During the Warring States Period, Yong, Chen, Heng, Tan, Yue, E, Jiang, Hong and Rao were in the southeast and belonged to Chu. Yuan, Ji, Qian, Fu, Yu, Xuan, Yue, etc. also crossed the western border. At least from Gou Jian's hegemony to the Warring States period, Yue ruled most of Jiangxi. In the thirty-sixth year of King Xian of Zhou (333 BC), Chu Weiwang defeated Yue State and killed Wu Qiang, King of Yue.
When he said that he was defeated, he was unable to do so, so he led Wu into Zhejiang and north to Xuzhou. The more dispersed the clans are, the more they struggle for power and profit. No matter whether they are kings or kings, they will stand by and watch the sea in the south of the Yangtze River and serve the Chu Dynasty. In the past, most theorists thought that Yue State was doomed from now on, but this was actually a misunderstanding. In fact, at that time, Chu only "took all the land to Zhejiang" and did not perish and cross the country.
The vast area east of Zhejiang is still under Yue's control. At this time, the territory of the State of Yue has shrunk to the east of Qiantang River. In the twenty-fifth year of Qin Shihuang (222 BC), the king of Yue surrendered to Qin, and Qin established Huiji County in the old place of Yue, and Yue perished.
The social system of Yue State:
Yue did not establish the political concept of courtesy, justice, honesty and shame, and filial piety to his parents, so that the tragedy of the father killing his son and the son destroying his father occurred frequently. While China's original country was constantly carrying out political reforms to enhance its strength, Yue never experienced political reforms and remained in the past system.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the social relief system in Yue was that women had to report to the government when they were about to give birth, and the government sent doctors to guard them. The reward for having a boy is two pots of wine and a dog, and the reward for having a girl is two pots of wine and a pig. After giving birth to three children, the government sent them to nurse.
