There are really too many vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period, too chaotic, that's right!
In the entire history of China, the last 5,000 years, from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the fall of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it has a history of nearly 800 years, including more than 500 years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was three days to form an alliance and two days to fight. There are many vassal states that are still there today and will be destroyed tomorrow, and there are also many vassal states that are not there today and will be formed tomorrow.
Today, I will briefly understand the history of the main vassal states in the early Spring and Autumn Period.
The Spring and Autumn Period was actually the prelude to the eastward migration from King Ping and the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It is recorded in the "Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms" that Confucius reached more than 70 vassal states when he traveled around the world, so there must be at least more than 70 countries at this stage, but in fact, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period mainly focused on the history of the twelve vassal states.
Map of the twelve vassal states of the Spring and Autumn Period.
They are Lu, Qi, Jin, Qin, Chu, Song, Wei, Zheng, Chen, Cai, Wu, Cao, Yan and other 12 vassal states (as for why there are thirteen princes, there are mainly three versions of Shu Qin, Shu Lu, and Shu Wu, because the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is mainly based on the history of the State of Lu (the three biography of the Spring and Autumn Period) and the records of Qin, so it may be Shu Lu or Qin, in addition, the Wu State era appeared later, and it is also possible that Shu Wu). Eight of these thirteen princes were surnamed Ji.
The so-called Ji surname Eight Kingdoms:
After being promoted to the martial prince Tang Shuyu; Wei was the younger brother of King Wu, after Uncle Kang was sealed; Cai is the younger brother of King Wu;
Cao Wei was after King Wu's younger uncle Zhenduo; Zheng Weili after Prince Li's friends; Yan is after the martial king's younger brother Ji Zheng; After Wu was the prince of Zhou, Zhongyong, King Zhou was the grandfather of King Wen and the founder of the Zhou Dynasty.
The rest are the five kingdoms with different surnames: Chu, Qin, Qi, Song, and Chen;
After King Wu conquered, he actually did not completely destroy Shang, and many areas that originally belonged to Shang did not belong to King Wu. After the death of King Wu, the young King Cheng succeeded to the throne, and Wu Geng, the son of King Wu, took advantage of the chaos to rebel, because King Wu's younger brothers Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai were jealous of Duke Zhou's power, so they spread rumors that Duke Zhou wanted to usurp power, and Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai also rebelled.
Fortunately, Zhou Gong was more capable, so he wiped them all out!
After the Zhou Rebellion, he first returned the power to the already grown up King Cheng, which is known as the return of Zhou Gong to power; Second, he began to divide the heroes who participated in the suppression of the rebellion, and gave them territories and country titles. That is to say, from the time of King Zhou Cheng, in order to reward meritorious heroes, King Zhou Cheng began to divide the territory, and there were only vassal states. Lu is the son of King Wu's younger brother Zhou Gong;
