宋剔成 / Song Ticheng
宋剔成 / Song Ticheng appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》10丨 以家族单位 有蚂蚁吃大象的精神（2） as the son and successor of 宋辟公 after Song Pi Gong dies. The episode gives this as the final succession notice in its Zhou Lie Wang sixth-year sequence.
His source role is chronological. He extends the 宋国 ruler branch already tied to Shang-remnant legitimacy, but the source does not develop a separate political narrative for his reign.
《资治通鉴·周纪》34丨秦国总理如何玩转六国 gives his reign an endpoint in the 329 BCE coup notice. His younger brother 宋君偃 overthrows him, and Song Ticheng flees to 齐国. The source turns him from a compact succession name into a displaced ruler in Song’s Warring States instability branch.
《资治通鉴·周纪》68丨惊叹宋康王荒淫无度的狗血历史（2） adds a policy contrast. Song Ticheng is described as also having come to power through rebellion, but preferring survival through deference to stronger states, including expensive annual offerings to 齐国. The episode uses him as the foil for 宋康王 / 宋君偃: one brother tries dependence and diplomacy, while the other chooses forceful self-strengthening and expansion.
