During the Spring and Autumn Period, why was the Jin State able to suppress the Qin State for 200 ye

The territory of the Jin Kingdom was all rich land, occupying favorable terrain and developing relatively well economically.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, it must have been the Jin State that was stronger than the Qin State, and there was also the Qin State itself.

The Jin State had a good terrain and was relatively wealthy, while the Qin State was a remote area with difficult conditions.

Because the economic strength and military and political level of the Jin State are relatively powerful.

In ancient times, it was necessary to look at the geographical location of the country, which was crucial for warfare and the economy.

The first is that the Jin state itself is strong enough and occupies a superior geographical location, and the second is that the Qin state was too backward at that time and was located in the poorest west.

Because the Jin State is stronger than the Qin State, and its economic and military strength is very powerful.

The Jin State was a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty, and its founding king was Tang Shuyu. Tang Shuyu is the son of King Ji Fa of Zhou Wu and the younger brother of King Ji Yu of Zhou Cheng. The original name of the Jin Kingdom was Tang, and it was changed to Jin after Tang Shuyu's son Xie ascended the throne.

The rise of the Jin Kingdom was during the period of Jin Xiangong, and the seventeenth country was annexed, and the thirty-eighth country was served. After succeeding to the throne, Duke Wen of Jin defeated the state of Chu in the Battle of Chengpu and dominated the battle.

Since then, the Jin State has almost always been the most powerful existence in the Spring and Autumn Period, and even the scholar Quan Zuwang commented on the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons that "Qi is one and Jin is four", and the Jin State occupies four seats, namely Jin Wen Gong, Jin Xiang Gong, Jin Jing Gong, and Jin Mourning Gong.

However, this powerful country did not enter the Warring States period, and completely withdrew from the stage of history in the late Spring and Autumn Period.

We all know that the Zhou Dynasty adopted a feudal system, in which the Son of Heaven divided the princes, the princes divided the doctors, and so on. In the process of the Jin State's domination of the Central Plains, the overall strength of the Jin State gradually strengthened, but the power of the Qing clan within the Jin State was also strengthened, and even threatened the rule of the monarch.

First, Zhao Dun killed Jin Linggong, and then there was the difficulty of destroying the Zhao family in the lower palace, Jin Li Gong killed Sanhe, Luan Shu and Zhongxing Yan killed Jin Li Gong, and destroyed the Luan family.

In the period of the Duke of Jin, the strength of the six secretaries of the Jin state was even stronger and abnormal, and even the civil strife of the Zhou royal family was quelled by the six secretaries of the Jin state.

Later, there was a contradiction within the Liuqing, and in the seventeenth year of the Jin Dynasty, Zhibo and Zhao Ying, Han Buxin, and Wei Hao jointly divided the territory of Fan Jishu and Zhongxingyin, and the Jin Dynasty was very angry, so he asked Qi and Lu to take the opportunity to crusade against the Siqing.

As a result, Siqing counterattacked, and Jin had to flee to Qi State, but died halfway through. Ji Jiao, the great-grandson of Zhibo Li Zhaogong, became the king of Jin, that is, the Duke of Jin Ai. Zhibo took the opportunity to occupy the territory of Fan Jichu and Zhongxingyin, and oversaw all the affairs of the Jin State.

In the fourth year of the Jin Dynasty, Zhao Xiangzi, Han Kangzi, and Wei Huanzi killed Zhibo and annexed all his land. In the first year of the Jin Dynasty, only Jiang and Quwo were left in the Jin Dynasty as a place of worship, and all the territories of the Jin Kingdom fell into the hands of Han, Zhao and Wei, and the Duke of Jin Yougong went to the court to see the Han, Zhao and Wei families.

In 403 BC, the Zhou royal family made Han, Zhao, and Wei princes, and since then the Jin kingdom has existed in name only.

Until 376 BC, Zhao, Han, and Wei divided the only remaining land of the office, deposed the Jin Jing Gong as a commoner, and the Jin State finally perished.

To say that the strength of the Jin State is also one of the few in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, even after being divided into three, it can become a powerful country in the Warring States Period, and it is divided into three seats of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. However, the disadvantages of the sub-feudal system were also vividly reflected in the Jin Kingdom, and the tail was too big to fall, which eventually led to the destruction of the country.

In 403 BC (the thirteenth year of the reign of Emperor Lie of Jin), King Weilie of Zhou gave the state of Zhao, Korea, and Wei, nominally recognizing the status of the princes of Zhao, Wei, and Han, and the Jin state existed in name only! In 389 B.C., (the twenty-seventh year of Liegong) Liegong died. Zixiao Gongqi succeeded to the throne.

In 369 B.C. (the twentieth year of filial piety), the Marquis of Zhao Cheng and the Marquis of Han Yi moved to Jin Jun to stay in Tunliu. In 359 BC (the thirtieth year of filial piety), the Marquis of Zhao Cheng and the Marquis of Han Zhao were divided into Jin, and the king of Jin was moved to Duanshi. In 351 BC (the thirtieth year of filial piety), Xiaogong died, and Zijing Gongjujiu succeeded to the throne.

In 349 BC (the second year of Jin Jinggong), Zhao seized the Duan clan of Jin and moved Jin Jun back to Tunliu. Soon, Han Ji killed Jin Jun, and the Jin Kingdom finally perished.

The Jin Kingdom was destroyed by the division of Han, Zhao and Wei. In the eighth year of Jin Jinggong (349 BC), Zhao captured the Duan clan of Jin and moved Jin Jun back to Tunliu. Soon, Han Xi killed Jin Jun, and the Jin Kingdom finally perished.

The power of several ministers is too strong and has different intentions, the centralization of the state is disintegrated, and it is only a matter of time before the forces of all parties get out of control and fall apart. It is in line with the natural law of "major events in the world, divided for a long time, and divided for a long time".

Because the goal of the Jin State was always the Chu State in the south, the Qin State was not in the eyes of the Jin State at all. A casual battle can make the Qin State honest for decades or hundreds of years, who will treat him as a fierce enemy? The so-called confrontation with the Jin State is just because the Qin State is located in the northwest, and it is poor and has no threat to the hegemony of the Jin State, and the Jin State is too lazy to fight him.

Three families were divided into Jin: In the late Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin State was under the exclusive power of the Jin State Han Clan, the Jin State Zhao Clan, the Jin State Wei Clan, the Jin State Zhi Clan, the Jin State Fan Clan, and the Bank of China Clan. In 490 BC, the Zhao clan defeated the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan.

In 458 B.C., the lands of the Fan and Zhongxing clans were divided among the Han, Zhao, Wei, and Zhi families.

In 457 BC, Han, Zhao, and Wei jointly defeated the Zhi clan and divided their territory equally, establishing the three regimes of Han, Zhao, and Wei respectively.

In 406 BC, King Weilie of Zhou made the three families princely states, officially recognizing their status as princes.

From Encyclopedia.

Han Zhao Wei's three families were divided into Jin, and the Jin Kingdom was divided by his own three scholars, Han Zhao Wei.

The three families were divided into Jin and became Zhao Weihan.

There are four reasons for the strength of the Qin State: 1. Political advantages. Because the Qin State was among the princes of the Beacon Fire Opera, he still sent troops to rescue the Zhou State, and won the trust of the Zhou Dynasty and was granted the right to crusade against Xirong.

And Qin Guo really took this unreliable thing seriously. After years of hard work, the Qin state finally defeated Xirong. These two events made the political image of the Qin State at that time very good.

Another key factor is that during the Spring and Autumn Period, the number of armies of the vassal states was limited, and there could only be three armies at most. Countries that can break through this limit are likely to become dominant. The four major powers of the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi, Chu, Qin, and Jin, were not restricted by the Zhou Dynasty and could be conscripted at will, making them the strongest.

Jiang Ziya, the ancestor of Qi, was once granted the right to crusade against the princes by King Wu of Zhou and Gongdan of Zhou, and Qi broke through the military restrictions. The Qin State took advantage of the crusade against Xirong and also broke through the military restrictions. The Jin State secretly changed the concept, and set up three armies below the three armies, and was the first country to break through the military restrictions.

If the military restrictions had not been broken through in the Spring and Autumn period, then the Qin State could not have been as powerful as it was later. 2. Geographical advantages. Qin is located in the west, after the pacification of Xirong, especially after the pacification of Bashu, Qin has no worries, and can rest assured to deal with the six countries, which undoubtedly makes Qin have more advantages.

3. Pay attention to talents. Because the Qin State was considered a barbarian country for a long time, it attached great importance to talents and was willing to use "foreign" talents. The first to reuse talents is Qin Mugong, the most famous is Wuyang Doctor Baili Xi and his good friend Uncle Jian.

Later, Shang Ying, as well as Fan Ju, Zhang Yi, Li Si and others, were all talents from the Six Kingdoms. Qin can be unified, basically relying on these few people. 4. The decline of great powers.

The Four Great Powers of the Spring and Autumn Period, and in the late Spring and Autumn Period, all three were hit. The three families are divided into Jin, the Tian family is in Qi, and there is the Wu Yuan Chu. If it weren't for the Qin State sending rescue troops and the Yue State causing trouble, the Wu State might have been able to destroy the Chu State.

However, the rise of Wu Yue greatly affected the strength of the Chu State, and in the early Warring States period, even the Three Jin Dynasty could not be defeated. By the time the national strength had recovered, it had reached the end of the Warring States period. Therefore, some people say, "Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, and Chu was the most innocent."

In fact, in the unification war, the Qin State also destroyed the Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou, a total of eight countries. Later, Chen Sheng and Xiang Yu both used the banner of Chu State to finally destroy the Qin Dynasty, although the prince of Qin was Liu Bang who surrendered, but Xiang Yu and Chen Sheng's great achievements were real. Although the Three Jin Dynasty was strong in the early Warring States period and Zhao was strong after the Hufu cavalry, they could not compete with the powerful Qin State.

On the other hand, in the Spring and Autumn Period, even if Qin Mugong was strong, the Jin State could be used as a forward position to block the pace of Qin's eastward advance. After the Qi State replaced Qi in the Tian family, it experienced another disaster, that is, Su Qin joined forces, Le Yi was weak and Yan broke strong Qi. Although the Qi State relied on Tiandan's Fire Ox Array and the Yan Civil Turmoil to restore the country, this time it also made the Qi State finally lose the strength of unification.

After the demise of the three major powers, Qin became the only country that could be unified by the Warring States, and Qin also fulfilled its historical mission well.

I think there are three reasons why the Jin Kingdom was decomposed, one is the existence of the feudal system, which is not perfect; Second, Jin Xiangong killed the prince of Jin State, and internal contradictions occurred; Third, the growth of the power of the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei greatly exploited the strength of the Jin State.

At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the power of the Jin monarch gradually declined, and in fact, the six masters controlled it, resulting in the gradual corruption of the system and the gradual decline of the Jin state.

In fact, the main reason is that the monarch of the Jin State was very rubbish at that time, and the policies he implemented caused the country to be very turbulent, and the country's strength declined very seriously, so it is not surprising that there is such a thing.

At the end of the Jin Dynasty, the Liuqing system was adopted, and because the internal interests of their own families were too much for the purpose, they competed for real power and interests regardless of the overall situation, and they fell apart with each other.
