An Ruzi (Chinese: 安孺子; pinyin: Ān Rúzǐ; died 489 BC), also called Yan Ruzi (Chinese: 晏孺子; pinyin: Yàn Rúzǐ), was for a few months in 489 BC ruler of the State of Qi, a major power during the Spring and Autumn period of ancient China. His personal name was Lü Tu (呂荼), ancestral name Jiang (姜), and An Ruzi was his posthumous title, ruzi meaning "little boy". Due to his short reign and young age he was not given the normal ducal title. He was known as Prince Tu before ascending the throne.[1][2]
