Sima Qian records that during the reign of his older brother, Duke Hu, the capital of Qi was relocated from Yingqiu (Linzi) to Bogu. The move was resented by the people of Yingqiu, who rebelled under the leadership of Duke Xian, who then took the throne. Duke Xian is said to have killed Duke Hu during the attack.[1][2][3] During his reign, Duke Xian expelled the sons of Duke Hu, and moved the capital back to Linzi. He reigned for 9 years and died in 851 BC. He was succeeded by his son, Duke Wu.[1][2] Archaeological evidence from the Gaoqing Chenzhuang (高青陈庄遗址) site appears to support the claim.[4]
