>There are two accounts of Xiang Yu's family background. The first claimed that Xiang Yu was from the House of Mi (羋), the royal family of the Chu state. His ancestors were granted Xiang County (項縣; around present-day Shenqiu County, Henan) as their fief by the king of Chu and had since adopted Xiang as their family name. The other account claimed that Xiang Yu was a descendant of a noble clan from the Lu state and his family had served in the Chu army for generations. Xiang Yu's grandfather, Xiang Yan [zh], was a general who was killed in action while leading Chu forces to resist an invasion by the Qin state in 223 BC.

Henan and the Lu state are both in northern China
