Shi Jinqing

Shi Jinqing (Chinese: 施進卿; Xiao'erjing: شِ دٍ شٍ‎) was a late 14th century chieftain in Palembang. He was a Muslim whose ancestors were Hui people from Hangzhou. The Ming imperial administration appointed him as chieftain xuanweishi (Chinese: 宣慰使) of the Palembang district for his contribution in helping Ming admiral Zheng He defeat the pirate leader Chen Zuyi. Shi Jinqing had already been appointed an official civil servant of the Majapahit kingdom of Java, sent to Palembang to serve as a minister after the Majapahit defeated Srivijaya in the year 1377.

This is a Chinese name; the family name is Shi.

Children

Shi Jinqing had a son Shi Jisun (Chinese: 施济孙) and a daughter Shi Daniang. The daughter was also known as Nyai Gede Pinatih or the Great Lady of Gresik. Both competed for power after their father died in 1421. Zheng He made Shi Jisun the new chieftain or xuanweishi, and the daughter went to Gresik in East Java to preach Islam.
