In which areas of today s history the Wu Chu demarcation is

In ancient times, the state of Chu and the state of Wu once met along the Yangtze River, and many places in several provinces claimed to be the head of Wu and the tail of Chu, so the real boundary between Wu and Chu was **?

According to investigation, there is an ancient tablet standing on the top of the Zheling Mountains at the junction of Xiuning County and Wuyuan County, which reads "Wu Chu Branch".

In the middle of the Zheling Mountains, the four big characters of "Wu Chu Branch" are engraved on a huge rock, giving people a simple and solemn beauty.

Zheling is the place where Wu and Chu were divided during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it is also the watershed of the Yangtze River system of Poyang Lake and the Qiantang River of Xin'an River, and one of the four sources of Xin'an River.

Zheling, there was an important post road in ancient times, called Wuchu Ancient Road, also known as Huirao Ancient Road, because Jiangxi had Raozhou in ancient times.

Known as the thoroughfare of the seven provinces, all of them are built with blue strip stones, and have been well preserved until now after many ups and downs.

Standing on the observation deck at the head of the ridge, you can see the land of Chu in the distance.

From the "Wu Chu Branch" to Wu Guo, under the ridge is Zhangqian Village, Xiuning County, Anhui Province;

From the "Wu Chu Branch" to the Chu State, we arrived at Hongguan and Chaguan villages in Wuyuan County, Jiangxi Province.

First of all: there have been many changes in history, and there is no particularly precise so-called dividing line.

Some scholars have proposed that when King Huai of Chu was king, he had swallowed the Yue Kingdom of Wu, and the territory was very wide for a while, so the east of the two lakes could be called Chu.

Now it is simply said that the Qiantang River water system belongs to Wu, and the Poyang Lake water system belongs to Chu.

It was about the western part of today's Jiangxi Province and the southeastern part of Anhui Province.

The wars between Wu and Chu were frequent, and the borders of the two countries were intertwined. As Qianwu's friend said, many places in several provinces claim to be Wu Tou Chuwei, and this is also true. Du Fu's "Ascending Yueyang Tower" has "Wu Chu is in the southeast, and Qiankun floats day and night."

In other words, the Dongting area, which is generally considered to be the hinterland of the Chu State, was also the border between the two countries.

An area between about 50 kilometers south of Suzhou and 100 kilometers north of Hangzhou.

In ancient times, the boundary between Wu and Chu was near Poyang Lake in Jiangxi, which belonged to Jiangxi.

1. Chu is a large country that arose in the Jianghan River Basin, with the initial capital of Danyang (the confluence of Dan and Xiershui in the southwest of Henan), and the capital of Ying (now the northwest of Jiangling, Hubei) in the Spring and Autumn Period (now the southwest of Jiangling, Hubei), and the relocation of Yan (now the southeast of Yicheng, Hubei), called Yanying.

At that time, the national power gradually flourished, and successively annexed Shen (now Nanyangbei, Henan), Deng (now northwest of Xiangyang, Hubei), Xi (southwest of present-day Henan), Jiang (now northwest of Luoshan, Henan), Huang (now northwest of Huangchuan, Henan), Xu (now Sihongnan, Jiangsu), Tateshi (now northeast of Gushi, Henan), Liu (now Lu'anbei, Anhui) and Qunshu (now Tongcheng, Shucheng, Huoshan, Lujiang, Anhui), Baipu (now between Yuan and Hunan in Hunan), Huaiyi (now south of Shuyang, Jiangsu, northeast of Hongze Lake), and unified Jianghan and Huaihe River basins.

Its territory encompasses the whole province of Hubei today, north to the south of Henan, west to the southeast of Shaanxi and eastern Sichuan, east to Jiangxi and Anhui, and a small part of the southwest of Jiangsu.

2. Wu Yi is called Wu, all in Gusu (now Suzhou, Jiangsu). At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, it was a vassal state of Chu, and during the reign of Shoumeng (585-561 BC), it gradually became stronger, communicated with the Jin State, and later encroached on the territory of Chu and became a fierce rival of the Chu State. The territory is about most of today's Jiangsu, and a part of Anhui and Zhejiang, north to Huai and Si, and south to the Taihe River Basin, now Jiaxing, Huzhou and other places in Zhejiang, all of which are the territory of Wu.

3. Yue is located in the south of Wu State, Duji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). At the beginning, there was most of present-day Zhejiang and a small part of Jiangxi. After the destruction of Wu in 473 BC, there was all the hometown of Wu.

Later, the princes of the North Society settled in Xuzhou (now Teng County, Shandong) and moved their capital to Langxie (now Langxitai, southwest of Jiaonan, Shandong). It expanded to the southeast of present-day Shandong, becoming the largest country in the southeast.

1. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Wu was the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, mainly in the vicinity of Suzhou, and the national capital was Gusu, that is, Suzhou. Subsequently, Wu Wangfu sent the south to destroy the Yue Kingdom, the north to attack the Qi State, and occupied the northern part of Peihu Zhejiang and the northern part of Jiangsu.

2. During the Three Kingdoms period, there was only one and a half states of Wu, namely all of Yangzhou and the south of Jingzhou, which governed 6 counties, and the core area was in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, especially the area from the east of Wuhan to Nanjing, and the national capital Jianye, that is, Nanjing. However, it has a large area under its administration, including most of present-day Hubei, southern Jiangsu, southern Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, southeastern Hunan, Jiangxi, and northern Vietnam.

3. The territory of Chu was originally mainly in the mountainous areas of present-day western Hubei and the Jianghan Plain, and then gradually extended westward to the eastern tip of present-day Sichuan, northward to the Hanshui River and up to the Nanyang Basin and Danjiang River basin in the southwest of present-day Henan, southward to the Dongting Lake Plain in the northwestern part of present-day Hunan, and eastward along the Huaishui and Peihan Xijiang River to the southeastern part of present-day Henan, northern Anhui, northern Jiangxi and southern Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang.

Therefore, Wu Chu mainly refers to the two lakes and the Fujian, Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangxi regions.
