What does it mean to win the Central Plains What is the historical story in it?

From "Zuo Biography" won the Central Plains, ask: ask, Ding: ancient utensils for cooking things, three legs and two ears.

Central Plains: The middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, referring to the territory. The metaphor is an attempt to take over the world.

As a national treasure passed down from generation to generation, Jiuding symbolizes the dignity of the Son of Heaven, the sanctity of the throne, and has always been like a god to pay tribute, and no one is allowed to ask. The Zhou Dynasty set the Central Plains, and the power was given by God. Ding's severity is inappropriately asked.

The king of Chuzhuang won the title, and he wanted to replace the Zhou Dynasty in the world, but he was severely reprimanded by Wang Sunman, the envoy of the king.

Ding symbolized power in ancient times, and the Central Plains was the place where the Son of Heaven was located, and it was also the place where the monarchy was divinely granted, representing orthodoxy, and the whole world came to obedience. Winning the Central Plains means winning the world and monopolizing power. Legend has it that in ancient times, Xia Yu cast Jiuding, representing Kyushu, as a symbol of national power.

The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties took Jiuding as the important weapon of the country, which was owned by those who won the world.

Winning the Central Plains describes some behaviors that want to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne and control all the Central Plains. Under the pretext of crusading against the invaders, King Chuzhuang brought his army to Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and then held a grand military parade in the territory of Zhou Tianzi.

This is the story of the king of Chu in the Warring States period, because in ancient times the king represented the king, so the king of Chu represented the weakening of the power of Zhou Tianzi in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

"Winning the Central Plains" Q: Ask. Ding: An ancient utensil for cooking things, with three legs and two ears. Central Plains: The middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, referring to the territory. The metaphor is an attempt to take over the world.

From "Zuo Chuan", in the third year of Lu Xuangong (606 BC), Chu Zi (King Chu Zhuang) attacked Lu Hun Zhirong, and then went to Luo (now Luoyang City, Henan Province), and watched the troops in Zhoujiang. The king made the king and grandson full of Chuzi, and the size of Chuzi's victory was important, and he said: In Germany is not in Ding.

In the past summer, there are virtues, distant pictures, tribute and gold and nine pastures. Cast a tripod elephant, prepare all kinds of things, so that the people know the treacherous. The old people enter the mountains and forests of Sichuanze, and they are not as good as each other, and they are not able to meet them.

Use energy to cooperate up and down, in order to bear the day. There is virtue, Ding moved to Shang, carrying worship (worship, year) 600. Shang is tyrannical, Ding moved to Zhou, Lourdes Xiuming, although small, heavy.

Its treachery is chaotic, although it is big, it is light. Tianzuo Mingde, there is a (sound) stop. Cheng Wang Dingding in Jiajun (now Luoyang City), 30 years of Bu Shi, 700 years of Bu year, the destiny of heaven also.

Although Zhou De declined, the mandate of heaven has not changed. The weight of the tripod is not to be asked.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the king of Chuzhuang went on a northern expedition, and asked the envoy of Zhou Tianzi about the weight of Jiuding, which had the potential to seize the world of the Zhou Dynasty. In 606 B.C., the Xiong Brigade of King Xiong of Chu Zhuang took the opportunity of attacking Lu Hun Zhirong (now northeast of Song County, Henan) to drive the army of Chu to the southern suburbs of Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and held a grand military parade. King Zhou Ding, who had not long been on the throne, was nervous and sent Wang Sunman, who was good at coping, to comfort him.

When King Zhuang saw Wang Sunman, he asked, "How big is Zhou Tianzi's ding?" How much does it weigh?

The implication is to compare power with Zhou Tianzi. Wang Sunman said euphemistically: "The rise and fall of a country depends on the presence or absence of morality, and it does not care about the size of the tripod.

When the king of Chu Zhuang saw that Wang Sun Man was blocking him with words, he said directly: "You don't want to hold Jiuding yourself, the blade of the halberd hook of Chu Guo is enough to cast Jiuding." In the face of King Chuzhuang, who looked down on the north, the eloquent Wang Sun Man first bypassed King Zhuang's words, talked about the age and inheritance of Jiuding production, and finally said:

Although the Zhou room is declining, the destiny has not changed. The weight of Baoding can't be asked. The king of Chu Zhuang no longer insisted on it, so he waved his army to attack Zheng to ask Zheng for betraying Chu and defecting to the Jin state.

This is how the allusion of "winning the Central Plains" came about.
