Synopsis

Since the founding of the Chu State, the soldiers have expanded their territory and conquered the South Vietnamese nation from the initial fifty-mile city, and then sent their troops north to fight with the overlords of the Central Plains. The kings of the Chu Kingdom were even more majestic, witty and brave, or vying for supremacy. In its 800-year history of development, more than forty generations of kings experienced ups and downs, and its territory continued to expand. At one time, Chu State developed into the country with the largest territory, the most populous population, and the most powerful power. And implement cultural absorption, integration and innovation. To this day, it has a profound influence on the Yangtze River Basin, southeast and southwest regions of our country. It is not only the vassal state with the most splendid culture on the land of China, but also once the highest peak of civilization in the world. However, this wonderful history, with the unification of Qin, destroyed the historical documents of various countries. The splendid and broad Chu culture merges into the melting pot of Chinese culture. And that period of once vivid and glorious history has become a spark in the ashes. People today can only find some traces in the Spring and Autumn Annals and the Book of Songs. This book will restore the 800-year history of the rise and fall of the Chu State for readers with thick pen and ink. In each historical stage, it will focus on the fate of important figures and the historical development trend of the Chu State, so that the splendid history and culture of the Chu State can be revived in the text, and the magnificent historical totem can be reproduced.

This book is very interesting. It tells the history of Chu State and made me understand the struggles of Chu people and the rise and fall of Chu State. I think of my own study, which requires continuous efforts to achieve good results, just like the Chu people who expanded their territories. I don't like the emperor of Zhou Dynasty. He didn't recognize the Chu people and led his army to attack them. Fortunately, the Chu people were very powerful and won the victory. I want to learn from Chu people and not be afraid of difficulties and work hard to achieve my goals. This book made me very interested in history, and I wanted to know more about the story of Chu.

History tells us that we only see the positive side but not the negative side, and underestimate the impact of the environment on life.

Well, the boring history is filled with ups and downs and poured into my mind like a story. The Chu State moved from barbarism to civilization step by step.

A history book with authentic and thorough historical data, a historical reference book worth recommending. It is suggested that historians should consider the psychological factors of King Huai of Chu's determination to enter Qin when analyzing his family relationship with Qin.
