King Xiong Lian of Chu King Xiong Lian of Chu, son of King Mu of Chu. He resided on the throne from 613 BC to 591 BC. Based on his predecessors, King Xiong Lian led Chu to become one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. King Zhuang of Chu's famous saying was, "If you don't fly for three years, your flight will reach the sky; if you don't sound for three years, your sound will be amazing." In the eighth year of his reign, King Zhuang took his troops to Luoyang to "observe the troops in the outskirts of Zhou" and "ask about the small, big and light weights of the king." In the sixteenth year of his reign, he created the "county" system, which was the model for the county system of Qin. King Zhuang employed the wise minister Sun Shu Ao in internal affairs, and made great efforts to develop the economy, advocated thrift and diligence, and reformed the military system, so that the state's strength and military power became more and more prosperous. Chu attacked Song twice, but Jin did not dare to send troops, and Song submitted to Chu. Lu, Zheng, and Chen bowed down one after another. King Zhuang finally accomplished his hegemony. In 591 B.C., King Zhuang of Chu died of illness and was buried in Baling Mountain, a suburb of Jinan. King Xiong Shang of Chu King Wei of Chu (reigned from 339 to 329 B.C.), with the surname of Mi, was originally named Xiong Shang and was the son of King Xuan of Chu. In the seventh year of his reign (333 B.C.), King Wei of Chu defeated King Wujiang of Yue, took all the land of Wu, and established Jinling Eup (Nanjing City) on Stone Mountain (present-day Qingliang Mountain) by the Yangtze River. In the Song Dynasty, there is a story about King Wei burying gold. King Wei of Chu felt that Nanjing was "kingly" and ordered to bury gold in Longwan (the riverside north of the present Lion Rock). In the seventh year of King Wei's reign (333 BC), his army invaded Qi and fought with Qi's general Shen Shih in Surabaya, then besieged Xuzhou and defeated Shen Shih. He died in the 10th year of King Wei's reign and was succeeded by his son, King Huai of Chu. Qu Yuan (屈原) (339 BC-277 BC) was a world cultural celebrity and a poet of the State of Chu during the Warring States period.
Name Ping, character Yuan, also known as Zhengze, character Lingjun. He was born in Ying City to a noble family of the Qu surname. His father, Bo Yong, was a former Chu state official, a descendant of King Wu of Chu, Zixu. Qu Yuan had a good memory, familiar with the political situation, good at diplomacy, when King Huai of Chu was the left apostle was very trustworthy, but for the sycophants are not allowed. The king of Huai was so estranged from Qu Yuan that he dismissed him from his post as the left disciple. After Qin defeated Chu in Danyang and Lantian, Qu Yuan was ordered to make peace with Qi. After returning to Ying, he repeatedly remonstrated with King Huai, first urging him to kill Zhang Yi, and then urging him not to enter Qin. King Huai refused to do so, and was then taken prisoner by Qin. After King Hai Xiang became the king, Qu Yuan was the head of Sanlu, in charge of the education of the children of the public family. He was soon rebuked and banished to the south of the Yangtze River. He hated the political corruption of Chu and felt the loss of his country, so he could not help but die of grief and indignation, and threw himself into the Miluo River in Hunan in 277 BC. Qu Yuan was a learned man with a clean and honest mind, who resisted the "muddy" world and disobeyed the "skillful" customs. He was politically disillusioned, so he put his ideals, encounters, sorrows and aspirations into words, which turned into magnificent poems. His masterpieces include Li Sao, Nine Songs, Nine Chapters, and Heavenly Questions. On the basis of extracting the essence of folk songs and absorbing the nutrients of folk literature and art, he created a new form of poetry called "Sao Style". With his beautiful language and rich imagination, he incorporated myths and legends, and shaped distinctive images, which were full of positive romanticism and had a great influence on the later generations. Lu Xun praised him: "He was exiled by slander, and then he wrote Li Sao, which is an outstanding poem." According to legend, the Dragon Boat Festival came into being after the death of Qu Yuan, and in 1953, the World Peace Council decided to commemorate the world's four most famous cultural figures, with Qu Yuan as one of them.

Shen Baoxu replied, "If Zi can overthrow Chu, I will be able to revitalize it." In the 10th year of King Zhao of Chu (506 BC), the king of Wu used Wu Zixu's plan to break Chu and enter Ying. Shen Baoxu withdrew with King Zhao and moved to Suizhou. Afterwards, he invited himself to Qin and begged Duke Ai of Qin to send troops to save Chu. When he was not granted permission, he went without food for seven days and cried day and night at the Qin court. The Duke of Qin was touched by his request and finally agreed to send 500 troops to rescue Chu. Under the counterattack of the Qin and Chu armies, the Chu people drove away the Wu army and recovered Ying.
