Nan Geng (Template:Zh), personal name Zi Geng, was a king of the Shang dynasty of ancient China.

Records

In the Records of the Grand Historian he was listed by Sima Qian as the seventeenth Shang king, succeeding his cousin Zu Ding. He was enthroned in the year of Bingchen (Script error: No such module "Lang".) with Bi (Script error: No such module "Lang".) as his capital. In the third year of his reign he moved his capital to Yan (Script error: No such module "Lang".). He ruled for about 29 years before his death. He was given the posthumous name Nan Geng and was succeeded by his cousin's son Yang Jia.[1][2][3]

Oracle script inscriptions on bones unearthed at Yinxu alternatively record that he was the sixteenth Shang king.[2][3]
