Chu Huaiwang was the monarch of Chu during the Warring States Period, and Chu Huaiwang was the last monarch cultivated by the culture of rites and music. During the period when Chu Huaiwang just succeeded to the throne, he made an exception and appointed Qu Yuan and others to carry out reforms, defeating Wei State and making Chu the largest country at that time. In the middle of his reign, he mistakenly trusted Zhang Yi, the prime minister of Qin State, destroyed the Qi-Chu alliance, reduced his territory, imprisoned himself, and the state of Chu turned from prosperity to decline. So what is the specific historical story of Chu Huaiwang? Let's have a look.

Chu Huaiwang's Historical Story

Xiong Huai (360-296 BC): King of Chu in the Warring States Period.

He is the son of Chu Weiwang and the father of King Xiang of Chu. He was known as Chu Huaiwang in history, and his reign lasted from 328 BC to 299 BC.

It was once pushed to the left and right length by the six Shandong countries. He also took advantage of the civil strife in Vietnam to attack and destroy the country and set up a county in Jiangdong. However, he rejected the reformists, mistakenly believed in Zhang Yi, the lobbyist of Qin Dynasty, and destroyed the Qi-Chu alliance, losing to Qin, Qi and Hanzhong. When he was in office, he was insatiable and his mind was dizzy. He appointed Yin as a courtier and Jin Shang as a Shangguan doctor. After he went south, he loved Zheng Xiu and rejected Dr. Qu Yuan, which led to the failure of state affairs. He was imprisoned in Qin in the first 299 years and died in Qin.

Chu Huaiwang, Xiong Huai and Xiong Huai, sons of Chu Weiwang, succeeded to the throne in 328 BC, known as Chu Huaiwang in history.

In 323 BC, under the banner of sending Wei Gongzi back to Wei, Fu Zhaoyang led the troops into Wei, which not only defeated Wei Jun in Xiangling, but also won a decisive victory. In this battle, eight cities of Wei were occupied and brought under their own rule. Chu suddenly became the largest country in the world at that time, and it was also the country with the richest products, the largest population and the strongest army.

Chu Huaiwang ten years (3 19 BC), seeing that Qi had been overwhelmed, he and Han soon fell to Chu, saying that Wei had been following Chu, and Qin's coercion could not make Wei break away from Chu, so he advised Qin to cut. Chu Huaiwang had intended to attack the increasingly powerful State of Qin after overwhelming the two great powers of Qi and Wei. Chu Huaiwang appointed Gongsun Yan as the general contact person to organize a joint attack on Qin. Gongsun Yan is Ren Wei, who entered Wei from Chu, and discussed with Wei Huiwang the plan to attack Qin. Wei Huiwang ousted Yi, appointed Gongsun Yan as the new one, and expelled Yi Cheung back to Qin. Under the shuttle of Gongsun Yan, Chu, Qi, Zhao, Wei, Han, Yan and Yi Qu soon formed a situation in which the seven countries jointly attacked Qin.

In the 11th year of Chu Huaiwang (3 18 BC), the seven countries elected Chu Huaiwang as their ally, and attacked Qin from both sides. Chu Huaiwang shines brilliantly and becomes another overlord after Wei Huiwang.

In the 16th year of Chu Huaiwang, the three forces of Qi, Chu and Qin formed, and Qi and Chu formed an alliance. The lobbyist Zhang Yi came to Chu with the purpose of splitting the "two mountains" of Qi and Chu. In 3 13 BC, Zhang Yi of the State of Qin tricked the State of Qin into ceding 600 Li of land to do business, in exchange for cutting off the State of Qi and being trapped. After breaking off diplomatic relations with Qi, he was only six miles away. King Huai was very angry and sent troops to attack the State of Qin. As a result, he was defeated by Andy in Danyang. Chu Huaiwang then called the national army to attack and was defeated by Lantian again. After that, the State of Qin captured Zhaoling in the first 3 1 1 year, and all three wars were defeated, so the State of Chu went into decline.

In 306 BC (23rd year), the State of Chu took advantage of the civil strife in the State of Yue, joined forces with Qi to attack the State of Yue, occupied the capital of the State of Yue, killed the King of Yue, seized all the land from former Wu to Zhejiang, and made Jiangdong a county. As a result, the state of Yue fell apart and the remnants fled to their hometowns. Children of all ethnic groups struggle for power and profit, some are kings, and some are kings, living in the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River.

In 299 BC, the State of Qin captured eight cities of Chu, and Zhao Haoqi, king of Qin, and Chu Huaiwang met at Wuguan. Chu Huaiwang didn't listen to the advice of Zhao Sui and Qu Yuan and decided to go to Wuguan. As a result, he was detained by the State of Qin, forcing him to cede territory to save his life, but Chu Huaiwang, who still shouldered the sense of national responsibility, sternly refused. The State of Qin failed to realize its long-cherished wish of seizing and easily obtaining the territory of Chu, so it had to be kept in prison. During Chu Huaiwang's imprisonment, the Chu people made the prince king in order to assist the king.

In 297 BC, when he fled, the Qin people blocked the way to Chu and fled to Zhao, who dared not take him in. Wang Huai tried to escape to Wei, but he was caught by the pursuers of Qin.

In 296 BC, Chu Huaiwang died of depression. Qin in Xianyang returned the body to Chu. Chu people all pity him, just like their relatives.

In 278 BC, the general of the State of Qin led an army south to attack the capital of Chu. On May 5th of the same year, Qu Yuan also committed suicide in the Miluo River. The historical story of

Rite and music culture cultivated the last generation of monarchs.

Chu began to learn the etiquette and musical civilization of the Central Plains. In Chu Huaiwang's generation, aristocratic etiquette and musical civilization have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow. Chu became strong by trampling on the ritual and music civilization, and was eventually abandoned by history because of the ritual and music civilization. He gave his life for ceremony, music and civilization. Facts have proved that at the end of the cruel Warring States period, any innocence and simplicity is an unbearable luxury. Only the flower of pragmatism as cold and hard as iron can bloom in this cold season.

Chu Huaiwang's early death in Qin Dynasty was a tragicomedy. In the early period of Chu Huaiwang's rule (328 BC-365438 BC+03 BC), Chu was very rich and wanted to be strong, so this stage was comedy. However, since 3 12, Chu was defeated in Danyang and Lantian, and the comedy of Chu turned from prosperity to decline, which instantly turned into tragedy. Chu Huaiwang's tragedy lasted until his guest died in the state of Qin. The emergence and continuation of the tragedy is related to Chu Huaiwang's unclear understanding of the general trend, improper employment and low personal emotional intelligence. At the same time, it is also related to the defects of Chu's own power and talent system and the corruption of Chu ministers. Win fame before and after death. After Chu Huaiwang's death, people's evaluation of him was contrary to his own life, and he experienced a process from sadness to joy. Before the 1980 s, historians and literary circles mostly held a negative attitude towards him. Since the reform and opening up, academic circles have re-examined Chu Huaiwang on the basis of underground unearthed materials and affirmed his achievements. Chu Huaiwang's tragicomedy before and after his death reflects the complexity of Chu Huaiwang himself. At the beginning of Chu Huaiwang's administration, he had a strong desire and his original intention was worthy of recognition. However, the decline of Chu also has personal reasons. He was loyal to the country, showed a high degree of integrity and won the respect of future generations. -800 years of Chu State

Indecision leads to physical death.

Chu Huaiwang of Daqin Empire

Chu Huaiwang is an indecisive person. In the battle for Chyi Chin in the Central Plains, it was attacked by Chyi Chin. In the twentieth year of Chu Huaiwang, Qi Xuanwang wrote to persuade Chu to reconcile Qin and Qi. At that time, in the second year of Qin's existence, Zhang Yi was already dead. So, Wang Huai listened to Zhao Yin's advice and let Qin and Qi reconcile. In the twenty-fourth year of Wang Huai, Zhao Haoqi, king of Qin, acceded to the throne. Qin Zhaowang's mother is from the State of Chu, and advised her to make peace with the State of Chu. Qin gave her generously to the king of Chu, deviated from the peace between Qi and Qin, and went to Qin to marry her daughter and form a good marriage. In the twenty-fifth year of Huai Wang, he joined forces with Qin Wang in (now northeast of Xinye County, Henan Province), and Qin returned the land he occupied to Chu.

The alliance between Chu and Qin posed a threat, so Qi joined forces with Han and Wei to attack Chu. Han, Wei Ben and Qin "Lian Heng" dealt with Qi and Chu. Although Qin made peace with Han and Wei, he still attacked them. For example, in the third year of Qin Wuwang's invasion in 308 BC, Yiyang (now Yiyang West, Henan Province), a big county in South Korea, killed 60,000 North Korean soldiers. In four years, Qin Zhao captured Wusui (now southeast of Yuanqu County, Shaanxi Province). In the year of Qin Zhaoyuan, Wang attacked Wei Pi's home (now west of Hejin County, Shanxi Province) but failed.

In the fourth year of Qin Zhao, Qin captured Puban (now Zhou Pu Town, southeast of Yongji County, Shanxi Province), Jinyang (west of Ruicheng County, Shanxi Province) and Fengling (southwest of Ruicheng County, Shanxi Province). So Han and Wei went to Qi.

About ten years ago (3 10 BC), after his father Tian Ying, the Duke of Qi attacked Xue's title, claiming to be a state official and holding the power of Qi. The unification of the Han and Wei dynasties is not only related to the promotion of Qin, but also related to the integration strategy. After North Korea and Wei arrived in Qi, Meng Changjun launched an attack on Chu, an ally of Qin. In the 19th year of Qi Xuanwang, the allied forces of Qi, Wei and South Korea attacked Chu Fangcheng, defeated the Chu army by blowing sand, and killed General Tommy (or Tang Mei) of Chu. The land north of Wanwan (now Nanyang, Henan) and Yeye (now Yexian, Henan) of Chu State was completely lost and divided between Korea and Wei State. Wandi is a rich land, the gateway for Chu to enter the Central Plains in the north, and an important strategic place for long-term management. Its loss blocked the way for Chu to enter the Central Plains northward.

Chu was defeated by the attack of the Three Kingdoms, so he sent a prince to Qi as a hostage and surrendered to Qi.

Qin was most worried about the submission of Chu to Qi, so Qin sent troops to attack for twenty-nine years, killing twenty thousand Chu troops and killing the king of Chu. The following year, Qin attacked Chu again and occupied eight cities. At the same time, Zhao Haoqi, king of Qin, wrote a letter to him, asking Chu Huaiwang to meet him at Wuguan, so as to make the two countries get along well. Chu Huaiwang was embarrassed after receiving the letter and wanted to meet him, fearing that he would be cheated again; If I don't go, I'm afraid Qin will be angry and will be hit harder. Yin argued that Qin could not be trusted and had the ambition to annex the princes. We just need to increase our national defense strength. Zi Lan, the son of King Huai, advised him to go, thinking that the favour of Qin people could not be cut off, so Chu Huaiwang decided to go.

Qin Zhao didn't go to Wuguan at all, but only sent a general to ambush in Wuguan, pretending to be the king of Qin. As soon as Chu Huaiwang entered Wuguan, Qin Jun closed the door, hijacked King Huai to Xianyang, and appeared before King Qin Zhaowang in Zhangtai. Instead of accepting him as a monarch, he regarded him as Minister Fan. Wang Huai was furious and regretted not listening to Zhao Sui. The State of Qin put Chu Huaiwang under house arrest and threatened him to cede Wu and Qianzhong County to the State of Qin to make peace between the two countries. Chu Huaiwang is also ready to agree to form an alliance with Qin, but Zhao Haoqi of Qin insists on ceding territory before forming an alliance. Chu Huaiwang said angrily that Qin lied to me and forced me to give him land. He refused to give it, so Qin shut him up in Qin and refused to return home.

Chu Huaiwang was imprisoned in the State of Qin, so the Minister of the Interior took the Prince back from the State of Qi, made him king, that is, the King of Chu, and informed the State of Qin that Chu had a new king.

In the first year of King Xiang of Chu (298 BC), King Zhao of Qin saw that Chu Huaiwang would not give him land and established a new king in Chu, so he sent his troops out of Wuguan to attack Chu, defeated the Chu army, killed 50,000 people and seized Zhechuan 15 city in Henan. The following year, Chu Huaiwang fled the State of Qin and was discovered by the State of Qin, blocking the road to Chu. Afraid of Qi Weiwang, he fled to Zhao by another way. King Hui of Zhao acceded to the throne when he was young, and his father, King Wuling of Zhao, did not return to his hometown. King Hui dared not let King Huai enter the country. Chu Huaiwang tried to escape to the state of Wei, but the Qin people overtook him and hijacked him to the state of Qin. Chu Huaiwang was tortured, fell ill and died in Qin three years later. When Qin sent Chu Huaiwang's body back to Chu, everyone in Chu felt sad, and the relationship between Qin Chu was completely broken.

Send charcoal to your door on snowy days-provide help in time

The story is about the Warring States Period. Winter in Chu is the end of the year. There is heavy snow everywhere and it is freezing. Chu Huaiwang told people to make a fire in the palace, and it burned very brightly. He put on a thick fur coat, but he still felt cold and trembling.

Suddenly, he thought for a while, and his conscience found something. Putting himself in his place, he couldn't help thinking of his subjects: I lit the fire so big, and I was still wearing such a thick leather coat, but it was still cold. Then my people have no fire and no fur coats to wear. Isn't it even colder?

At this time, Chu Huaiwang was in a good mood and very generous, so he issued a decree to send coal for heating to the poor and tourists all over the country. After getting fuel from the monarch, people were very happy and moved. They were very grateful to Chu Huaiwang and praised him as a good king. This is the original origin of the allusion "giving charcoal in the snow".

Turn of spring and summer

Wushan was first seen in China's ancient prose, such as Gao and Goddess Fu. These ancient texts tell the story of King Xiang of Chu and Song Yu visiting Yunmengtai together. When they visited Yunmengtai, Song Yu said, "In the past, my late king, Chu Huaiwang, visited here. When he was tired, he fell asleep. The late king dreamed of a beautiful woman who said that she was the daughter of Wushan and was willing to give her pillow to the king of Chu. The king of Chu was very happy to know that there was an implication, and immediately took a fancy to Wushan beauty. When the Wushan girl left, she told Chu Huaiwang that if she still wanted to be a concubine, she would come to Wushan to find me. It will be' morning clouds' in the morning and' rain' in the evening. "

Get an undeserved/undeserved reward

During the Warring States period, vassal states often attacked each other, and Zhao invaded Chu by force. At this time, Du He, a native of Chu, came to see Chu Huaiwang, claiming that he could persuade Zhao to reconcile with Chu. Chu Huaiwang was very happy. He was going to make Doukhi the Fifth Husband and then send him to see Zhao. After learning of this, Minister Chen offered a plan to the King of Chu: If the mission with Zhao could not be completed, wouldn't it be a great achievement for the King of Chu to make him the Five Heroes? Chu Huaiwang listened to Chen Yi's point of view and asked, "What do you think we should do?" ? Chen said: Your Majesty had better send a chariot with 10 to Zhao, and when he has completed his mission, he will be named five outstanding men. Chu Huaiwang adopted the plan and sent 10 chariots to Zhao. When I saw that the title was not mentioned, I was very angry and simply refused to go to Zhao. So Chen Ke said to the King of Chu: Not accepting the mission to Zhao only shows that he has ulterior motives. His purpose is to defraud the title. Now I see that the king won't give me the title, so I simply won't go.

Be taught to be careful.

Metaphor is too cautious in view of past lessons.

When the poet Qu Yuan was an official in Chu State, facing the increasingly powerful Qin State, he advocated uniting Qi State against Qin State. But his idea was opposed by the rulers. Chu Huaiwang listened to the slanderers and deposed Qu Yuan. Later, King Xiang of Qing Dynasty exiled Qu Yuan to other places. Besides grief and indignation, Qu Yuan wrote many poems. Among them, there is a poem in Nine Chapters: "Why not change this will?" It means: people who drink hot soup and get burned should be alert and blow cold dishes and meat.
