For several rules Tsin had been maintaining a failing struggle against that branch of the ruling House which had been established with the title of earl in K‘euh-yuh (曲沃); and Hwan Shuh (桓叔) and Chwang (莊伯), chiefs of K‘euh-yuh, enter in some lists into the line of the princes of Tsin. At last Ch‘ing, the successor of Chwang Pih, put Min to death, in 678, and was acknowledged by the king as ruler of Tsin. He is:—
| 18. | Woo | (武), | B.C. | 677. | 30. | Taou | (悼), | B.C. | 571. |
| 19. | Hëen | (獻), | ,, | 675. | 31. | P‘ing | (平), | ,, | 556. |

In his second year Tsing was deprived of his State and title. It had, indeed, been only a nominal position which the representatives of T‘ang Shuh-yu had for some time enjoyed, for they were merely puppets in the hands of the marquis of Wei (魏). The great State of Tsin was broken up into three great marquisates, which subsequently claimed to be kingdoms;—those of Wei (魏), Chaou (趙), and Han (韓), the independent existence of which dates from 402, and which continued till they were absorbed by Ts‘in.
