Ancient Xuzhou, one of the nine continents during Dayu's flood control period, is located on the coast of the Yellow Sea, east of Yuzhou, south of Qingzhou and north of Yangzhou.
Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for military strategists, the only way for the north and the south, and the thoroughfare of five provinces. Of course, it seems that there are only four provinces now, and the five provinces mentioned should actually include the statement that Xuzhou is a local province.
The places under the jurisdiction of ancient Xuzhou were Xuzhou, Huaiyin, Lianyungang and Yancheng in Jiangsu, Zaozhuang, Linyi and Jining in Shandong, Suzhou, Bozhou and Huaibei in Anhui and Shangqiu in Henan.
"Lu Chunqiu" said: In Sishang, Xuzhou and Luye, the founding monarch of Lu was his eldest son Boqin, not his younger brother. Therefore, Xuzhou is not only a place of war, but also the origin of China culture.
Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, Zhuangzi and Mozi were all from ancient Xuzhou or Great Xuzhou.
The land of military strategists we are talking about was first put forward as the birthplace of Chinese culture in history. Xuzhou, the source of China's cultural civilization, probably originated from the constant mergers and battles in the Central Plains. Cultural people have never had the opportunity to engage in academic research, and people in other places have also used their intelligence and knowledge in political struggles and war competitions between countries. The major wars in the pre-Qin period occurred in the west of Xuzhou. The barbarian land in Xia and Shang Dynasties became extremely rich because of the management of the descendants of the Duke of Zhou, which provided fertile soil for the later cultural germination. The dominance of a single family makes wars relatively rare, and Xuzhou, where wars are few and comfortable, is also the reason why Peng Zu, a native of Xuzhou, can live to be 800 years old.
Xuzhou is a battleground for military strategists, mainly because after the expansion of the central government to the south, the central government before Qin basically fought for the Central Plains, and the area south of Xuzhou was relatively comfortable. After the Han Dynasty, the expansion of the Central Plains government of the Han nationality in the south and the east had to go through Xuzhou. Xuzhou, as one of the ancient Kyushu, lived from generation to generation between Pei Gong Liu Bang and Suqian overlord Xiang Yu. As a result, the historical process of Xuzhou has undergone major changes, from advocating literature to advocating martial arts.
Before that, there was no major war with Xuzhou. The three major wars in the early stage of Lu were with Qi in the north, but the Chu State, which eventually destroyed Lu, did not have any noticeable wars with Lu, so it was a bit logical to be annexed by Chu State.
It can be seen that Lu people are good at governing the country and not good at using soldiers. As the embryonic form of ancient Xuzhou, Lu and Song were not good at fighting, and they were all destroyed in the end. Although Lu and Qi have won three wars, since Qi became powerful, Lu has basically regarded himself as Qi's kannika nimtragol, so there is nothing to argue about, and it is more often used as a buffer between Qi and Chu.
This is also the reason why Kong has been asking countries to abide by the rules. But we can't argue. It's just that history has never been debated. The stupidity of Confucian ancestors can be seen. It is harmful to others to practice your tongue without strong muscles.
Since Liu Bang, a native of Xuzhou, became emperor, the good days of Xuzhou people are gone forever. He gave his lair to his closest, most obedient, smartest and most talented brother Liu Jiao, and made him the king of Chu in Pengcheng. At this time, Xuzhou was called Pengcheng.
In the twenty-four years of Liu Jiao's reign, the cultural characteristics of Pengcheng have been greatly reflected.
Only these twenty or thirty years.
When Liu Jiao's grandson, E, arrived, E and the prince of Wu conspired to rebel. As a result, Zhou Yafu led the troops and defeated him. From then on, the king of Chu, like the prisoners of all walks of life, was only a nominal king, eating only Lu Feng, which was actually no different from the counties.
In fact, from Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty to Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, Xuzhou was just a passage to the barbarian land of Wu.
The Han regime, which defeated the Seven Empresses, began to govern Emperor Wu. At that time, the importance of Pengcheng as the traffic artery in the south was also reflected. Since then, the name of a battleground for military strategists has been lost to Xuzhou, and Xuzhou has since left the hat of the hometown of culture in the * * *, standing wholeheartedly as a place of martial arts in the history of China. It seems that the good days of Xuzhou people stop here, and the horseshoe armor from south to north runs through the whole Xuzhou Han Dynasty.
According to statistics, by the end of Hai Huai War, Xuzhou had experienced more than 400 wars, with an average of once every ten years, especially after the Han Dynasty.
As a land of wealth, Xuzhou gradually became a land of war, and its economy plummeted. Throughout the feudal era, the peasant uprising in Xuzhou became a major feature of Xuzhou, which produced many emperors, and the emperors became the local products of Xuzhou.
Some people say that during the whole feudal period, China spent more than half his time under the rule of an emperor born in Xuzhou.
Liu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin in the Song Dynasty and Zhu in the Ming Dynasty all came from Xuzhou.
Generally speaking, the emperors in Xuzhou were all born in the devil incarnate, the foundation of the poor, the extremely rebellious dissidents, and the characters who changed the dynasty.
As a strategic location, Xuzhou's traffic has also become extremely developed under the influence of a steady stream of romantic figures in previous dynasties. It is necessary to have traffic with horses and chariots in the war.
More importantly, the east of Xuzhou is the Yimeng Mountain area and the muddy land in northern Jiangsu, the west of Xuzhou is at the foot of Dabie Mountain with an altitude drop of 400 meters, the west is the towering Qinling Mountains, and the north and south are a road, only the north and south pass through Xuzhou.
Xuzhou has developed land and water transportation since ancient times, so the Yellow River runs through it, and modern railways and highways crisscross and control the world.
It is the rutted horse manure in the wars of past dynasties that makes Xuzhou so simple and heavy.
Now Xuzhou has probably always had this desire for Xuzhou people. It stands to reason that the jurisdiction of a place should be more clearly divided geographically, and Xuzhou seems to be an exception. After the founding of New China, Xuzhou was once assigned to Shandong and later became a special area of Jiangsu. The jurisdiction includes Xuzhou area and now Lianyungang, that is, the original new Hailian city, and most of Huaiyin, as well as a considerable part of Suzhou, Anhui. In addition, several counties in Tengzhou City, Shandong Province have also been classified.
The basic scope still corresponds to Xuzhou in history, but I don't know why, after some tossing in July 7788, Xuzhou's head is not a head, and its face is not a face. It was torn into eight rows, which made a well-kept Xuzhou look like this. It looks like Jiangsu's short tail.
This is also an important reason why Xuzhou people have always wanted to build a Huaihai province.
