Duke Gong of Cao

Duke Gong of Cao (? – 618 BCE) (Chinese: 曹共公; pinyin: Cáo Gòng Gōng) was the seventeenth ruler of the vassal State of Cao during the Chinese Spring and Autumn Period (770 – 475 BCE). Born Jī Xiāng (姬襄) he was the son of Duke Zhao of Cao.

In 637 BCE, during the exile of Chóng’ěr, son of Duke Xian of Jin, Duke Gòng heard that Chóng’ěr suffered from fused ribs and wanted to see for himself. Chóng’ěr caught Duke Gòng spying on him whilst he bathed and described the Duke as a man of “unbelievable rudeness”^[1].

After Chóng’ěr became Duke Wen of Jin and one of the Five Hegemons, in 632 he used Duke Gòng’s previous rudeness as an excuse to overthrow the State of Cao. Duke Gòng was captured by the State of Jin but later released.

After Duke Gòng of Cáo died in 618 BCE, his son Duke Wén of Cáo became ruler.
