When the Chou dynasty moved its capital east into Ho Nan, Ts‘in took possession of the old Chou principality.\nTSIN : principality (same family as Chou) in South Shan Si (and in part of Shen Si at times).\nTS‘I: principality, separated by the Yellow River from Tsin and Yen; it lay in North Shan Tung, and in the coast part of Chih Li.\nTS‘U : semi-barbarous principality alone preponderant on the Yang-tsz River.]",
