Historical allusions

Juyanggong market town, capital of Chu (Taihe)

JuYang palace market town, capital of Chu

What factors led to Chu's moving its capital to JuYang? What factors made king kaolie of Chu choose JuYang? What factors laid the foundation for the 12 years when Chu moved its capital to JuYang? During the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, JuYang once became the capital of Chu. It is conceivable that when the princes and ministers moved here, there must have been many palaces and pavilions, and there must have been a temporary prosperity and merchants gathering. But at the same time, it will also be accompanied by the golden iron horse and hunting battle flag, which will awe the local people.

Today's desolate JuYang city site, with its own plain, silent evidence of a glorious era

Walking into JuYang city site

A site is a frozen history, a concentration of an era. In today's Taihe palace market town, there is a capital site, which is passed down as a palace by local people. It is the JuYang city site where the state of Chu moved eastward. Juyangcheng Palace site is the place where most Chu culture has been unearthed. It reflects that the politics, economy and culture of Chu state at that time were in a state of declining power. Zhang Huadong, President of Taihe palace central school, has been paying close attention to the local history. Since the 1980s, he saw an article in Anhui Daily about 36 places of interest in Anhui, which said, "the site of JuYang City, the capital of Chu, is in Zhuzhuang Township, Gongji District, Taihe County.". Although he is not from Gongji Town, his grave is not far from Gongji Town, and he works in Gongji town. From then on, he began to collect information about the JuYang city site intentionally or unintentionally.

At the same time, he had to read and collect every issue of Gufeng, which I wrote. In November 2005, he called and sincerely invited me to Gongji town to excavate JuYang City, which is popular among local people and historical records. After receiving the phone call from President Zhang, I feel very happy. I have the same interest with each other, and I have the honor to meet a historical and cultural enthusiast. Therefore, after finishing "you's garden revealing secrets", I originally planned to do more topics in Yingshang, but I still wanted to see Zhang Huadong, so I arrived at Taihe Palace on February 10, 2006. When I went there that day, the weather was surprisingly good, sweeping away the cold and gray in the past, and the sun was shining on every plant and tree on the earth. The car runs on the straight concrete road, and the mood is particularly refreshing. There's no reason why I'm not excited. It only takes me an hour to come to the powerful palace of Chu, and feel the glory of Chu capital thousands of years ago, and the romantic and mythical Chu culture derived from it. There are still more than 50 kilometers from Taihe County to Gongji, but now the road conditions leading to Gongji are very poor, and it is difficult for vehicles to travel. When we get to Gongji, we find that the JuYang city site is not in the market town as I imagined, but more than 20 miles northeast of the town. Without road repair, the car was driving in two deep pits in the dirt road. Slowly, JuYang city ruins came into our view. It was a piece of wheat field, green wheat seedlings in the sun is particularly beautiful, we got out of the car, walking slowly up the slope.

More than 2500 years of vicissitudes have already been razed to the ground, leaving only a little higher than the ground level and debris. Zhang Huadong pointed to the land under his feet and said that more than 2000 years ago, this was the site of the palace of the king of Chu. Later, he pointed to a village on the east side and said that this village was formerly called Xidian village, but now it is called Mazhuang village. There is also a village in the East called Dongdian village, which is related to the palace. A few minutes later, we came to the top of the hall, which is the highest section. Now this highland is a straight village road. Now Fuyang Bozhou expressway is in the east of this road, and there is Beijing Kowloon Railway to the East. Zhang Huadong said that the Chu palace was built with its back to the north and face to the south. In the north, there are few Highlands, while in the south, the wheat fields fluctuate until Huijiao temple in the south of Xidian village. The local people of Huijiao temple are said to be the temple of the empress of King Ping of Chu. It is about Wu Zixu's taking the crown prince and empress to escape across the Wujiang River. The empress was afraid to drag Wu Zixu to take the crown prince to the well. After Wu Zixu borrowed troops to come back for revenge, he built a Niangniang Temple.

Chu moved to JuYang

In 253 BC (the 54th year of King Nan of Zhou and the 10th year of King kaolie of Chu), King kaolie of Chu led a great army and people to move eastward from Chen (now Huaiyang of Henan Province) to JuYang. All the way, the crowd was moving, and the warrior in armor was advancing in an orderly manner with his sword and shield. To put it mildly, it's a national move. To put it mildly, it's a great escape. In order to avoid the attack of the strong Qin Dynasty, but just because of this, history was forced to move eastward by King kaolie of Chu, and his name and his 12 years in Taihe were remembered by Taihe people. Instead, it was king kaolie of Chu who established the capital and made JuYang a brilliant city.
