Chai Rong, Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty (October 27, 921-July 27, 959), was the emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and reigned for six years. A native of Chaijiazhuang, Yaoshan, Xingzhou (now Longyao County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province), his grandfather Chai Weng and his father Chai Shouli are local famous families. Chai Rong grew up in his uncle Guo Wei's house, and was accepted as an adopted son by Guo Wei because of his caution and honesty. When he was young, he sold tea in Jiangling with the businessman Jie Duo, and experienced social disadvantages. It is recorded in the history that his appearance is strange, he is good at riding and shooting, he is a little knowledgeable about the history of Huang Lao, and his nature is heavy and taciturn. In 951, when Guo Wei established the Later Zhou Dynasty, he appointed Chai Rong to govern Chanzhou, and its territory was "clean and clean, and thieves did not violate the territory". In 954, Guo Wei died and Chai Rong succeeded him as emperor.
