Yue (state)

Yue (Chinese: 越國; pinyin: Yuè Guó) was a state in China which existed during the Spring and Autumn Period (722–479 BCE) and the Warring States Period (475–221 BCE), in the modern province of Zhejiang. During the Spring and Autumn Period, its capital was in Kuaiji (会稽), near the modern city of Shaoxing. After the conquest of Wu, the kings of Yue moved their capital north, to Wu (modern Suzhou).

The annotation to the Guoyu mentions that the rulers' surname was Mi (芈).
