Who is Zu Ji?

Zu Ji was the eldest son of King Wu Ding but despite his kingly title he never succeeded his father as a Shang Dynasty King of China.

In the Records of the Grand Historian he was said by Sima Qian to have died in distant exile during the twenty-fifth year of his father's reign.

Oracle script inscriptions on bones unearthed at Yinxu confirm his lineage and his failure to succeed to the throne.
