Soochow, one of the Three Kingdoms, was a regime established by Sun Quan in southeastern China. The country was named "Wu" and the historians called it Sun Wu. Because it was on a collision course with Cao Wei and Shu Han, and the area it ruled was located in the east of the Three Kingdoms, it was also called Soochow. Sun Wu is the longest-lasting country among the Three Kingdoms, having experienced four emperors for a total of 52 years. During the early years of Wei and Huang, Sun Quan was nominally attached to Cao Wei and was granted the title of King of Wu. On May 23 of the first year of Huanglong, Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor in Wuchang, and Sun Wu officially founded the country, and then moved the capital to Jianye. In the second year of Huanglong, Sun Quan sent Wei Wen and Zhuge to sail to Taiwan with "ten thousand soldiers". This was the first time that my country's political power reached Taiwan. Sun Wu controlled most of Yangzhou and Jingzhou in the late Han Dynasty and the entire territory of Jiaozhou, and later divided the northeastern part of Jiaozhou into Guangzhou. Sun Wu vigorously developed the economy and made significant contributions to the development of the Jiangnan region. On May 1, the fourth year of Tianji, Sun Wu died in the Western Jin Dynasty, marking the complete end of the separatist situation in China since the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms.
