Fu Jing was a Shang dynasty queen of Wu Ding and recipient of the Houmuwu sacrificial vessel. [1]
Although Wu Ding reportedly had over 60 wives, he had only three queens: Fu Jing, Fu Hao, and Fu Shi (婦嬕). [1] [2] Like Wu Ding's other wives, Fu Jing participated in military expeditions, [3] reflected in inscriptions discussing whether to call her for an invasion against the Longfang:
貞勿呼婦妌伐龍方 [4]
Charge: Should we not call Fu Jing to invade the Longfang?
Fu Jing would also perform divination for the state. [3]

On the dingwei day, plastromancy was performed. [Charge]: Should Fu Jing perform a you-sacrifice [a] [for?] Bin [unknown]?
Some of the divinations Fu Jing conducted focused on procuring millet, so Zheng Zhenxiang has suggested that she was responsible for agricultural management. [1]

Several divinations were made by Nan and Zheng towards whether or not a pregnancy would go well, similar to Fu Zi.
