Boyi (, ) and Shuqi (, ) were two Dongyi brothers from Guzhu, a Dongyi state (諸侯國) under Shang Dynasty. According to tradition, they lived at the time of the transition between the Shang dynasty and the Zhou dynasty (approximately 1046 BCE). They are remembered in literary culture for their personal and moral virtue, loyalty, and pacifist idealism. Sometimes they are referred to together just as "Boyi", after the elder brother. They were natives of the state of Guzhu (in modern Hebei province, around the area of Tangshan), a vassal state of the Shang dynasty.
