齐王建 / 田建 / King Jian of Qi
齐王建 / 田建 / King Jian of Qi enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·周纪》91丨触龙如何敲开守寡赵太后的门（2） as the son of 齐襄王 and 君王后. The source identifies him as the crown prince who succeeds after Qi Xiang Wang dies in the same 265 BCE frame that resolves the Zhao hostage crisis.
The episode presents his accession as a Qi-side parallel to 赵丹 / 赵孝成王 in 赵国: both are young rulers whose mothers become the practical governing authorities. In Qi, Jun Wang Hou’s regency is described as cautious and peace-oriented, creating a court style in which a forceful figure such as 田单 may not fit easily.
《资治通鉴·周纪》92丨历史上第一位著名舔狗是谁？（1） adds a naming note. The episode says the narration uses Qi Wang Jian’s personal name because his later status as conquered final ruler means 秦国’s unification leaves no normal posthumous-title path for him. The point turns his accession into a countdown marker for the final decades of the 战国时期.
《资治通鉴·周纪》94丨杀神白起，长平之战中的“草包”名将？（2） gives Qi Wang Jian a first major non-intervention case. Zhao asks Qi for grain during the Changping encirclement, but the court refuses; the episode says the practical decision lies with Jun Wang Hou. The source reads the refusal as short-term avoidance of helping an old rival, but one that weakens the larger anti-Qin shield around Qi.
《资治通鉴·周纪》95丨长平之战后秦国为什么没有灭了赵国（2） makes Qi Wang Jian’s weakened-state context matter to 虞卿’s post-Changping proposal. Yu Qing says 赵国 should give six cities to 齐国 rather than 秦国 to create anti-Qin pressure, but the host doubts that Qi under Qi Wang Jian has enough strength or ambition to make that plan reliable.
The page is source-scoped. Later sources may need to revise the balance between this initial cautious-regency frame and Qi Wang Jian’s longer reign.
