Du'ao (Chinese: 堵敖 or 杜敖), also known as Zhuang'ao (Chinese: 莊敖), personal name Xiong Jian, was a king of the Chu state, reigning from 676 BC to 672 BC.[1]
Du'ao succeeded his father, King Wen, to the Chu throne. In 672 BC, he attempted to kill his younger brother, Xiong Yun (King Cheng), who escaped to the Sui state. Xiong Yun attacked and killed Du'ao with the help of Sui, and ascended the throne of Chu thereafter.[1]
