What are the reasons for King Chuzhuang s intention to win the championship, and King Chuzhuang s vi

The prince of Chuzhuang led the army to the north to attack Lu Hun Zhirong, and as for Luoshui, it reached the vicinity of Luoyi, the capital of Zhou Tianzi, and demonstrated at the border of the Zhou royal family, "Watching the troops in Zhoujiang."".King Zhou Ding was panicked and sent Zhou Dafu Wang Sun Man to comfort King Lao Chuzhuang. When King Chuzhuang met with Wang Sunman, he asked about the size and weight of Jiuding.

Jiuding is said to be cast by Xia Yu, symbolizing Kyushu, Xia, Shang and Zhou Feng are the treasures of the country, and they are the symbol of the power of the Son of Heaven. King Chuzhuang asked Jiuding, with the intention of "showing his desire to force Zhou to take the world" and replace him by himself. Wang Sunman saw that the state of Chu was flourishing, so he had to reply euphemistically

In Germany is not in Ding. ......Although Zhou De is declining, the mandate of heaven has not changed, and the weight of the tripod cannot be asked. ”。

On the one hand, the king of Chu Zhuang thought that "the beak of Chu is enough for Jiuding", and on the other hand, he also realized that the conditions were not yet ripe to replace the Zhou royal family, so he withdrew from the army. It is a major event in the history of our country, which marks that the state of Chu has entered an era of unprecedented strength and prosperity, and actually dominates the situation in the Central Plains.

The King of Chu won the title" is from "Historical Records of the Chu Family". After the Battle of Chengpu in Jin and Chu, Chu turned to the east. In 613 BC, after King Chu Zhuang ascended the throne, the state of Chu became strong again.

In 606 BC, the king of Chuzhuang attacked Lu Hun (now north of Song County, Henan) and fought until the Luoshui side, "watching the troops in Zhou Xinjiang", and demonstrated in Luoyang, the capital of Zhou. The king of Zhou sent Wang Sun Man to comfort him, and King Zhuang asked "the size of the tripod", intending to move the tripod to Chu. Wang Sunman said

Ruling the world is important in virtue, not in Ding. The king of Chuzhuang proudly said to Wang Sunman: "Don't stop the matter of casting the tripod, our Chu State only needs to collect the tip of the broken hook (a kind of copper weapon), it is enough to cast the nine tripods."

King Chuzhuang has the momentum to replace Zhou. Wang Sunman, the envoy of the king of Zhou, had a tough attitude, and the king of Chuzhuang had no choice but to withdraw from Zhoujiang. However, the act of Chu going north to fight for hegemony did not stop.

There is a debate in the academic community about the "King of Chu's victory". If you are interested, please refer to Gu Tiefu's "The King of Chuzhuang Asks for Questions" (in "Sunset Manuscript", Beijing Forbidden City Publishing House, 1988). Ancient text:

King Chuzhuang) then went to Luo and watched the troops in the suburbs of Zhou. King Zhou Ding made the king and grandson full of Lao Chu king. The king of Chu won the title of small and big, and said:

In Germany is no longer Ding. King Zhuang said: "There is no Jiuding, and the beak of the Chu State is enough for Jiuding."

Historical Records》 In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the size and number of tripods used represented the status and rank of the nobles. "The Legend of the Ram" He Xiu notes the clouds: "The Son of Heaven has nine tripods, the princes are seven, the doctors are five, and the Yuan Shi is three."

According to the "Zuo Biography" record, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the king of Chuzhuang led his troops to Luoshui to show off his strength to the Zhou Dynasty, and the king of Zhou Ding had to send Wang Sunman to treat the Chu army, and the king of Chuzhuang arrogantly asked Wang Sunman about the size of the Zhou Dynasty's treasure Jiuding. This allusion to "Chu Zi won the championship" shows that the king of Chu Zhuang coveted the Zhou room. "The Biography of King Dun of the Book of Jin" is therefore also cloud:

There is a heart to win, and the emperor is afraid of it. "Won" became an alternative word for "usurpation". The king of Chu is also called Chu Zi is also called Chu Zi.

Some words have also been derived from the king of Chu, such as winning the Central Plains.

The Chu Dynasty originated in a relatively large country, the political situation of the King of Chu is also quite remarkable, has been influenced by the major nobles, the King of Chu Zhuang quelled the rebellion, the political situation is blurred, during his reign, lack of strong support, has been addicted to wine for three years, idle, make a pair of people feel that the climate can not be, and then take this opportunity to observe some of the best ideas above the court, in fact, this is very smart, is to see who can resist him above the court.

One of the reasons is that the king of Chu Zhuang has a shocking attitude, at that time there was a person named Su Cong, because something made the king of Chu Zhuang unhappy, he wanted to kill the king of Chu Zhuang, Su Cong said, the king is really stupid, if you kill him, thus the king of Chu Zhuang will be achieved, and he will become the king of the dead country, is this not stupid enough, but the king of Chu Zhuang does not think so, the king of Chu Zhuang said that Su Cong is the real stupid, because he knows that he will die but still has to send people's heads, which is even more stupid.

In the Central Plains, King Chuzhuang has gone north to the Central Plains within a few years, and other countries are competing for hegemony, which makes Zheng a fierce war, during this period, which is what we call the Battle of Beilin in history, King Chuzhuang once defeated the Jin army, but in this, King Chuzhuang has not been a real victory, because he has never gotten a penny of the territory.

There is another reason for winning the Central Plains, that is, to be able to dominate the world, when he once competed with the Zhou royal family for hegemony, it was indeed a rare opportunity, but because King Chuzhuang did not have a better grasp, King Chuzhuang asked who was light and who was heavy. Because Wang Sunman did not get the trust of King Chuzhuang at that time, Wang Sunman said that the size of the tripod does not matter, but the important thing is not the tripod but the virtue, if we do not have virtue, then where do we start the so-called hegemony, so since then the king of Chuzhuang has retreated to attack the Central Plains, because the dynasty is still not strong to replace the dynasty.

The strength is strong, this is due to the trend of history, the general environment at the time, the dynasty at that time, and his personal character.

Because King Chuzhuang was very greedy in the process of the north, he wanted to gain the power of the world and improve his military strength, so he controlled the Central Plains region through his own ability, and officially became the overlord of the Central Plains.

His own strength is very strong, he also quelled the rebellion, very domineering, he also has such strength, and his confidence is very strong. That's why we can win the Central Plains.

Because he wanted to get more power, to be able to use his ideas, to build a powerful empire, to change the society at that time, this man had great ambitions.

The decay of the Zhou family, the king of Chu won the crown, and the meaning of contempt; Ding is the symbol of the throne of the Zhou Dynasty, and the king of Chu won the throne shows that the king of Chu Zhuang has the ambition to replace the king of Zhou with the strength of his power.

In 606 B.C., the king of Chuzhuang cut down Lu Hun Rong, then to Luo, watched the troops in the suburbs of Zhou, the king of Zhou Ding made the king of Chu full of labor, the king of Chu won the size of the king, Wang Sun Man said: "In Germany is not in the Ding." This is the famous allusion to the famous "Winning the Central Plains" in history.

1.Regarding the records of "the king of Chu won the crown", there are Sima Qian's "Historical Records" volume 40 of the Chu family and "Zuo Chuan: The Third Year of Xuangong".

3.In 613 BC, after King Chu Zhuang ascended the throne, the state of Chu became strong again.

4.In 606 BC, the king of Chuzhuang attacked Lu Hun (now north of Song County, Henan) and fought until the Luoshui side, "watching the troops in Zhou Xinjiang", and demonstrated in Luoyang, the capital of Zhou.

5.The king of Zhou sent Wang Sun Man to comfort him, and King Zhuang asked "the size of the tripod", intending to move the tripod to Chu.

6.Wang Sunman said: The importance of ruling the world is morality, not Ding.

7.The king of Chuzhuang proudly said to Wang Sunman: "Don't stop the matter of casting the tripod, our Chu State only needs to collect the tip of the broken hook (a kind of copper weapon), it is enough to cast the nine tripods."

8.The king of Chuzhuang has the momentum to guess and replace Zhou.

9.Wang Sunman, the envoy of the king of Zhou, had a tough attitude, and the king of Chuzhuang had no choice but to withdraw from Zhoujiang.

10.However, the behavior of the Chu State going north to compete for hegemony has not stopped.

11.The king of Chu is also called Chu Zi is also called Chu Zi.

12.Some words have also been derived from the king of Chu, such as winning the Central Plains.

After King Chuzhuang won the championship, he felt that the timing was not right, so he was not ready to replace the Zhou royal family, but returned to China to recuperate and hold socks, always ready to be the overlord of the Central Plains.

In the spring of 597 BC, the Chu army, which had rested for a winter, was ready to go, and the king of Chu Zhuang took advantage of the situation and personally led the army of Chu to start the northern expedition. This time, King Chuzhuang launched the largest and most fierce offensive since his reign, and from the perspective of the offensive situation, King Chuzhuang's victory in this battle was already determined to win. Soon after, the army of Chu surrounded Zheng Guotuan.

Zheng Guo was besieged by the Chu army for seventeen days, Zheng Xianggong divined the hexagram, and the hexagram said that Zheng Guo's army was auspicious, so he prepared to fight with the Chu army, and Zheng Guo wailed. After three months of protracted fighting, the Chu army finally occupied Zheng State, and Zheng Xianggong showed his chest and arms, hoping to plead guilty to the Chu army in this way and seek a chance to reconcile. King Zhuang of Chu agreed to Zheng Guo's request, so Chu and Zheng formed an alliance.

Because at this time, Zheng Guo was no longer the goal of the powerful Chu State, and the goal of the Chu State had become the overlord of the Central Plains at that time, the most powerful Jin State among the princes. Therefore, the goal of the king of Chuzhuang to attack Zheng was not only to conquer Zheng, but also to use this opportunity to get close to the Jin state, and arrange his own troops on the side of the passing, so as to compete with the Jin state. In other words, the war Zheng is a strategic deployment of King Chuzhuang, and I have to say that King Chuzhuang is also brave and strategic, and his wisdom is enough to support his ambitions.

The result is also known to everyone, King Chuzhuang finally defeated the Jin State and became the most powerful country in the Spring and Autumn Period for a time.

To understand this story, we must first understand the meaning of Ding. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the size of all the tripods and how much represent the level of their aristocratic status of the people used, and it is mentioned in the "Ram Biography" that the Son of Heaven has nine tripods, seven princes, five doctors, and three Yuanshi. From here, we can see that Jiuding symbolizes the status and rights of the emperor.

At that time, in the name of worshipping the Son of Heaven, King Chuzhuang asked the Zhou royal family about the size and weight of Jiuding, which was obviously declaring war on the Son of Zhou. But the prince and grandson of the Zhou royal family are not vegetarians, and Wang Sunman said that he does not care about virtue rather than the size of the tripod when ruling the world. King Chuzhuang was very unconvinced and said, don't think that there is anything great about Jiuding', my Chu country has copper, and you can make Jiuding by cutting off the blade on the weapon.

Wang Sunman also said, King of Chu, don't forget, in the early Xia Yu period, they were supported because of their virtues, so they sat in the position of the leader, and all places contributed copper, so they were cast into Jiuding, a symbol of power. Later, Xia Wei was mediocre, and the Ding came into the hands of Shang Tang, and the tyrannical Ding of the King of Zhou was transferred to Zhou. Therefore, if the Son of Heaven is virtuous, even if the Ding is small, it is heavy and difficult to transfer, but if the Son of Heaven has no gain, then the Ding can easily move no matter how big he is.

The national fortunes of the Zhou Dynasty are still over, and the weight of the tripod cannot be asked.

King Chuzhuang had nothing to say, but this matter was written into the history books, and it also became a representative of King Chuzhuang's ambition, and later generations also used the title to symbolize the seizure of the supreme power.
