History of Chu (department of Contemporary Chinese Humanities)

About This Novel

The Chu people had Zhu Rong as their ancestor, and the starting point of their history was originally found in myths and legends. After going through many troubled times, Chu State was able to rise in the south. The people of Chu had the ambition to "reach the sky" and "to be astonishing", and had the courage to "pacify the barbarians" and "belong to the Xia". They finally became one of the five hegemons in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period. However, after achieving such achievements, coups and civil strife caused the Chu State to incur huge foreign troubles when Wu's army entered Ying, and its strength was greatly damaged. During the Warring States Period, the State of Chu used Wu Qi's reforms to break out of its predicament and bring improvement to the country. The State of Chu once reached the pinnacle of strength and prosperity. However, during the era of King Huai, he suffered successive setbacks and his power suddenly declined. After that, the capital of Ying fell, and half of the rivers and mountains were occupied by the Qin people. Although the people of Chu tried to make up for the situation, they could no longer change the trend of "six kings, one in the world". During the uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty, "Although Chu has three households, Chu will definitely destroy Qin", which left a long coda to the more than 800 years of Chu history.
