Ying, an ancient place name. The capital of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Chu people have the habit of naming the capital after Ying.

Extended data Chu (1 1 15- 223 BC) was a vassal state in the Yangtze River valley in the pre-Qin period, with Mi and Xiong as its monarch. During the period of Zhou Chengwang, Xiong Yi, the leader of the Chu people, was made a viscount and established the State of Chu.
Chu began to rise in Zhou Wen and Wuzhi, and Jianghan was elected, which is known as "great enlightenment and male chauvinism" in history. In 704 BC, Xiong Tong usurped the throne of Chu Wuwang. When Chu became king, under the rule of Ling Wenzi, Chu became stronger. Now, Yu, Sun Shuai and other sages were ordered to win the Central Plains, and the Battle of Tai defeated the State of Jin for hegemony, thus creating the most prosperous era of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period.
During the Warring States Period, King Ai of Chu appointed Wuqi to reform, and at that time, the soldiers were strong in Ma Zhuang, showing their dominance. ? During the period of Chu Xuanwang and Chu Weiwang, the territory started from Daba Mountain, Wushan Mountain and Wuling Mountain in the west, to the sea in the east, to Nanling Mountain in the south, and to central Henan, northern Anhui, Jiangsu, southeastern Shaanxi and southwestern Shandong in the north, with a vast territory. Chu has now entered its heyday.
During the reign of Chu Huaiwang, the State of Yue was destroyed, but due to the improper employment of Wang Huai and the fraud of Zhang Yi in Qin Dynasty, the State of Yue gradually declined. In the first 223 years, Qin Jun attacked Shouchun, the capital of Chu, and Chu perished.
In the first 209 years, Xiang Liang, the general of Chu and Han Dynasties, established Xiong Xin, the grandson of Chu Huaiwang, as the new Chu Huaiwang in Xuecheng, and re-established the State of Chu. Later, Xiang Yu established himself as the overlord of the place of Chu, and sent someone to assassinate Chu Huaiwang Xiong Xin. Xiang Yu committed suicide in the Chu-Han War, and Liu Bang founded the Han Dynasty.
Ling Yin has been "holding the handle of a country" since Chu established the post of Ling Yin in the Spring and Autumn Period. "In the upper position, we must lead the people." From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, Ling Yin was in charge of state affairs and war at home. Its power is enduring. During the Warring States period, the son of Chu was in power and gradually declined, while the clan rule with Zhao, Qu and Jing as the main body developed. During the Warring States Period, the State of Chu formed a ruling group with Zhao, Qu and Jing as the main bodies.
In the pre-Qin literature, officials in charge of various workers were called Yong, while in the Ming Dynasty, they were called "ministers" or "secretaries". Since the Spring and Autumn Period, many countries in the Central Plains have called Gong Zheng, while Chu has called Gong Yin (or Dagong Yin). During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the official handicraft industry in Chu was very developed. It was managed by the central dynasty, and all the workers were managed by Gong Yin.
