Shang Shu Mu Oath": Wang said:"Don't despise my friends and the people of Yong, Shu, Qiang, Shang, Wei, Lu, Peng, and Pu. The second call is to do it, set up a private spear, and swear an oath. "
The earliest record of Yongguo in Chinese history comes from the Book of Shang - Pastoral Oath. Two years before King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang, he allied with 800 princes in the world at Mangdang Mountain, but gave up because the time was not ripe. Two years later, King Wu of Zhou formally organized an army to defeat the Shang Dynasty, and with the help of the princes, successfully destroyed the Shang Dynasty.
Before King Wu of Zhou set out on the expedition, he swore an oath with the princes:"Yes! Officials of Situ, Sima, Sikong, Yache, Shi, and other friendly nations, commanders of thousands, centurions, and people of Yong, Shu, Qiang, Ji, Wei, Lu, Peng, Pu, and other friendly nations, lift up your throats, and erect your shields and spears, and let us take an oath.
The Shepherd's Oath.
Yongguo is"Pastoral vows"The head of the Eight Kingdoms and the most powerful vassal state of the Eight Kingdoms, its geographical location is debatable.
According to the existing ancient records, the scope of the ancient Yongguo roughly includes: present-day Chongqing City + southern Shaanxi + most of Hubei, central and western Hubei + northwest Hunan, with a total area of more than 200,000 square kilometers, almost equivalent to the area of today's province. You must know that Yongguo existed in the Shang and Zhou dynasties in the early Spring and Autumn Period, and the Chu State at that time was not yet Yongguo.
The specific addresses of Yongguo include Wanzhou District, Liangping County, Fengjie County, Yunyang County, Wanxian City and Kai County in Chongqing City, Ankang City, Hanzhong City and Shangluo City in Shaanxi Province, Zhushan County, Zhuxi County, Yunxi County and Fang County in Hubei Province, Jingzhou District, Jingmen City, Yichang City and Enshi City in Jingzhou City, and some towns and towns in Yichang City, Zhangjiajie City and Jishou City in Hunan Province.

Yongguo position. The capital of Yongguo is in the southwest of Zhushan County, Hubei Province, and the ruins of Yongguo Fangcheng have a history of more than 3,000 years, and are still preserved in the area of Wenfeng City Village, Zhushan County.
At the junction of Hubei and Shaanxi provinces, leading to Citongguan in Xunyang County, Shaanxi Province, and Eping Town in Zhuxi County, there is a section of the Great Wall that is 180 kilometers long, where the Guyong people established the Guanya Ancient Great Wall District. The ancient Great Wall of Guanya has a history of 2,700 years, and when the Yongguo Kingdom fell, it became the border of Qin and Chu, so there is an allusion to Qin and Muchu.
In ancient times, there were many celebrities related to Yongguo, such as Danzhu, the son of Emperor Yao, who was once sealed in Fangyi (now Fang County, ** City, Hubei Province), known as Fang's male; The five-colored stone in the mythical story of Nuwa mending the sky is said to have originated from Nuwa Mountain in Yongguo (now Pingli County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province).

The title of the monarch of Yongguo is Bo, second only to Hou, ranking third among the fifth-class titles, higher than the viscount in the early years of the Chu State; The title of the monarch of Qin was earl, and the title of Yong was equivalent to that of Qin and higher than that of Chu.
The Yongguo State was located between the three kingdoms of Qin, Chu, and Bao, in the upper reaches of the Han River, near Danyang (present-day Xichuan, Henan), the oldest fiefdom of the Chu people, and its rulers were likely descendants of the Yongcheng clan.
The Rongcheng clan is an ancient clan in ancient times, once a vassal of the Yellow Emperor, who is said to have invented the calendar and became a hereditary clan. During the Shang Dynasty, the Rongcheng clan was powerful and was forcibly relocated by the Shang Dynasty to the Xiong'er Mountain area (now Lushi County, Henan Province) in the eastern remnants of the Qinling Mountains, but the clan was still restless, and in order to avoid the Shang Dynasty's conquest, it crossed the Qinling Mountains and came to Ankang, Shaanxi, and expanded southward, finally reaching its heyday.

Rong Cheng's. Rong Tongrong, Rongcheng is also known as Rongcheng, Henan Lushi County has Rongshui, Rongcheng is Rongcheng, Rongcheng is Rong, and the name is Shangrong after moving the capital to Fangcheng, also known as Fangcheng, and the country name is Rongguo.
There is also a theory that the Shang king destroyed the Rongcheng clan and made its inhabitants slaves, Yong means slave in ancient times, and some of them established a state in Shangyong, also called Yongguo.
Yongguo thus angered the Shang Dynasty, and when King Wu of Zhou suppressed the Shang Dynasty, Yongguo, as the head of the Eight Kingdoms of Muye, immediately led the southern barbarians to participate in the destruction of Shang. As a result of assisting King Wu of Zhou in destroying Shang, Yongguo prospered as the leader of the Zhou Dynasty and became an important ** of the Zhou royal family, and was named an earl.
The prosperity of the Yong State was in the early years of the Zhou Dynasty, and with the fall and strength of the Shang Dynasty, the countries opposite the Qinba Mountains, the frontiers of the Northern Zhou and Western Zhou, the Southern Barbarians and the Dongyi, the Ba people in the Western Regions, and even the Baipu tribes in the south of the Jianghan Plain also submitted to the Yong Kingdom, so the question is, how to make the Yong Kingdom disappear if it is so powerful?
The vassal states of the early Spring and Autumn period.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Yongguo was connected to Qin in the north, Ba in the west, and Chu in the southeast, because these four countries were geographically close to each other, wars often spread, especially Chu and Yong were mortal enemies, the earliest were in Danyang, the capital of Chu State, in Xichuan, Henan Province, and Fangcheng, the capital of Yong State, very close, and later Chu State developed the Eastern Han Plain, Yong State captured the territory of Jianghan and Han, and the two countries had the opportunity to attack each other and destroy each other.
In 611 BC (the third year of King Zhuang of Chu), there was a famine in the state of Chu. In 611 BC (the third year of King Zhuang of Chu), there was a famine in the state of Chu, and the state of Yong took the opportunity to gather with herdsmen, the Baipu tribe and other vassal states in what is now Zhijiang, Hubei, and then attacked the state of Chu, which was preparing to move its capital. In short, Ban Jieyu gave up moving the capital, allied with Qin and Ba, and insidiously attacked the capital of Yong while Chu was preparing to welcome the arrival and encirclement of Wei Rui and Zhao.
In the end, the combined forces of Qin, Chu, and Ba broke through the capital of Yongguo. After the fall of Yongguo, the vassal states under Yongguo fled one after another, and the three kingdoms of Qin, Chu and Ba jointly divided the land and people of Yongguo.
Destroy the courage and reputation of the state of Chu.
After the fall of the Yong Kingdom, some of the Yong people fled to the Enshi Mountains of present-day Hubei, some fled to the Shu and Longhui regions, and some fled to the northwest of Hunan.
Today, there are still many place names related to the Yong people, such as Dayong County in Hunan Province and Dayong River, Dayong Ping, Dayong Suo, Dayong Ancient City, Yongzhou, Dayongkou, Yongshui and other place names, many Yong descendants migrated to the border mountainous areas of Hubei, Hunan, Shaanxi, Shaanxi, Chongqing and other provinces and cities, and integrated with the local ethnic groups.
