Jin Kingdom

Shi Hui (士会), great grandson of Du Bo, was an army general, and became the Commander in Chief of the Jin kingdom (632 - 403 BCE). He was rewarded for defeating the neighboring tribes, and given the title the Duke of Sui (Jiaxiu in Shanxi) and the Duke of Fan (south east of Fan in Henan). In reference to his title as Duke he is also known as Sui Hui (随会), or Fan Hui (范会), and his descendents assumed one of the following last names, Fan (范), Sui (随), or Shi (士). Fan is the biggest clan.
