Fan Ji (died in the 7th century BC), was the Queen consort of King Zhuang of Chu. [1] [2]

She acted as the political adviser of her spouse, and has been portrayed as a positive role model for women in Chinese history. She was noted for her clever methods of demonstrating her opinions and convincing people to change. [3] [4] In one famous story, she felt her husband was hunting too much, so she stopped eating meat, as a subtle reproach to him. He noted her actions, and ceased his inappropriate hunting. [5] [6]
