Chengjiao, titled Lord of Chang'an (長安君 Chǎng'ān Jūn), was Qin Shi Huang's paternal half brother. After Zhao Zheng inherited the title of King of Qin from his father King Zhuangxiang, he rebelled at Tunliu and surrendered to the State of Zhao. King Daoxiang of Zhao granted him the territory of Rao (饒; modern Raoyang County, Hebei).
