The State of Shui, founded at the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, has "Yu, Yu, Jiao, Slippery ... According to the record of the surname Of Ji (都姬), the kingdom of Chu was an earl, and the first title of the king could not be examined, and its geographical location was also more complicated. There are three main theories: Huaxian said, that is, according to the territory of The City of Huatai, the Tang Dynasty "Yuan Hezhi" said: "The Huaxian clan is a fortress, and the descendants increase it as a city, and there is a platform along the river, so it is called the City of Huatai." "However, Huaxian County was Weiguo Caoyi in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the name of Huatai City became famous later, and there is no record in the ancient books before the two Han Dynasties, so it is difficult to trace the source, so its credibility index is low, and Huaxian City may be related to the migration of slippery people after the fall of the country, and there are water skis in ancient times in its territory; Suixian said, "Later Han Shu Junguo Zhi" contains: "Xiangyi, there is a slippery pavilion." "Xiangyi, that is, Sui County." Western Jin Du pre-note: "Slip, Zhengdi, northwest of ChenLiu Xiangyi County." "Zuo Chuan Zhuang Gong Three Years" said: "Gong is inferior to slip, will be Zheng Bo." In 691 BC, when Lu Jun went to meet Zheng Bo, he stayed in the state of Shui, and Yan Shi said that the country of Shui moved to Fei in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, also known as Fei Shui. Du Qian's "Spring and Autumn Left Transmission of Justice" said: "The capital of the slippery country is also fei, and the county of Henan is also." "缑氏县, in present-day Yanshi City, Henan. In present-day Huachenghe Village, Fudian Town, Yanshi City, Henan Province, there are ruins of the ancient city of Huacheng in the Spring and Autumn Period. Summary of this article: The Western Zhou Dynasty was at least 691 BC in the northwest of Sui County, Henan, and southwest of Minquan County, sandwiched between Song and Zheng. Later, it was suppressed by the Song State, Chen Guo and other foreign countries to move to the yanshi city west of the Zheng state, Fudian town, and the westward migration of the state was likely to be a resource war between the Zheng state and the Song state. After being rebuilt with the support of Zheng Guo, the State of Shui became a vassal state of the State of Zheng, and followed Zheng Guo in participating in the alliance of You (one said Henan Lankao, the other said Shandong Chengwu) initiated by the Duke of Qi Huan in 678 BC.
Slippery, that is, bone, the ancient pronunciation is consistent, for the sound of "bone". The word "slippery" from water to bone may be related to bone-bearing artifacts created by primitive humans. Bone products have obvious advantages over stoneware, wood, bamboo and so on, hard, easy to grind, anti-corrosion, smooth and lightweight. And more importantly, the surface of the bone is coated with grease, making it more flexible and sharp, and the work efficiency is greatly improved, which is sought after by the people at that time, which is also the origin of the modern meaning of the word "slippery" and "smooth". Therefore, the original meaning of the word "slippery" is taken as a noun, that is, a bone organ coated with grease, and then extended to: profit. The origin of the Shui people is unknown, but it appeared earlier, and there are also records of water skiing and slippery fish in ancient books, such as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Classic of the North Mountain": "Two hundred and fifty miles to the north, it is known as the mountain of Qiuru, on which there is more jade and no grass and trees." Water skiing out... Slippery fish. "It is said that the water ski originates from The Mountain (to be examined), and there are many slippery fish in the waterslide. This waterslide basin was the earliest inhabited place for skaters who were good at making sliders.
With the decline of zhengguo, the loyalty of the state of Shui to zheng began to waver, which caused Zheng guo to be dissatisfied. The "Twenty-four Years of zuo chuan and gong" says: "Zheng Zhi entered the slippery, and the slippery people obeyed the orders." The division is also the guard. Zheng Gongzishi and Yu Mi Shuai shi hua slip. "Four years ago, Zheng Guo had invaded the Country of Slip by the state of Shui, and the kingdom of Shui surrendered. However, in 636 BC, the State of Shui officially turned its back on the State of Zheng and defected to the State of Wei, and the State of Zheng sent gongzi shi and Yu Mi Shuai to fight. Later, King Xiang of Zhou came forward to ask for the state of Shui, but was unsuccessful, resulting in another battle between the Zhou royal family and the Zheng state after the seventy years of the Battle of Qiange (繻葛, in present-day north of Changge, Henan). However, this time, Zhou Xianggong learned the lesson of King Huan of Zhou and did not dare to fight alone, but instigated the Di people to attack Zheng Guo que land (present-day Yu Prefecture, Henan) by the hands of the Di people, forcing Zheng Guo to abandon the use of troops against the state of Shui.
The final demise of the Kingdom of Slippery was a rather comical finale in the Mid-Spring and Autumn Period of the Qin-Jin Struggle for Hegemony. "Zuo Chuan , Thirty-three Years of the Duke of Qi" reads: "The Qin people slipped into the slippery. In 627 BC, the then overlord of the Central Plains, Duke Wen of Jin, died of his ear, and Qin Mugong, who had been fighting with the Jin state for hegemony for many years without any success, felt that the time had come, so he sent three members of Meng Xibai (Meng Mingshi, Xi Qishu, and Bai Yibing) ai to lead his troops east to attack Zheng Guo by way of King Qi of Zhou to demonstrate to the Central Plains. Unexpectedly, the army marched to the vicinity of the Slippery State (Yanshi City, Henan) and was fooled by Zheng Guo's merchant Xiang Gao, and the Qin army thought that Zheng Guo had a defense and did not dare to rush forward again. However, the so-called thieves did not go empty, and on the way back to China, they took the sheep and destroyed zheng guo's vassal state, The Slippery State, and abducted a large number of property and population, and the poor Slippery State was inexplicably destroyed. The funny ending of the slippery country does not live up to the name of the country. Although the State of Qin destroyed the State of Shui, the State of Qin was unable to control it, and eventually slipped into the territory of the State of Jin.
