At first, the word Ba implied the primitive form of the snake, and the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, Hainai Nanjing" described: "The Ba snake eats elephants, and at the age of three it comes out of its bones......."It is a snake blue, yellow, red and black", with various forms, and gradually evolved into the image of a later dragon.
Pakistan first appeared in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Classic of the Sea": "There is Pakistan in the southwest. Tai Shi gave birth to salty birds, salted birds gave birth to multiplier centi, multiplied by centi, and took a picture after taking a picture of the beginning of the Ba people. Luo Mi pointed out in the "Road History: Postscript": "Fu Xi gives birth to salty birds;The salty bird is born by the centimeter, which is the water and soil, and the light is taken after birth;Later, according to the birth of Gu Xiang, he descended to Ba, and he was a Shengba person.
It can be inferred that the ancestors of the Ba people can be traced back to Fuxi.
As the ancestors of Chinese legend, the images of Fuxi and Nuwa are inherited from snakes. The record of "Fuxi's scaly body, Nuwa's snake body" is found in the "Anthology", which is the result of totemic evolution.
In the late Shang Dynasty, Ba was related to the battle of Muye, and was named the viscount princes, and in the ninth year of Zhaogong in the "Zuo Chuan", Zhan Huanbo said to the Jin people: "Ba, Pu, Chu, Deng, Wu Nantuye."
However, the history books record the surname of Baguo as the surname Ji, which is quite puzzling. As one of the allies in the Battle of Makino, there was only one viscount, and the surname Ji may have been added later. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Bachu fought frequently and was defeated many times, and the capital moved westward.
The formation of the Ba state can be traced back to the early Western Zhou Dynasty in the 11th century BC, when the ethnic group set out from Chenggu in Shaanxi Province, crossed Ankang, and returned to Badong and Yufu.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Bachu often fought at war, and the Bachu Kingdom was repeatedly defeated, and the capital moved westward.
At the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Ba was named one of the sub-kingdoms, a total of 71, Ba Shi is a clan surnamed Ji, is a viscount, so the name Ba Ziguo.
Pakistan has always maintained friendly relations with the Western Zhou royal family. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Ba State bordered Shu, Chu, Deng, Yong and other countries, Chu rose in the south, and Ba State began to be controlled by Chu State, and formed an alliance with Chu.
However, Pakistan was unwilling to be restrained, and although it recognized the status of Chu, it would oppose Chu whenever it had the opportunity. At the beginning of the Warring States period, under the pressure of Chu, the state of Ba moved south to the main stream of the Yangtze River, and established a new state in the Qingjiang River and the Sichuan Gorge.
In 316 BC, the Qin generals Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo launched a war and captured Ba and Shu, and the monarch was kidnapped to Xianyang, and Ba became Qin's Ba County, officially integrated into Qin's county system.
In 632 BC, in the third year of King Zhuang of Chu, Ba united with Chu to attack Shen, and later turned to attack Chu and occupied the border city of Chu.
In 676 BC, in the thirty-eighth year of King Wu of Chu, the state of Ba attacked the state of Chu and won the victory. In 611 BC, in the third year of King Zhuang of Chu, Ba State, Chu and Qin destroyed Yong State, but was forced by Chu State to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.
In the late Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States Period, the Ba State moved from the Han River to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, established five capitals, and began many wars with Shu. After the middle of the Warring States period, the state of Chu attacked Pakistan on a large scale, and Pakistan lost land frequently, and set up checkpoints such as the Guan, Yangguan and Chuguan.
