After the death of Chen Huangong, the political situation of Chen Guo was unstable, and Chen Gongzituo, who was close to Zheng Guo, took advantage of the rebellion of the Chinese people, and with the support of Zheng and Cai, he established himself as the monarch of Chen Guo. However, he was killed by the Cai people after only twenty months of reign. Chen Huangong's son Yue was made the monarch by Zheng Guo and Cai Guoguo, and he was Chen Ligong. Chen Ligong was also born to a woman from Cai Guo, and his wife is also from Cai Guo. Chen Ligong's wife was in trouble with Cai Guoren, so Chen Ligong often went to Cai Guo, and later I don't know why, Chen Ligong was killed by Cai Guoren. The throne of Chen was succeeded by his younger brother Lin as Chen Zhuang Gong, Zhuang Gong died in the seventh year of his reign, and his younger brother Pestle was enthroned as Chen Xuan Gong, and the situation of Chen Guo slowly stabilized at this time.

During the time of Chen Xuangong, the Duke of Qi Huan of Qi had already become a hegemon, and Chen Guo had participated in the alliance of princes presided over by Duke Qi Huan many times, and the relationship between Chen and Qi, Lu and other powerful countries was also relatively harmonious. Later, Chen Xuangong killed the prince and renamed the son of the favored concubine as the prince, which led to chaos in the country. Chen Ligong's son, Gongzi Wan, the ancestor of the Tian clan Qi during the Warring States Period, had a close relationship with the crown prince Yukou, and in order to escape the disaster, he fled to the Qi country. Duke Qi Huan treated Gongzi Wan with great courtesy and wanted to appoint him as the secretary's doctor, but Gongzi Wan refused, so he changed to other official positions.

After Duke Huan of Qi, the state of Chu accelerated the pace of fighting for hegemony in the north. In 637 BC, the state of Chu crusaded against the state of Chen, and the state of Chen was forced to submit to the state of Chu. Later, Chen followed Chu to besiege Song and attack Jin. After the Battle of Chengpu, the Jin State prospered, the Chu State was frustrated, and the Chen State turned to the Jin State. Sandwiched between the Jin and Chu states, the state of Chen struggled to survive and was often violated. Chen's geographical location was closer to Chu, so Chen's tendency to be close to Chu was more obvious.

After Chen Xuangong's third pass, he was Chen Linggong, and Chen Linggong, the doctor Kong Ning, and Yixing's father all messed with Xia Ji. Later, Chen Linggong was assassinated by Xia Ji's son Xia Zhengshu, and there was civil strife in Chen State again. The king of Chu Zhuang took the opportunity to crusade against the state of Chen, killed Xia Zhengshu, and planned to make the state of Chen a county of the state of Chu, but later this matter was dissuaded by the prince of the state of Chu, Shen Shushi, so the state of Chu welcomed the prince Wu of Chen Linggong, who was in exile in the Jin state, as the prince of Chen Chenggong.

In 568 BC, the state of Chen reneged on its alliance with the state of Chu, and the king of Chu attacked the state of Chen the following year. Later, Chen Chenggong died, and the Chu army withdrew from the Chen state. Chen Chenggong was followed by Chen Aigong, and in 566 BC, the state of Chu again raised troops to besiege the state of Chen. In his later years, Wai Gong doted on his son and handed him over to his younger brother Situ Zhao to take care of. Later, Situ Zhao took advantage of Aigong's illness to kill the prince Yanshi, and after Aigong learned of this, he hanged himself. Situ Zhao then set up a prince to stay as the monarch, and the third civil strife broke out in the Chen State. King Chu Ling took the opportunity to order his younger brother to abandon his illness and attack Chen State, and Chen Junliu fled to Zheng State. The state of Chen died again at the hands of the state of Chu, and the land of Chen was placed as a county of the state of Chu.

The state of Chen experienced three civil strife and the disaster of the country's demise, and the country's strength became increasingly declining. In 529 BC, Gongzi abandoned his illness and staged a coup d'état, overthrowing King Chu Ling and establishing himself as King of Chu Ping. At the beginning of King Ping's establishment, in order to win the hearts of the people, and in order to ease the relationship between the vassal states destroyed by King Ling, he restored the state of Chen and established the son of the prince Yanshi as Chen Huigong.

Chen Huigong was followed by Chen Huaigong, and after Huaigong ascended the throne, the state of Wu at this time was already very powerful. Previously, the state of Wu had broken through Yingcheng, the capital of the state of Chu, and the state of Chu was almost destroyed. The king of Wu, 阖闾 (hélǘ), recruited Huai Gong to come to Wu State, but Huai Gong had to go to Wu State under pressure, but was detained and eventually died in Wu State. Huaigong's son, Yue, was made Chen Xianggong by the countrymen, and Chen Xianggong, as the last monarch of the Chen state, was later killed by the king of Chu Hui, and the Chen state finally perished.

According to the Book of Han, the customs of this area were that "women were noble, loved sacrifices, and appointed historians and witches, and their custom was to dance in order to enrich the spirits." Chen Di originally belonged to the Dongyi culture, and after the Zhou Dynasty, Chen and the Zhou royal family actively intermarried, absorbing and forming a Chen Di culture with regional characteristics. "Chen Feng" is a folk song of Chen Di in the pre-Qin era, with a total of 10 songs. In terms of the style of poetry, "Chen Feng" is "flattering and debauched, fearless". Although there are only 10 poems in "Chen Feng", the first one is a masterpiece. "Zepi" writes about the lotus flowers of the East Lake, "Moonrise" about the beauty under the moon, "Wanqiu" about primitive songs and dances, "The Pool of the East Gate" about the love of men and women, and "Zhulin" about political satire.

The 10 poems of "Chen Feng" are "Wanqiu", "The Hammer of the East Gate", "Hengmen", "The Pool of the East Gate", "The Yang of the East Gate", "The Tomb Gate", "The Prevention of the Magpie's Nest", "The Moonrise", "Zhulin" and "Zepi". Now, let's take a good look at these 10 wonderful poems!

"Wanqiu": I can't stop loving you

A man is very fond of a dancing woman, but this love seems to be a hopeless lovesickness, and there is a kind of understanding in the lovesickness, as well as sympathy for the woman to dance regardless of winter or summer.

Chen Guo retains some of the fanaticism of primitive religion, the witch wind is blazing, and the four seasons witch dance has never stopped. Looking at the passionate and unrestrained dance of this shrine dancer, the man developed a strong feeling of admiration, which is very reasonable.

The man was intoxicated by the beautiful and unrestrained dancing of the shrine maiden, and his feelings for this witch also became a sea of thoughts along with her dancing. When he sighed for beauty, he couldn't help but reveal his love and pity. And the shrine maiden had been dancing happily, not as if she had noticed the emotions surging in the heart of the viewer. This made the man a little melancholy, and said: Even if I fall in love, it is impossible between us. Men's unrequited love, good things are difficult to achieve, and there is really a helpless sense of resentment.

In the jubilant and lively drums and strings, the witch maiden kept spinning and dancing, dancing from the top of the slope on Wanqiu Mountain to the crossing at the bottom of the mountain, from the cold winter to the hot summer. Space has changed, time has changed, but her dance has not changed, she is still so radiant, still so enthusiastic and unrestrained, and still so wild and beautiful that is difficult to suppress. And at the same time, although the man did not say it explicitly, he must have been watching her dance with affectionate eyes. He has been silently telling in his heart: I love you so much, do you know it! While he has a clear understanding that his love cannot succeed, he is still reluctant to give up on her, and that unforgettable emotion is really amazing.

Flying and joyful dance, warm and unrestrained enthusiasm, unpretentious vitality, this woman's beauty is really breathtaking, even contemplative. For this man, however, the more joyful the dance, the more pathetic his love became.

This seems to be the charm of literature:

You dance enthusiastically, on the slopes of Wanqiu. I am admittedly in love, but I dare not have extravagant hopes.

You beat the drum and the sound of Kankan is heard, and you dance happily under the hills. Whether it is cold winter or hot summer, the heron feathers dance beautifully.

You hit the sound of Kankan and dance happily on the Wanqiu Road. Whether it is cold winter or hot summer, the heron feathers dance beautifully.
