Youli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Youli (Chinese: įž‘里) was a former settlement in ancient China. It was the location of King Zhou's imprisonment of the Zhou king Wen.[1] It was during this captivity that he was said to have constructed the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching.

It is thought to have been located at the site of present-day Tangyin in Henan.
