The origin of Wu state
According to historical records, Mrs. Zhou has three sons, the eldest son Taibo, the second son Zhong Yong and the youngest son Ji Li. ?
Ji Li's son Ji Changcong likes Wang Tai in Tomorrow Morning very much. Zhou wanted to preach in Jichang, but according to the tradition at that time, he should preach among the eldest son, so the King of Thailand was very unhappy. After Taber understood his father's meaning, he and his second brother Zhong Yong took the opportunity to collect herbs for his father and fled to the desolate south of the Yangtze River. They settled in Meili (now Mei Village, Wuxi, Jiangsu), created their own inheritance and established the ancient Wu Gou State.
Taber and Zhong Yong "tattooed", accepted the local customs, actively integrated into the local society, and brought the advanced farming technology of the Central Plains to the local area, so thousands of small tribes volunteered to join Taber. "Taibo going to Wu" is undoubtedly a fusion and exchange of Central Plains culture and Southeast culture, which is of great significance to the development of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. ?
