According to the Records of history, warring states policy and other historical records, the Tian clan Dai Qi, also known as Tian Chen Usurpation Qi, refers to the event when the descendants of the Chen Guo Tian clan replaced the Qi state Jiang surname Lü shi as the Marquis of Qi (Qi Wei was originally called the King of Qi). In 386 BC, King An of Zhou officially appointed Tian He as the Marquis of Qi, and since then the Tian clan has formally acquired the status of Marquis of Qi. In 379 BC, the Duke of Qi Kang died, Feng Yi entered the Tian clan, the Jiang surname Lü shi withdrew from the big stage of the State of Qi, and the Tian clan Qi State was known as the Seven Heroes of the Warring States along with the Qin State, the State of Wei, the State of Korea, the State of Zhao, the State of Yan, and the State of Chu. After the Tian clan dai Qi, Qi Taigong Tian He mainly stabilized the monarchy of the Tian clan, and after Qi Taigong Tian He, the reign of Qi Hou Tian He was relatively short. However, after this, the State of Qi produced three Ming Emperors in a row, and the result was defeated by the State of Qin.
One
First of all, during the Warring States period, the State of Qi produced three consecutive Ming monarchs, these three monarchs were Qi Huan Gong Tian Wu, Qi Wei Wang Tian Yin Qi, and Qi Xuan Wang Tian Peijiang. Specifically, as far as Qi Huan Gong Tian Wu is concerned, it is also called "Tian Qi Huan Gong", which is different from Qi Huan Gong, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. Tian Wu (400 BC – 357 BC), a native of the Warring States period, was born in the fifth year of the Duke of Qi Kang, the third monarch of the State of Qi after Tian Daiqi. Although during the reign of Qi Huan Gongtian Wu, the State of Qi was not very strong, that is, it was suppressed by the Three Jin Dynasties of Wei, Korea, and Zhao. However, during his reign, he founded the Minoru Gakuen Palace, recruited the world's sages, gathered disciples to give lectures, and wrote books and lectures. This prompted the State of Qi to gather talents and flourish, thus reaching its peak during the reign of King Xuan of Qi. In other words, the Minoru Xuegong founded by Qi Huan Gongtian Wu contributed a large number of talents to qi guoqiangsheng.
Two
In the sixth year of the reign of Duke Huan of Tian Qi (357 BC), Duke Huan of Qi died, and Tian Yinqi succeeded him as King of Qiwei. In the first year of the reign of King Wei of Qi (356 BC), the three kingdoms of Wei, Korea, and Zhao joined forces to attack the state of Qi. In this regard, the King of Qi Wei was ashamed and then brave, and chose to appoint Zou Ji to change the law. Moreover, the King of Qi Wei also took Tian Ji as his general and Sun Zhi as his military division, and selected the best and the best, with clear rewards and punishments, which promoted the national strength of the State of Qi to be continuously enhanced. On this basis, after the Battle of Guiling and the Battle of Maling, the State of Qi defeated the Central Plains overlord Wei in one fell swoop and began to dominate the princes. The King of Qiwei was originally a marquis, and in the twenty-third year of the reign of King Qiwei (334 BC), King Hui of Wei and King Wei of Qi met in Xuzhou and recognized each other as kings, known in history as "King Xiang of Xuzhou".
Three
As a result, King Qi Wei also became the first monarch of the State of Qi to be officially called king. In this regard, in the author's opinion, in the history of the Tian clan Qi state, the king of Qi Wei can be described as a monarch who inherits the upper and lower levels, that is, he officially opened the hegemony of the state of Qi. In the thirty-sixth year of King Qiwei (320 BC), King Qiwei died, and Tian Peiyi took the throne as King Xuan of Qi. In the sixth year of King Xuan of Qi (314 BC), Qi attacked Yan and almost destroyed the Yan state. In addition to the use of foreign troops, King Xuan of Qi loved literary lobbyists and did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to attract literati and scholars from all over the world to come to the "Jixia Xuegong" in the State of Qi. In this regard, in the view of many historians, during the reign of King Xuan of Qi, the Jixia Xuegong entered its peak, that is, at this time, the State of Qi was not only strong in troops and strong, but also full of talents, which can be said to be no less than the Qin State after the Shang Martingale Transformation Law.
Four
In the end, however, the State of Qi was defeated by the State of Qin. And this monarch is King Qi Min. King Qi Tang (?) –284 BC), also known as King Min of Qi, officially ascended the throne in 301 BC. Through the efforts of the three monarchs, Tian Wu, the Prince of Qi, Tian Yinqi, the King of Qiwei, and Tian Peijiang, the King of Qixuan, the State of Qi, which was taken over by King Min of Qi, undoubtedly reached its peak. However, it was precisely because of his strong national strength that King Qi Min began to make enemies everywhere, not only fighting with the State of Qin, but also feuding with the State of Chu, the State of Yan, and the Three Jins, and even more because of the annexation of the State of Song, which was responsible, he was attacked by the "Five Kingdoms of Qi". For the Five Kingdoms of Qi, on the surface it was initiated by the State of Yan, but in fact, the State of Qin contributed a lot behind it. That is, after King Zhaoxiang of Qin and King Min of Qi were called the "Second Emperor of The East and West", the State of Qi became a major problem for the Confidant of the State of Qin. In the context of the inability to defeat the State of Qi alone, the State of Qin, together with the State of Yan and the Three Jins, severely damaged the State of Qi, causing the State of Qi to decline.
