The Marquis of Qin (
), but his given name is not known.Although Qin would eventually develop into a major power that would conquer all other Chinese states and unite China in 221 BC to start the
Western Zhou Dynasty classified as an "attached state" (附庸, fuyong). Qin rulers did not receive any nobility rank until four generations later during the reign of Duke Xiang of Qin, so "the Marquis of Qin" was presumably an honorific posthumous title that his descendants used to refer to him.[2]
