Mane Bear's wife, Yan Li, had a difficult birth when she gave birth to her son Xiong Li, and died after a caesarean section, and Xiong Li survived. After Yan Li's death, the sorcerer wrapped his abdomen with wattle strips ("Chu" in the original text) and buried him.
After King Wu of Zhou succeeded to the throne, Xiong Li and his son Xiong Mad also served King Wu of Zhou.
However, soon after, King Wu of Zhou had the intention of Tunan (intending to annex the Danxi Valley, where the ancestors of Chu lived). After Chu Xianmin realized this, under the leadership of Xiong Li, he moved south to Suishan and Jingshan (Limiao Town, northwest of Nanzhang, Hubei). Nanzhang is located at the foot of the "Nantiao Jing Mountain", which is designated by historians as the "birthplace of Chu culture". At that time, the Chu ancestors were forced to temporarily take refuge in the wilderness. At that time, Xiong Li named Suishan and Jingshan after the name of Jingtiao (Chu) in order to commemorate her mother who died in childbirth. Chu began to become a clan name and place name, but it had not yet been officially recognized by the Zhou dynasty.
Xiong Mania, the son of Xiong Li, the father of Xiong Yi. Grandson of the Mane Bear.
Xiong Yi, surnamed Mi, Xiong, name Yi, great-grandson of Xiong, the first feudal monarch of Chu State of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Reigned: years.
Both Xiong Madness and Xiong Yi were worried about being attacked by the Zhou Dynasty, so they took refuge in the land of Jingshan.
Coinciding with the rebellion of the three eunuchs, the Duke of Zhou resigned as regent and retired for fear of rumors, in order to satisfy the opinion of some people in the court that as long as the Duke of Zhou abdicated, the military affairs of the three eunuchs would disappear. But as it turned out, the goal of the three eunuchs was directly aimed at the throne. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before Duke Zhou was welcomed back to the court.
And the place where Duke Zhou retreated was Jingshan, where Chu Xianmin lived, which was in a sense Zhou's enemy country, which shows how resolute Zhou Gong's determination to retreat was.
But Zhou Gong was surprised to find that Chu Xianmin was very friendly to him, in fact, Chu Xianmin had served King Wen as early as the time of King Wen of Zhou, but he was threatened by King Wu and had to live in Jingshan, but they still had a good impression of Zhou, and did not treat him slowly because of Zhou Gong's temporary trouble, Chu Xianmin respected him as a guest, and Zhou Gong felt his virtue.
At this time, the Zhou Dynasty was in charge of Zhao Gong and Lü Shang, but the form did not make Guan Cai withdraw because of the retreat of the Duke of Zhou, and it was obvious that the spearhead had been pointed at the ownership of the throne, and the form continued to deteriorate.
In the second year of King Cheng of Zhou, seeing the civil strife of the Zhou people, the state of Xian (Qufu, Shandong), Pugu, Xu (Sihong County, Suqian City, Jiangsu) and Huaiyi, which had been pacified by Emperor Xin, and dozens of large and small states that had a close relationship with Yin Shang, responded to Wu Genglu's father and invaded Shao, one of the three prison areas directly under the original Shang, and launched a rebellion.
In the middle of the Shang Dynasty, the Shang King Nangeng and Yangjia were all set to be in Xiang, and only moved the capital to other places when Pangeng was in Pangeng, and Xian retained a large number of Shang Dynasty people, and gradually developed into a powerful Fang State in the East, and because of the close relationship with Shang, it was called "Shang Xiang" by a large number of historical materials.
Also actively involved in the anti-Zhou were the Feilian family, the ancestors of the Xu State and the Qin State. In fact, the ancestors of Thailand were also born in the country of Xu. They are all members of the Ying clan.
Let's introduce the origin of the Ying family.
Boyi was given the surname Ying by Emperor Shun for his meritorious work in assisting Dayu to control the water, and his clan was the surname Ying.
After Boyi's death, in order to win people's hearts, Xia Qi buried Boyi with heavy gifts on the one hand, and sealed Boyi's second son Ruomu in Xu, that is, in the central and southern parts of Shandong, and in the area of Tancheng. This was the founding of the State of Xu. Its tribal names are Xu Yi, Xu Rong or Xu Fang. Since then, the people of Xu have taken the country as their surname, and the main branch of the clan surnamed Xu has multiplied, developed and grown. Ruomu has become the basically recognized blood ancestor of the surname Xu in later generations. But if you look at Boyi's surname (Ying surname), it is actually Ying surnamed Xu. Later, gradually the family name also became a surname.
The state of Xu lasted from the summer time to the spring and autumn period, and the state of Xu was one of the vassal states in the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties. The Xu State gradually developed and expanded, and the area of the Xu State was first in the area centered on Tancheng in Shandong Province in southern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu, and then moved to Xuzhou, Sixian and Sihong. Pengcheng was renamed because of the Xu State and became one of the Kyushu Xuzhou (the "Kyushu" at this time was different from the "Kyushu" when Yu ruled the water, and the Xuzhou in the "Kyushu" in the Yu period refers to the area centered on Shandong Luxi and Lunan, including eastern Hebei and northern Jiangsu). At the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Xucheng (Sihong County, Suqian City, Jiangsu Province) was the capital. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Xu State was the largest and representative Fang State among the Huaiyi tribes.
Xu Guochang and Xu Rong are both titles of Xu.
At the end of the Xia Dynasty, Fei Chang, the great-great-grandson of Ruomu, the second son of Boyi, abandoned Xia to invest in Shang, drove for Shang Tang, assisted Shang Tang to destroy Xia Lishang, and became a hero of the Shang Dynasty.
Zhongyan, the great-great-grandson of Boyi's eldest son, Da Lian, drove for Emperor Taiwu, and Taiwu married his daughter to him.
Therefore, Xu Guo also branched out and some people were used by business. As a result, the Ying clan became the nobles of the Shang Dynasty and assisted the Shang Dynasty for generations. Until the era of Fei Lian and Evil Come, the important ministers of the Emperor (Emperor Xin).
At the end of the Shang Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou fell, the evil of the Ying surname tribe and his father Fei Lian worked for the king of Zhou, because of his poor reputation, he seriously offended the princes of all walks of life, and was killed by King Wu of Zhou, and Fei Lian was quarrying in the north, and there was no way to return to his life, so he built an altar in Huo Taishan to sacrifice to King Yin, and the result was a sarcophagus, the inscription said: "God spared the virgin father from the rebellion of Yin's death, and gave you a sarcophagus to glorify the clan." After his death, he was buried in Huo Taishan.
The tribes of Fei Lian and Evil Lai also joined the rebellion because their ancestors were important ministers of the Shang Dynasty. In fact, it existed as a peripheral force of the Xu State.
During the Gongdan period of Zhou, to the period of King Cheng of Zhou and King Kang of Zhou, the wars between Western Zhou and Xu were very frequent. Xu participated in the rebellion of the remnants of the Shang Dynasty nobles led by Wu Geng against the Zhou Dynasty and rebelled against the Zhou Duke's Eastern Crusade. King Xu Ju raised troops to attack the Zhou Dynasty directly until the Yellow River, and the Xu people were proud of the "first monarch and king of the west to help the river".
Zhou Gongdan's son, Lu Gongbo, who was later entitled, often had frictions with Xu.
Starting from Gongdan of Zhou, among the generations of King Cheng of Zhou and King Kang of Zhou, the wars between Western Zhou and Xu were the most frequent. Xu participated in the rebellion of the remnants of the Shang and Yin nobles led by Wu Geng and resisted the Eastern Crusade of the Duke of Zhou. The king of the king of Xu raised an army to attack Zhou directly until the edge of the Yellow River, and the descendants of Xu were proud of "the first king of the horse king to seek help in the river".
In the case of internal and external troubles, the situation of the Zhou Dynasty was precarious, but the Duke of Zhou, as the mainstay, had not yet returned to the court, and the government urgently needed his presiding. Lu Shanghe Zhao Gongzheng decided that he must invite back Zhou Gong.
In autumn, on a thunderstorm and windy day, King Zhou Cheng took the initiative to welcome Zhou Wengong (Zhou Gongdan, Zhou Gong) in the suburbs, as if looking forward to a savior, and still entrusted him with the position of regent.
