Gumie () was a small state during the Zhou dynasty and Spring and Autumn period (722–479 BCE) running from southwest of Yue, in China's modern day southwestern Zhejiang province, around the cities of Jinhua and Quzhou, to Yushan in northern Jiangxi Province. It was conquered by King Goujian of Yue during the height of Yue expansionism, after which the area fell under Chu control after the fall of Yue to Chu. Eventually, the area was conquered by Qin after the conquest of Chu by Qin. Its ruling clan is believed to have been the same as that of Xu, that of Ying ().钱宗范. 试论姑蔑文化与楚、吴、越文化的关系. 广西师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版), 2005, no. 3.钱宗范. "关于姑蔑文化几个问题的探讨." 姑蔑历史文化论文集 (2002).
