Ziban (Chinese: 子般; pinyin: Zǐ Bān, lit. 'Son Ban'; died 6 October 662 BC) was the 17th ruler of the State of Lu during the Spring and Autumn period of ancient China. His ancestral name was Ji (姬), and given name Ban (般). He appears in history as Ziban due to his reign being less than a year long, as Ziban died in the same year as his father, Duke Zhuang of Lu.[1]
Ziban's mother was Meng Ren (孟任), a woman from the Dang (黨) family who Duke Zhuang saw from a tower he built, which overlooked the Dang residence. Duke Zhuang followed her and promised to make her his concubine. Meng Ren agreed and made a covenant with him by cutting her arm. Later, Ziban was born.
After the death of Duke Zhuang in 662 BC, Prince You (友), Duke Zhuang's brother, installed Ziban to the Lu throne.
Two months into his reign, Ziban was murdered by Qingfu (慶父), another one of Duke Zhuang's brothers, who installed Qi (啟), his brother, to the Lu throne. Prince You fled to the State of Chen.
