Youli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Youli (Chinese: 羑里; pinyin: Yóulǐ) was a settlement in ancient China. It was the location of King Zhou of Shang's imprisonment of Ji Chang (posthumously King Wen of Zhou).[1] It was during this captivity that he was said to have constructed the 64 hexagrams of the Classic of Changes.

It is thought to have been located at the site of present-day Tangyin County, Henan Province.
