What was the name of the monarch when Qu Yuan, the doctor of Chu, was alive?
When Qu Yuan, a doctor of Chu State, was alive, the monarch was called Chu Huaiwang.

Xiong Huai (about 354 years ago-296 years ago), surnamed Zhou, Xiong, the son of the father of King Xiang of Chu, was the King of Chu during the Warring States Period, and reigned from 328 to 299.

In the Warring States Period, when rites and music collapsed, Chu Huaiwang was the last monarch cultivated by rites and music civilization. At the beginning of the succession, Qu Yuan and others were ordered to reform and defeated Wei, and Chu became the largest country in the world at that time. In the middle of his reign, he mistakenly believed in Zhang Yi, the prime minister of Qin State, which destroyed the Qi-Chu alliance, the land fell, and the Chu State turned from prosperity to decline.
