Biography

Although Wu Ding reportedly had over 60 wives, he had only three queens: Fu Jing, Fu Hao, and Fu Gui (婦癸). [1] Like Wu Ding's other wives, Fu Jing participated in military expeditions and divined for the state. [2] Some of the divinations Fu Jing conducted focused on procuring millet, so Zheng Zhenxiang has suggested that she was responsible for agricultural management. [1] Fu Jing is often referred to in the oracle bones as Biwu (Chinese :妣戊). [1]
