What was the social situation of the state of Chu at the end of the Warring States period?

During the Warring States Period, the state of Chu was roughly part of the current Hubei, Hunan, Chongqing, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shandong, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Guangdong.

During the Warring States Period, the state of Chu was the largest vassal state in the territory. According to today's provinces, almost Jiangnan and South China are the territory of the Chu State. However, the large territory of Chu does not mean that there is more territory to be mastered.

Many areas in the southern part of the Chu State were controlled by ethnic minorities, and the Chu State only controlled them nominally. For these ethnic minorities, the state of Chu did not have an effective means of appeasement. Not only was the state of Chu unable to take advantage of these ethnic minorities, but it also needed to leave part of its troops behind for defense.

In fact, from this point of view, the state of Chu is very similar to Tsarist Russia in the 19th century, both have a vast territory, but in the eyes of other countries it is an outlier.

The cultural achievements of the state of Chu.

1、**。During the Spring and Autumn Period, the state of Chu was already very developed. The state of Chu has set up a music official to be in charge of ** affairs.

For example, Zhong Yi, the Duke of Chu Yun, has been hereditary for generations, and Zhong Jian was appointed by King Chu Zhao as Le Yin. There are a complete range of musical instruments in the Chu State, including bells, chimes, drums, se, flutes, pens, pan flutes, etc. These musical instruments have been confirmed in the physical objects unearthed from the tombs of the Warring States Chu in Hubei, Hunan, and Henan.

2. Dance. The court music and dance of the Chu State is different from the folk music and dance, and the performance scene is much larger. In addition, due to the close cultural exchanges between various countries and regions, the music and dance of the Chu court also widely absorbed or introduced the music and dance of various countries and regions, which became a major feature of the music and dance of the Chu State.

3. Painting. The painting of the Chu State has developed greatly and has made outstanding achievements, mainly silk paintings, murals and lacquer paintings. For example, the tomb of Chenjia Dashan Chu in Changsha unearthed the "figure dragon and phoenix silk painting", the Changsha bullet Kuchu tomb unearthed the "character dragon silk painting" Changsha Loess Ridge unearthed the painted chariot and horse figure pattern lacquer Xi, in 1952 Changsha Yanjialing unearthed the lacquer with the pattern, in 1957 Xinyang Changtaiguan unearthed the painted hunting scene of the lacquer and so on.

4. Engraving. The representative works of Chu carving art, such as the magical Tiger Basin Flying Phoenix, the strange "Town Tomb Beast" carving, the light and graceful shape of the Tiger Seat Phoenix Drum, various forms of carved seat screens, realistic wood carving deer, abstract wood carving to ward off evil spirits and snake bottles, lacquer boxes of various state images, etc., represent the achievements of Chu carving art, as well as some aesthetic consciousness shown by Chu people when using the art form of carving. <>

During the period of King Xuan of Chu and King Wei of Chu in the Warring States Period, the territory stretched from Daba Mountain, Wushan Mountain and Wuling Mountain in the west, to the sea in the east, from Nanling in the south, to the central part of Henan, Anhui and northern Jiangsu, southeastern Shaanxi, and southwestern Shandong, with a vast territory. The state of Chu has entered its heyday at this point, and the south of Henan and the east of Sichuan are almost all the territory of the state of Chu.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Chu State set up the form of county political power, and Chu County was the earliest county-level administrative region. The state of Chu set up Yin Zhi County, and the county Yin was sent by the king of Chu and was not hereditary, which meant the germ of the ancient Chinese bureaucracy.

During the Warring States Period, the counties of Chu had no administrative functions, and there was no local political organization under the jurisdiction of the counties. However, the two forms of organization of counties and counties set a precedent for the emergence of local political organizations under the jurisdiction of counties and counties in the Qin Dynasty. Under the county, there are grass-roots organizations such as townships, prefectures, communities, and districts.

These are two important grassroots organizations.

The territory of Chu was roughly all of present-day Hubei, Hunan, Chongqing, Guangdong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Henan, and Jiangxi.

However, there are elastic changes of varying magnitude over time periods.

In the past, Hubei and Hunan were called "the land of Jingchu". Hunan Yuelu Academy also hangs the couplet "Only Chu is talented, and Yu Si is prosperous". It's probably in Hunan, Hubei.

It is mainly in Hubei, and later extended to the northern part of Hunan, the southern part of Henan and Jiangxi. Anhui. Jiangsu. Part of Zhejiang Province.

Summary. Hello dear, I'm Mr. Zhai ( I'm glad to serve you<><

The answer to your question is as follows: Yes. The state of Chu during the Warring States period and the state of Chu during the Chu and Han dynasties were the same country, and they both refer to the state of Chu in ancient Chinese history.

The state of Chu was a powerful state that existed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, located in the area of present-day Hubei and Hunan. The state of Chu reached its peak during the Warring States period and was known for its great military power and cultural influence. The state of Chu refers to the war between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and Liu Bang finally eliminated Xiang Yu's Western Chu and established the Han Dynasty, so it is also known as the Chu and Han Dynasty.

Therefore, it can be said that the state of Chu during the Warring States period and the state of Chu during the Chu and Han dynasties were different historical stages of the same country.

Is the state of Chu during the Warring States period and the state of Chu and Han fighting for supremacy the same country?

Hello dear, I'm Zhai Lao (I'm glad to serve you<><

The answer to your question is as follows: Yes. The state of Chu during the Warring States period and the state of Chu during the Chu and Han dynasties were the same country, and they both refer to the state of Chu in ancient Chinese history.

The state of Chu was a powerful state that existed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, located in the area of present-day Hubei and Hunan. The state of Chu reached its peak during the Warring States period and was known for its military strength and cultural influence. The Chu State Hunger refers to the war between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu in the late Western Han Dynasty, and Liu Bang finally eliminated Xiang Yu's Western Chu and established the Han Dynasty, so it is also known as the Chu and Han Dynasty.

Therefore, it can be said that the state of Chu during the Warring States period and the state of Chu during the Chu and Han dynasties were different historical stages of the same country.

It's not the end of the Western Han Dynasty.

I was wrong before. The Chu-Han rivalry refers to the war between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu of the Western Han Dynasty, which took place at the beginning of the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty after the fall of the Qin Dynasty. Xiang Yu was the representative of the state of Chu in the Chu and Han struggles, and he confronted Liu Bang, and in the end Western Chu was defeated by Liu Bang, and Liu Bang established the Western Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the Chu State of Chu and Han is the successor of the Chu State during the Warring States Period, and the Chu State of the late Western Han Dynasty is not respected.

There is no doubt that the Chu State of the Warring States Period and the Chu State of the Spring and Autumn Period are the same Chu State, but the difference between the Chu State of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is only the difference in land area and national strength. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, the state of Chu also changed with the changes in the pattern of the Central Plains and became more powerful.

The ancestor of the Chu people, Xiong Xiong, assisted King Wen of Zhou to destroy Shang and made meritorious contributions, and King Cheng of Zhou read his merits, and named Xiong Xiong, the great-grandson of Xiong, as a viscount, founded the country in Danyang, with a territory of 50 miles. This was the beginning of Chu's feudal state, but the initial territory was not large, and after generations of expansion, it gradually became stronger, and the hegemony lasted the longest. The ancestors of the Chu State were Mi, Xiong, and Xing in the Zhechuan area where Danshui and Zheshui meet, because the south was known as the land of barbarians at that time, so the countries looked down on Chu in their attitude.

However, the strength of the Chu State has gradually become stronger from generation to generation, and at its peak, its jurisdiction was roughly all of the current Hubei, Hunan, Chongqing, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang, and the territory area was the largest among all countries.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the struggle between the countries was fierce, and the wars between the princes and countries were endless, and finally the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons appeared, and the Chu State was impressively listed. The strength of the country can be compared with the Jin State at that time, what is the concept of the Jin State? There is an event in history called the division of the three families into Jin, and the three families of Zhao, Han, and Wei were separated, and these three families later became one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, so it can be seen from this that the strength of the Chu State can be seen.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Chu was already one of the five hegemons of the Central Plains, and later the strength of the Warring States States was washed again, but the State of Chu still sat firmly on the high platform, and it was still one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, which shows the strength of the State of Chu. It was not until 223 AD that the state of Chu was finally destroyed by the state of Qin, ending the glory of its existence. Throughout the history of the Chu State, the Chu State during the Warring States Period was the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period, and the two were in the same line.

It was the same Chu state, and the Spring and Autumn period was the period of division of princes, with a total of 135 vassal states, and there were seven vassal states left during the Warring States period.

It is the same Chu state, the Warring States period is 475 BC - 221 BC, the Spring and Autumn period is 770 BC - 746 BC, after the Spring and Autumn period is the Warring States period, or the same Chu state, but in the Spring and Autumn period it was a small country, after a long war annexed other small countries, to the Warring States period left seven vassal states, Chu State is one of them.

It is the same Chu State, the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Warring States Period, and the Chu State has always had the Xiong clan to rule. The state of Chu is located relative to other countries, geographically to the south, and witchcraft is prevalent.

Chu is an ancient country inhabited by barbarians in Hubei and Hunan, and the royal family is the Xiong clan of the Mi clan, which has not been accepted by the mainstream culture of the Central Plains since the Spring and Autumn Period, and he called himself the king at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, so there is an allusion to the king of Chu Zhuang winning the Central Plains. By the Warring States period, the state of Chu was gradually assimilated by the Central Plains culture.

Of course, it is the same Chu State, after the destruction of the Qin State, many countries in the Warring States Period restored their own countries, and they used the previous country name.

It is the same Chu State, because from the Warring States Period to the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu State did not perish, on the contrary, it continued to become stronger.

It is a Chu state, the territory of Chu is very large, and the state of Wu only occupied the capital of Chu, and even the king of Chu failed to seize it. Wu Zixu did not destroy the state of Chu, but the king of Chu Zhao ran to Yunmeng, and then fled to the state of Ying, and some fled to the state of Sui, and the Wu soldiers retreated. Therefore, the state of Chu during the Warring States period and the state of Chu in the Spring and Autumn period are in the same line.

It is a Chu state, a Chu state established by the feudal system in the Zhou period, there were many vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period, and only a few big ones were left in the Warring States Period.

The State of Chu, also known as Jing and Jing Chu, was a vassal state in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in Chinese history. The ancestral family name of Chu is Mi, Xiong. The Chu tribe, which first arose in the land of ancient Jingzhou, was destroyed in the Qin State.

The jurisdiction is roughly all of Hunan, Hubei, Chongqing, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, and Jiangxi.

The territory of Chu State stretches from Daba Mountain, Wushan Mountain and Wuling Mountain in the west, to the sea in the east, from Nanling in the south, to the central part of Henan, Anhui and northern Jiangsu in the north.

Including Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other provinces, almost the entire south. See this map.

With the two lakes as the center, it includes Jiangxi, Sichuan, Anhui and other provinces. For details, please refer to the Historical Atlas of China.

I hope you are satisfied with ......

The state of Chu was actually a barbarian, and unlike many other princes who were divided by the Zhou dynasty, Chu was a native regime that proclaimed itself king. Later, Chu accepted the viscount of the Zhou dynasty and paid tribute to Bao Mao, but most of the time he still claimed to be king. Before the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there was only Chu who dared to claim the title of king and sit on an equal footing with the Zhou Dynasty.

When the Western Zhou Dynasty was strong, the state of Chu had invaded the princes of Zhou in Hanshui and incurred a crusade, but the king was defeated, and King Zhao also died in Hanshui.

King Ping moved eastward, that is, the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Zhou Dynasty declined sharply. In fact, in the Spring and Autumn Period, in addition to the slogan of the overlord to talk about respecting the king, his status was getting worse, and the Lile expedition came out of the princes, and no one took the king of Zhou seriously. King Chuzhuang also went to Luoyang, and the importance of winning the championship created the allusion of winning the Central Plains.

It can be seen that it is powerful.

The state of Chu considered itself a branch of China and was forced south by merchants to leave the Central Plains. When the Western Zhou Dynasty was established, the State of Chu took the initiative to show favor to Zhou Tianzi, hoping to integrate into the big family of the Central Plains princes again, but it was poured cold water by reality. The Zhou people only regarded them as Nanban, and the title was only given to one viscount.

So the Chu people became self-reliant and fought a piece of the world in the south. and therefore aroused Zhou Tianzi's jealousy. The Zhou people attacked Chu many times, but did not achieve any results.

As a result, the entire army of King Zhao of Zhou was annihilated, which led to the decline of the Zhou royal family.

In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou royal family could not even handle its own internal Zheng Guo, and it was completely reduced to decoration. It has become a tool used by the great powers. In the end, even his own domestic affairs were mastered by the Jin State and became the rubber stamp of the Jin State.

In the early Spring and Autumn Period, the state of Chu, since he became king, initially wanted to replace Zhou Tianzi. However, once it was found that this was the case, it would cause the dissatisfaction of the princes. During the reign of Duke Huan of Qi, the state of Chu once showed weakness, but it was only verbal.

As the Jin and Chu struggles for hegemony progressed, the Chu State gradually changed its goal from replacing the Zhou Dynasty to competing with the Jin State for hegemony. The Zhou Dynasty became less and less of a concern for the Chu State.
