Xiong Yi (Chinese: 熊繹; pinyin: Xióng Yì, reigned 11th century BC) was an early ruler and first vassal lord of the State of Chu during early Zhou dynasty of ancient China. Son of Xiong Kuang , he was traditionally ascribed descent from the Yellow Emperor and Zhuanxu through his great-grandfather Yuxiong .
Xiong's literal meaning is "bear".In ancient China, it was used as a clan name by a branch of the Mi (), the royal family of the state of Chu.As recorded by Sima Qian, they claimed descent from Zhuanxu, a son of the Yellow Emperor in Chinese mythology, and Yuxiong (鬻熊), a tutor of the King Wen of Zhou in the 11th century BC.
In Zhou dynasty China, noble families usually had two surnames: clan name (氏) and lineage name (姓). Shen Zhuliang, from a cadet branch of the ruling house of Chu, shared the lineage name of Mi (芈) of the Chu kings. He also inherited the clan name of Shen from his father, but his fame led some of his descendants to adopt Ye as their clan name.
