Where is the capital of Chu?
Ying, an ancient place name.

The capital of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Chu people have the habit of naming the capital after Ying. Due to historical reasons, the capital of Chu moved many times, and the number and frequency of its move were unmatched by other governors in the early Zhou Dynasty. The word "cloud" comes from "cloud". The land of clouds is the homeland of Chu, where the ancestors of Chu lived and founded their country. Chu people have a deep love for the land, so they changed the word "North" to the capital of Wang, and the place where the capital was moved was called the cloud.
