If you mention Yanguo to all readers, I believe that everyone's first impression is the word "mysterious". Why? As we all know, due to the incident of book burning, many precious historical materials from the Warring States period were missing! As a Yan country with a low photogenic rate, their historical data is even more scarce. Today we will talk about what kind of country the Yan Kingdom is.
Although this small country does not have a strong sense of historical existence, it is also counted
This small country is different from other countries in our ancient feudal tradition in terms of the relationship between men and women. Their pursuit of love is free and unrestrained, the heart is more open, not like some Central Plains countries in the boys chasing girls when very subtle, perhaps men and women have been together for a year and a half can not guess each other's intentions. This country, on the other hand, is more direct in expressing emotions: it gives people a sense of courage to pursue happiness and never be shy. Not to mention the ancient times of our country, even today our mainstream love is still popular "male chasing women", and in this country, a country that is still in ancient times is not lacking in many female chasing men.
Some men in this country are relatively lacking in pioneering spirit, and in layman's terms, they do not love "farming" and do not love farming. If you think about it, if a country does not vigorously develop agricultural production, then its economy, transportation, and other aspects will lag relatively behind that of developed countries. This is why in the final Warring States Melee, the Yan Congress was relatively passive militarily. Despite this, due to its remote geographical location, the Yan kingdom, which has a relatively slow development rate, still has enough room and time to grow, which is also one of the elements of their becoming the Seven Heroes of the Warring States.
When it comes to fine wine, the wine culture in this country is very developed! During the Shang Dynasty, the western Liaoning region of the country was rich in fine wine and was famous far and wide. Maybe it takes such a fine wine to match their brave and romantic love story. According to legend, merchants from some countries in the Central Plains came to the Yan kingdom from afar, paid a lot of money to buy their fine wine to drink, and brought it back to their own countries. It can be seen from this that Yanguo wine is indeed deep! Maybe drinking too much wine will make people sleepy and tired, and people will have no intention of fighting. So this corresponds to the previously mentioned underdeveloped level of agriculture and weak military strength in the country.
Such a small country has its own characteristics, and in the historical river of the Spring and Autumn Warring States, it is not a shooting star, but plays the role of a blocker. Yan is a chip in the duel of some major powers, and it is also a booster for the eventual unification of the Qin state. Due to its remote geographical location, Yan often encountered invasions and harassment from distant foreign tribes in history. Because the people's customs are unrestrained and brave, the Yan people have the courage to defend themselves and fight back, and the Yan people's resistance to foreign invasion has become a bright color in China's history. Today, the Yanzi has passed away, but Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei still have their legends: small countries have gone, and the culture has not faded!
