He was also the first ruler among Zhou's vassal states to style himself "king"; Chu was one of a few states where local rulers declared themselves kings during the Spring and Autumn period. Other states include Wu and Yue. Life King Wu married a daughter of the ruler of Deng called Deng Man () and installed Dou Bobi (), son of Ruo'ao as Prime Minister and his son Qu Xia () as Mo'ao.
