Historical figures mentioned in my article 25

​Wei Ju魏驹​​, historically known as ​Viscount Huan of Wei (魏桓子)​​ or ​Viscount Xuan of Wei (魏宣子)​​, was the leader of the ​​Wei clan​​ in the State of ​​Jin​​ during the ​​Spring and Autumn Period​​.

Alongside ​​Zhao Wuxu赵无恤 (Viscount Xiang of Zhao赵襄子)​​ and ​​Han Hu韩虎 (Viscount Kang of Han韩康子)​​, ​​Wei Ju​​ defeated ​​Zhi Yao智瑶 (Viscount Xiang of Zhi智襄子)​​ and ​​partitioned his territories​​. This victory marked a turning point, as the ​​Wei, Zhao, and Han clans​​ grew increasingly powerful, eventually establishing their own states and becoming three of the ​​Seven Warring States​​.

After ​​Wei Ju's death​​, his grandson ​​Marquis Wen of Wei (魏文侯)​​ succeeded him, laying the foundation for ​​Wei's rise​​ as a major power during the ​​Warring States Period​​.
