Introduction to eastern Europe

The State of Yue sealed the country of Dong Ou (also known as the country of Dong Yue), the country of East China Sea in the Western Han Dynasty, and the ancient country of Wang Bangguo, collectively referred to as the country of Dong Ou, for short. That is, today's Wenzhou, including Taizhou and Lishui, Zhejiang Province, is located in the urban area of Wenzhou (some Taizhou scholars suggested that Wenling was the capital city, which was later confirmed as the site of the ancient city of Xu Yanwang).

Guo Pu, a native of Jin Dynasty, recorded in Shan Hai Jing: "Ou is in Fujian Sea and Yulin County is Xi Ou". It can be seen that the reason why it is called Xi 'ou is compared with Dong 'ou in Fujian and Zhejiang. It is precisely because the meaning of Ou is to distinguish it from Dong Ou, to distinguish the Yue people who are commensurate with Ou, and to show where they live, so the words "East" and "West" are added before the title.

At the end of the Warring States period, there lived a Yue tribe in the Oujiang River valley, which was called Dong 'ou in history. At that time, there was also a Yue tribe in Gui Jiang and Xunxun [xún] Valley in Lingnan area. In order to distinguish it from the Yue people in Dong 'ou, people call it Xi 'ou or Xiyue.

The development of history

The sixth generation of Yue Wang Ou, a descendant of Yue Wang in southern Zhejiang in the Western Han Dynasty. After Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, Dongou was abolished. Although the name has been deleted, the jurisdiction is still controlled by Zhu An. His son, Ou Yao, was named King of the East China Sea by the Han Dynasty at the end of Qin Dynasty because he supported the Han Dynasty to destroy Xiang Yu. His country was called the East China Sea Kingdom. Because the capital is in the Oujiang River valley in Wenzhou, it is also called the Kingdom of East Ou.

During the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms in the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Ou Kingdom and the Seven Kingdoms were allies. Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was defeated by Qiu Zhou Yafu and General Dantu, and fled to Dong 'ou. After that, the envoy of the Han Dynasty lobbied Wang Ou of Dong 'ou, so Dong 'ou's younger brother Ou killed Liu Bi while he was working. After the East Ou Wang Ou was renamed as "Pengze Wang", and the Yi Bird General Ou was named "Pingdu Wang".

After Liu Bi's son fled to neighboring Fujian and Yue countries (the capital of Dongye, now Fuzhou, Fujian), he instigated King Min Yue to attack Dongou. King Dong 'ou asked the Han Dynasty for help. As soon as the Han army arrived, Fujian and Vietnam withdrew, and the Han army retreated, which made Fujian and Vietnam uneasy. In the third year of Emperor Jian Yuan of the Han Dynasty, Wang Ou of Dong Ou died in battle, and his son was so sad that he asked the Han Dynasty to move the capital to China. With the permission of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the King of Dong 'ou led more than 40,000 troops to the north, and set up Lujiang County (now Shucheng, Anhui Province) in the Jianghuai Valley, which was reduced to "Guangwuhou", and the Kingdom of Dong 'ou was incorporated into the Central Dynasty (formerly an independent kingdom).
