Since 453 BC, Jin had already been partitioned into three de facto states: Han, Zhao, and Wei. The only territories under Jin's control were the capitals, Jiang and Quwo. In 403 BC, during Duke Lie's reign, King Weilie of Zhou officially proclaimed the rulers of Han, Zhao, and Wei zhuhou.[1][2]
Duke Lie reigned for 27 years. He died in 389 BC and was succeeded by his son, Duke Huan.[1]
