Battle of Bi
597 BCE battle between the Chinese states of Chu and Jin
The Battle of Bi was fought during the Spring and Autumn period of Ancient China in 597 BC, between the major states of Chu and Jin. Occurring three and a half decades after the Battle of Chengpu, where Jin decisively defeated Chu, the battle was a major victory for Chu, cementing the position of its ruler King Zhuang as a hegemon among the vassal states of the Zhou dynasty.
