右尹黑 / Youyin Hei

右尹黑 / Youyin Hei appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》14丨齐威王 不鸣则已一鸣惊人 as the 楚国 high official sent to 秦国 to receive a bride. The episode explains 右尹 as a senior Chu office and argues that the unnamed Qin woman was probably intended for 楚宣王, not for Youyin Hei himself.

The page is source-scoped. Youyin Hei matters because he makes 战国联姻外交 visible as a state-level act: a minister performs the marriage protocol, but the political relationship belongs to the ruling house and interstate strategy.
