Why are Chu people fierce and easy to make trouble?

The ancestors of Chu people came from Zhuan Xu Levin (son of Changyi), grandson of the Yellow Emperor. Wu Hui, the great-grandson of Zhuan Xu, is a fire official of Gao Xin's family. He is in charge of the sky fire and the earth fire, and can melt the world. The name of Di Ku is Zhu Rong. Zhu Rong Tribe is located in the south of Shangdu Chao Ge (now Xinzheng, Henan). The surname of the king of Chu is Xiong (Xinzheng was called "Xiong" in ancient times, and Xiong is said to be the title of the Yellow Emperor). The famous archaeologist said in "A Brief History of Bronze inscriptions in the Western Zhou Dynasty": "Hua, the place name, is in Mixian County, Henan Province (now Xinzheng). Huayi is in Xinzheng, with a bear market and Zhu Rong. Heavy Lebanon, Qiang is in Xinzheng. " The reason why the king of Chu was surnamed Xiong was probably because he was blocked in Huayang near the Zhu Rong market, and the market in Zhu Rong was also called the bear market. In ancient Chinese characters, the words "Hua" and "Mi" were written very similarly.

Lu Zhong, the son of Ng Wui (Zhu Rong), has six sons. The youngest son, named Ji Lian, is the ancestor of Chu. Due to the increasingly fierce struggle among tribes in the Central Plains, the descendants of Jilian were forced to move south in the Xia Dynasty or the early Shang Dynasty. The general migration route of Chu people is Xinzheng-Tongbaishan-Danyang-Jingshan.

After Ji moved south, it became vulgar again, so later Chinese people regarded it as "Chu people" and "Man Jing". After Ji Lian, Li Xiong, son of raccoon, served Zhou Wenwang. Xiong Yi, the great-grandson of Xiong Ji, was named Zi Chu by Zhou Chengwang (the monarch and viscount of Chu), and the State of Chu was founded.

Sima Qian, a historian of the Western Han Dynasty, recorded Xiong Yi, the leader of the Chu people in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty: "When he was king, he improved his civil and military skills, and then succeeded to the throne, while Xiong Yi was named a Chu person, a field of adopted daughters, surnamed Zhou, and lived in Danyang." "Chu lived in Danyang, and the prince of Wu moved to Ying". During the Chu Wuwang period, the capital of Chu moved from Danyang to Ying. According to the research of archaeologists Liu Yutang, Wang Hongxing and Gao Chongwen, the ancient "Danyang" is located at the intersection of Danshui and Xishui (now the flooded area of Danjiangkou Reservoir in Xichuan County, Henan Province), so it is named Danyang because it is located in the north of Danshui. Qian Mu, a master of Chinese studies, said in the Outline of National History: "Zhuan Xu originated in Chu, and it began in the Hanshui River Basin where Dan and Xishui entered the Hanshui River, which is called Danyang." Si Xia, Xiangyan Temple, Cangfang Town, Xichuan County, found the tomb of Geng, the prime minister of Chu, and a large number of tombs of nobles of Chu, which confirmed that Gu Danyang was located in Xichuan, Henan Province. Chu has a history of more than 800 years, of which the Danjiang River Basin, its capital, has a history of more than 300 years.

The main body of Chu people is Jilian tribe, and the descendants of Jilian tribe are the main families of Chu king and the public, among which Xiong family is the core. Some local Man Jing residents became part of the Chu people, but most of them were civilians. After the founding of Chu, there was a policy to attract large-scale investment immigrants from the Central Plains.

Chu people lived together with primitive peoples such as Pu and Miao in the middle and lower reaches of Hanshui River and the middle reaches of Yangtze River, and these peoples were gradually conquered by Chu people after the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Judging from the formation process of Chu people, the nature of Chu culture is not a separate system independent of Yanhuang culture system, but closely related to Central Plains culture. The inscriptions on Chu bamboo slips in the two-week period can represent the writing style of Chu State. Compared with the characters of Central Plains countries, Chu characters have different font shapes and strokes, but they do belong to the same writing system. Writing is the carrier of language, and we can understand the origin of Chu culture from one side.
