Xiong, whose birth and death date is unknown, was the son of a famous businessman and son in the Warring States Period. After he came to power, he inherited the achievements of his father Chu Xuanwang. His father was an accomplished king, ambitious and bent on unifying the vassals. To this end, he actively rescued Zhao from attacking Wei and actively expanded to Bashu area. Looking at the king of Chu, he is the king who made the state of Chu develop to the most powerful after mourning the king. Chu Xuanwang could not have died on the day when Chu unified the six countries. He gave this wish and heavy responsibility to Chu Weiwang, hoping that he could continue to follow the powerful momentum of Chu. The King of Chu can clearly understand the strength of Qin, which is a country of tigers and wolves and cannot be easily angered, which shows that Chu Weiwang has a clear understanding of the domestic and international situation. Unfortunately, however, in his hands, the regime remained stable for only ten years. Ten years later, with Chu Huaiwang's coming to power, the whole state of Chu declined more and more.
"Historical Records and Biography of Su Qin" records that Su Qin once said to Chu Weiwang: "Chu is a powerful country in the world; King, the wise king of the world. The place is more than 5,000 miles, with millions of armor, thousands of cars and horses, and ten years of millet. The capital of this overlord is also. " Chu Weiwang was well aware of the influence of the rise of Qin on Chu, so with his efforts, he actively sought talents. As soon as he heard that Saint Zhuangzi was going south, he immediately sent his own emissary and offered an olive branch to Zhuangzi. "Wen Zhuang, make thick money to meet it, perhaps thinking", thinking that it is impolite to ask Zhuangzi to come out of the mountain empty-handed, let the messenger bring gold here to invite Zhuangzi to come out of the mountain.
Zhuangzi, surnamed Zhuang, Zhou, Zi Zixiu, was born in the Song Dynasty, and Zhuangzi's ancestor was the monarch and duke of the Song Dynasty. He was a famous thinker, philosopher and writer in the middle of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Warring States Period. Zhuangzi, an important school of philosophy in China, was founded. He is a representative of the Taoist school in the Warring States period after Laozi and one of the main representatives of the Taoist school. In his early years, he had to go south to make a living because of his poor family. When Chu Weiwang heard that Zhuangzi was coming, he immediately sent an envoy to invite Zhuangzi to Chu. Although Chu Weiwang's proposal is attractive and Zhuangzi's remuneration is considerable, Zhuangzi is no longer willing to work for Chu. Why?
Zhuangzi is the most distinctive figure among the pre-Qin philosophers. You never know what he will do next, and you will never find out where he will go next. Zhuangzi can be a cloud, a big bird or a big fish. No matter what posture he takes, he is free. He doesn't like being tied down. In everyone's eyes, he is a wise man and a philosopher. His mind is always full of wild imagination. Zhuangzi is detached.
At that time, Zhuangzi heard that the emissary of Chu was looking for himself, and he was still fishing in Pushui. After hearing the news, he was unmoved and still focused on fishing his own fish. After the messenger explained his purpose, Zhuangzi still showed a caring attitude. The messenger thinks this is a stubborn old man. Zhuangzi asked the emissary whether he would like to be a turtle enshrined in the temple or a turtle dragging its tail in the mud. The messengers all chose the latter, and Zhuangzi flashed a little smile. "Yes, I just dragged my tail and walked slowly in the mud." As a result, Chu Weiwang's invitation was politely refused. In 329 BC, Chu Weiwang died, and Chu Weiwang was in office for only ten years. The history books did not specify the cause of his death. Later, his son Xiong Huai acceded to the throne for Chu Huaiwang.
