Fan Ji (died in the 7th century BC), was the Queen consort of King Zhuang of Chu.^[1][2]

She acted as the political adviser of her spouse, and has been portrayed as a positive role model for women in Chinese history. She was noted for her clever methods of demonstrating her opinions and convincing people to change.^[3][4] In one famous story, she felt her husband was hunting too much, so she stopped eating meat, as a subtle reproach to him. He noted her actions, and ceased his inappropriate hunting.^[5][6]
