Kyushu refers to Jizhou (Hebei, Shanxi and Liaoning), Yizhou (the junction of Hebei, Henan and Shandong), Qingzhou (a part of Shandong and Liaoning), Xuzhou (southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu), Yangzhou (south of Huaihe River and southeast of the sea), Jingzhou (southern Hubei, Guizhou and Guangxi) and Yuzhou (northern Henan and Hubei).
In the fifteenth year of King Zhao of Qin, the State of Qin surrounded Handan, the capital of Zhao, and Zhao sent Chu for help and volunteered to follow. Knowing that he was interested, the king of Chu agreed to save Zhao. Ping Yuanjun praised: "Mr. Mao's arrival in Chu made Zhao more important than Jiuding Road." See Biography of Historical Records and Ping Yuanjun. Jiuding Road is a treasure of ancient countries. Later, because people believe that a word can produce great power.
Kyushu is the name of China, which is well known. However, few people can describe the origins of Kyushu and Jiuding.
According to the Spring and Autumn Annals, in early summer, Xia Dayu divided the world into Kyushu, made all the states in Kyushu offer bronze to cast Jiuding, engraved the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu in Jiuding's body, symbolizing that a state had a tripod, and concentrated Jiuding in the capital of Xia Dynasty. In this way, Kyushu became synonymous with China. Jiuding became a symbol of the supremacy of kingship and the unity and prosperity of the country.
Kyushu refers to Jizhou (Hebei, Shanxi and Liaoning), Yizhou (the junction of Hebei, Henan and Shandong), Qingzhou (a part of Shandong and Liaoning), Xuzhou (southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu), Yangzhou (south of Huaihe River and southeast of the sea), Jingzhou (southern Hubei, Guizhou and Guangxi) and Yuzhou (northern Henan and Hubei).
Jiuding is a masterpiece of China in the Bronze Age. Its casting technology marks the end of barbarism and the beginning of civilization in China history. Although there are many records about Jiuding in history, as early as two thousand years ago, it didn't know where it was hidden.
Mozi Geng Xu said, "Jiuding has been established and moved to the Three Kingdoms." The Three Kingdoms refers to Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, which means Jiuding was cast and spread in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. It can be inferred that Jiuding did exist in history.
In 606 BC, Chu Zhuangwang, one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period, became more and more powerful. He is ambitious and wants to take Zhou Wang's place. One day, Zhou Wang sent someone to hold a welcoming ceremony for him. At the ceremony, the King of Chu defied Zhou Wang and won the championship. When the Zhou Wang emissary who was about to greet him broke into a cold sweat, his ambition to destroy Zhou Wang was exposed. Since then, people have called it "winning the championship" for political power.
After many vicissitudes, Jiuding's whereabouts are unknown. In Sima Qian's Historical Records, it was recorded that King Qin Zhao was 52 years old. In 225 BC? After Zhou Nanwang's death, Qin Mugong plundered Jiuding from Luoyi, the capital of Zhou Dynasty, to the capital of Qin State.
However, Ban Gu, a historian in the Eastern Han Dynasty, opposed Sima Qian's statement. Ban Gu said in Hanshu that Zhou Xianwang was forty-two years? In 327 BC? Jiuding sank in Pengcheng? Xuzhou, Jiangsu today? In Surabaya, after Qin Shihuang ruled the country, he couldn't find Jiuding for a long time, and he always felt sorry. During his southern tour, he sent thousands of people to Surabaya for salvage, but found nothing.
Wang Xianqian, a historian in Qing Dynasty, made a long-term study on Jiuding's whereabouts and put forward new viewpoints. Wang Xianqian pointed out in Supplementary Notes to Hanshu that due to the decline of the royal family at the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the princes competed for hegemony, competing for the Central Plains, and Jiuding became the focus of competing for hegemony. In order to make peace, Zhou Wang had to destroy the tripod and cast money, but he said that he didn't know where to go abroad, lest the vassal states fight with each other and ask questions.
There is no doubt that Jiuding, as the treasure of the town house, did exist and has been circulated for more than two thousand years. However, whether Jiuding still exists and where it exists is still a mystery buried in the hearts of many people in China.
