The history of the state of Qi is like a magnificent picture, showing the cycle of prosperity and decline, recording many heroic generals and wise rulers, but also reflecting the situation of internal and external difficulties.
First of all, Taigong Jiang Shang, as the founder of the Qi State, made immortal achievements in the Qi State for his outstanding performance during the reign of King Wu of Zhou. He helped King Wu of Zhou defeat Shang in the Battle of Muye, founded the Zhou Dynasty, and was sealed in Qi, becoming the founding monarch of Qi. Taigong's art of war and intelligence were praised by later generations as the originator of the military family, the martial saint, and the master of the hundred schools, which laid a solid foundation for the origin of the Qi State.
However, in the long course of history, the state of Qi has also experienced a cycle of prosperity and decline. With the assistance of Guan Zhong, Bao Shuya and others, Duke Qi Huan carried out reforms, making the Qi State strong for a while. However, in his later years, Duke Huan of Qi led to civil strife due to the appointment of villains, and this turmoil caused by internal problems became a major pain point in the rise and fall of the Qi State.
The reign of the Tian clan was also an important chapter in the history of the Qi state. Tian He established himself as the monarch of Qi and exiled Qi Kanggong to the sea, marking the beginning of the period of "Tian Dynasty Qi". During the reigns of King Qi Wei and King Xuan of Qi, the strength of Qi gradually increased, and he successfully captured the capital of Yan and almost destroyed the Yan State. However, during the reign of Qi, he suffered the bad luck of destroying the country, and was led by the Yan general Le Yi to break through the Qi capital, and the Qi state almost perished, which was a huge setback in the history of the Qi state.
The glory of the state of Qi came not only from the outstanding rulers, but also from the many brave generals. During the reign of King Xiang of Qi, the general Tian Dan used the "Fire Ox Array" to break the Yan army, and made great achievements for the enhancement of the national strength of the Qi State. However, during the reign of King Qi of Qi, the Qin general Wang Ben attacked Qi south after destroying Yan, which eventually led to the demise of Qi and ended the rise and fall of Qi in 824 years.
Overall, the history of the State of Qi is full of magnificent stories, from the foundation of the Taigong Jiang Shang, to the reform of the Duke of Qi Huan, to the rise and fall of the Tian period, each piece of history tells the glory of the State of Qi and the inevitable downfall. This period of history has witnessed the cycle of the rise and fall of a country, and at the same time provided valuable historical lessons for future generations.
