Bin (city)

Bin (traditional Chinese: 豳; simplified Chinese: 彬; pinyin: Bīn) was a Chinese settlement during the Xia and Shang dynasties. It was said to be located between the Rong and Di ethnic groups.^{[citation needed]} It was located at present day Xunyi County^[1] and is the modern namesake of Binzhou in Shaanxi.^{[citation needed]}

Bin was the ancestral home of the Ji clan after Buzhu moved them from Tai after resigning his post in the Xia.^[2] The clan maintained control over the settlement until Ancient Duke Danfu removed them again and led his people to Zhou along the Wei River.
