: [Spring and Autumn] Central Plains overlord
Chu Zhuangwang (? -59 1 years ago), also known as King Jingzhuang and Xiong, was a famous traveler.
In 6 14 BC, Ying Du, son of King Chu Mu, succeeded to the throne (in the south of Jinan in Jiangling). During the Spring and Autumn Period, the five countries successively dominated the Central Plains, known as the "five tyrants" in history. Among the "five tyrants", Chu has the largest territory, the largest population, the richest products and the most prosperous culture.
Chu Zhuangwang's rule over the Central Plains not only made Chu State powerful and famous, but also played a great role in the unification of China and the formation of national spirit.
In 59 1 year BC, Chu Zhuangwang died of illness and was buried in the suburb of Jinan. There are tombs of Chu King and Fan Fei in the northwest of Jiangling today.
In 6 1 1 year BC, the kingdom of Yong was conquered. In 606 BC, King Zhuang conquered the Rong of Luhun (now Yichuan, Henan) and became king in the suburbs of Zhou to show his intention of swallowing Zhou. Then he broke the news about Chen. The Jin army sent troops to save Zheng, and the two armies fought in Zhai (now north of Zhengzhou, Henan), and the Jin army was defeated. Since then, Lu, Zheng, Chen, Song and other countries in the Central Plains have successively joined Chu and dominated the Central Plains.
The year of his birth is not clear in history, so I don't know how old she was when she was king.
