What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the historical allusion of the Yue King's practice of "lying down and tasting the guts" can be said to be well-known, but such a famous historical allusion is only a small part of the long history, and we know that in order to make himself not forget the humiliation he suffered in the Wu Kingdom, the Yue King Gou Jian used weapons as a pillow, straw as a paving, and hanging beams as a bitter gall to feed on every day, and struggled hard for more than ten years, and finally defeated Wu Wang Fuchai and successfully took revenge. Many people think that this is the end of the story. In fact, it was not, and the Country of Vietnam later experienced many things, sinking and floating in the torrent of history.
How was the State of Vietnam established? Historical records show that as early as the twenty-first century BC, Shun, because Yu yu controlled the flood, he saw that he was a talent worthy of blessing, so he gave up the position of leader Zen. However, later Yu passed the throne to his son Xia, changed the "Zen concession system" to "hereditary system", and the Xia Dynasty was established. When Ji Shaokang ascended the throne, he made Shu zi Wuyu a prince and sent him to Huiji (present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang) to preside over the sacrifice of the Temple of The Emperor Of Yu," also known as "Yu Yue", which was the ancestor of the Yue kingdom, and the Yue kingdom was about the area centered on today's Shaoxing, Zhejiang.
Thanks to the unique terroir and profound humanities, the whole Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, yue was a relatively powerful country. During the reign of Gou Jian's father, King Yunchang of Yue, the neighboring state of Wu rose, and the two countries began a long-lasting hatred and protracted war between the two countries. In 496 BC, king Lu of Wu led an army to attack Yue, seriously injured and defeated, and when he was dying, he asked his son Fu Cha to avenge him. So Fu Cha diligently managed the army, and two years later he was defeated and deceived, and Gou Jian listened to the words of Wen Zhong and Fan Li, bowed down to his subjects, and voluntarily became slaves. Gou Jian was a slave in Wu for three years, and finally Shi Meiren planned to sacrifice the beauty Xi Shi to confuse Fu Cha, and Fu Qiao was careless, and Gou Jian was able to return to China.
After Gou Jian returned to China, in order not to forget the humiliation, he spent ten years lying down and trying to get bold; in order to take revenge as soon as possible, he worked hard day and night. Finally, in 478 BC, when the second attack on the state of Wu was successful, the state of Wu was successfully destroyed. After the fall of the State of Wu, the State of Yue did not stop the pace of expanding its territory and chose to attack the hinterland of the Central Plains. However, the subsequent generations of Yue kings no longer had the same ability and perseverance as Gou Jian, nor did they have humeral ministers like Wen Zhong and Fan Li, who had ambitions and ambitions. The Yue Kingdom was not able to enter the Central Plains, and its national strength became much worse than before.
In 306 BC, when the then King wu of Yue led an army to attack the state of Qi in the north, Tian Qi, the king of Qi Wei, took the initiative to show weakness, and pretended to unite to cross and attack the state of Chu, but it was not known that the state of Qi wanted to let the Yue sheep enter the tiger's mouth. Because the State of Chu had already been eyeing the Yue Kingdom, and even in order to annex the Yue Kingdom, it had installed spies in the Yue Kingdom for five years in order to know oneself and know the other. Now that the State of Chu was already well aware of the State of Yue, at this time the State of Yue attacked Chu could be described as the middle of the Chu State, and the end was naturally a big defeat, and Wujiang was killed. And because Wujiang had not yet had time to elect a successor monarch, his sons divided the land of Yue guo and established themselves as kings, and yue guo fell apart overnight.
Although Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, abolished the Yue King's name, and set it as Minzhong County, the Yue Kingdom ceased to exist, but the Yue King still had heirs to continue the bloodline. There were no descendants of King Yue, and during the reign of Qin II, he successively served as a guest under Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. Nothing helps
After Liu Bang ascended the throne as emperor and established the Han Dynasty, He was made the King of Minyue by Liu Bang and given Minzhong a fief. Later, Wuzhu also learned from the kings of the Central Plains and established the capital city "Yecheng" at the foot of the Yeshan Mountains in present-day Fujian Province, and the State of Minyue became one of the most powerful countries in the southeast region, and the abbreviation of Fujian Province was derived from this. In 110 BC, the Minyue state attempted to gain independence from the Han Dynasty and was completely destroyed by Emperor Wu.
