Duke Zhao of Jin (Chinese: 晉昭公; pinyin: Jìn Zhāo Gōng), personal name Ji Yi, was a duke of the Jin state, reigning from 531 BC to 526 BC. He succeeded his father, Duke Ping of Jin, who died in 532 BC.[1]
Duke Zhao reigned for six years and died in 526 BC. During his reign, the state's political and military affairs were increasingly dominated by six powerful clans: Han (韓), Zhao (趙), Wei (魏), Fan (范), Zhonghang (中行), and Zhi (智). He was succeeded by his son, Duke Qing.[1]
