The mystery of Zeng Sui is a great achievement of archaeology and history. Archaeological and historical studies show that Zeng State and Sui State are two countries in the same country. In the history books, Zeng State is Sui State, and the ancestor is Nan Gong, the founding hero of the Zhou Dynasty. Zeng and Zeng ("Gou" or "Zhen") of this country were in Shandong Province, which existed in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties and were two countries.
The establishment of Zeng State in the Western Zhou Dynasty was an important part of the strategy of the Great South Expedition, which realized the effective control of Jianghan area by the Zhou Dynasty, and at the same time controlled the circulation arteries of national strategic resources of copper and tin at that time, that is, the "golden road and tin line" unearthed in the bronze inscriptions. This discovery is of great significance to clarify the historical and political map of the early Western Zhou Dynasty. ?
With the archaeological study of the tomb of Zeng Houyi from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the end of the Warring States Period, through the interpretation of a series of bronze inscriptions unearthed with a history of more than 700 years, the mystery of Zeng Sui, which has puzzled the academic community for 36 years, has finally been solved: Zeng Sui is actually a country with two surnames, Ji Zengguo is a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty in the history books, and the ancestor is Nan Gong, the founding general of the Zhou Dynasty.
