Chu is a country founded by Sanmiao people in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. At the beginning of the Zhou dynasty, he participated in the chaotic war, and later won the Zhou Guo, living in Danyang, Chu (now Xixian County, Hubei Province). In the early Spring and Autumn Period, Chu became increasingly powerful. In 704 AD, Xiong Tong in Chu Jun, thousands of miles away, was called King Wu. Because it is located in the south of China, there are often some wars between Chu and China governors in the Central Plains. Through the war, Chu annexed forty-five weaker vassal states, and gradually became one of the major powers in southern China in the early Spring and Autumn Period.
Qi state
Qi's ancestors were the people of the counselor. He was named King of Qi for his meritorious service in helping Zhou destroy the Shang Dynasty. At the same time, Zhou rulers gave Qi a privilege-he could punish guilty princes. With this privilege, Qi developed into an oriental power in the Western Zhou Dynasty. During the Spring and Autumn Period, a famous politician Qi Huangong appeared in the State of Qi. He relied on Guan Zhong, an adviser, to rectify state affairs, set up various officials to perform their duties, and divided the country into 21 townships, including 6 townships for industry and commerce and 15 townships for scholars. These fifteen townships are all agricultural townships, where people usually concentrate on farming and serve as soldiers in wartime. During these years, Qi became rich and strong, and by 679 BC, Qi ruled the north. Later, in 567, the State of Qi wiped out Lai, a great country in Dongyi, and its territory more than doubled, making it a truly one of the best countries.
Jin state
The state of Jin was originally located in the nomadic area of Rongdi. At the beginning of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, (676 BC-65 BC1) established its capital, Jiang (Yicheng County, Shanxi Province), and the hegemony of the State of Jin began. The State of Jin has successively eliminated some small northern vassal states such as Huo, Geng, Wei, Yu and Guo, and unified the Fenhe River basin. In 636, Gong Xian's son Zhong Er ascended the throne. He was exiled by Gong Xian 19 years. During this 19 year, Zhong Er traveled around the world and accumulated rich political experience. After returning to China, he immediately set out to rectify his political affairs. Together with his ministers, he led the Jin, Qin, Song and Qi armies to attack Chu twice, occupying a large territory in the south. Jin Jun's expedition to the south promoted the further spread of Chinese civilization to the south of the Yangtze River and accelerated the pace of great integration of the Chinese nation. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, there was a crisis in the rule of Jin State, which eventually split into several independent vassal states, such as Korea, Zhao and Wei, which was called "the three tribes divided into Jin" in history.
Wu dialect
Wu is a new vassal state developed in the middle and early Spring and Autumn Period. Originally a vassal state of Chu, it gradually broke away from the rule of Chu with its later strength. In 506, Wu attacked Chu. During the war, Wu conquered Chengying (now Jiangling, Hubei), the capital of Chu for 200 years, and plundered a lot of materials. Wu Chu War was the first major war in the Spring and Autumn Period. As a result of the war, Chu suffered unprecedented trauma, and Wu gradually replaced Chu as a southern power.
Yueguo
Yue, like Wu, is a vassal state of Chu, but the rise of Yue was later than that of Wu, and it was not until Yunchang that the King of Yue became king. Later, with the help of Wen Zi and Fan Li, the old ministers of Chu, the King of Yue repelled the invasion of Wu. Later, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, took Wu Zixu as the general, captured Yue State and made it surrender. However, Gou Jian, the King of Yue, was not willing to fail. He lives in firewood and tastes bitter once a day to show that he does not forget his national enemy. After several years of preparation, Gou Jian, King of Yue, destroyed Wu in 473 BC and became another southern power after Wu.
Qin state
Among several big countries, Qin is not the most powerful country, but with its superior geographical position, Qin became the fastest developing country in the Spring and Autumn Period. During Qin Mugong's reign, he once made Qin powerful for a period of time with his counselor Priscilla. However, Qin is located in the northern part of the Central Plains, and it is mixed with northern tribes such as Rongdi and Qiang. Therefore, the governors of China have been using the Qin and Wei Dynasties to honor the emperor and forbade him to join the Central Plains, which gave A Qin a good development opportunity. Later, during the Warring States period, Qin wiped out the six countries with great strength and unified the world.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, various vassal states annexed other small countries, especially big countries such as Chu and Qi. By the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, most small and medium-sized countries gradually withdrew from the historical stage and were replaced by the ruling era of Qin, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei and Qi. At this point, the Spring and Autumn Period in China's history ended, followed by another separatist era-the Warring States Period.
