a king, that Yu xiong and Xue Xiong (穴熊) are the same person, or that Xue Xiong has anything to do with Xue Yan (穴酓). Actually there is only the grand historian who on chapter 楚世家 treats Yu xiong and Xue xiong as two characters with no evident similarity between them, and no reason to claim that this is mistaken in any way.
With no evidence, Yu Xiong is still the forefather of Chu nobelty and Kui kings, but by himself merely an advisor to king Wen and an offspring of kings. The duke (talk) 13:20, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
