Was he 陽生君 or 陽生王? Unless it is the second one, he can't be called Prince Yangsheng in English; it would be more properly Lord Yangsheng. A Zhou Dynasty Prince/King (王) doesn't become a Duke (公) unless he is demoted. I don't find reference to 陽生君 or 陽生王 on the Chinese wiki either.--

Are translating 公子 as Prince? I don't think this is the correct way to translate the title of the son of a Duke. Why don't we just use Gongzi or just Lord instead or no title at all since using Prince as a title is historically inaccurate.--

European dukes and Chinese dukes are a whole world apart. You can't westernized everything for the sake of people understanding it. But if sources use it, then I guess it is usable. Though in my opinion, I am really uncomfortable with the translation as I think most people are. --
