(1) The Lu State established a sub-city. The area around Lanling Town, Cangshan County, located in southern Shandong, belonged to the State of Juan during the Xia, Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties (there are ruins of the ancient city of the State of Juan in the northwest of Xiangcheng). . In 602 BC, the Yellow River, which entered the sea through the Huaihe River, changed its course for the first time on record, going north to the northeast of today's Cang County, Hebei Province and entering the sea. The vast wetlands and vast lakes in the south of Shan State have exposed large areas of tidal flats, which have become fertile soil for farming. In 601 BC, Ji Sunxingfu (Ji Wenzi) of the Lu State was appointed as the official official of the Lu State and was in charge of the economic power of the Lu State. During this period, the Huaiyi people from the south took advantage of the situation and moved northward to seize the Huanghuai tidal flats. The state of Shan was weak and unable to prevent the Huaiyi people from invading the north, so it attached itself to the state of Lu. In order to protect the interests of the state of Lu and the inviolability of the Feiyi fiefdom of the Jisun clan, Ji Wenzi sent Lu soldiers and slaves southward to occupy present-day Lanling and establish a secondary town. . At the same time, slaves who farmed the mine fields of Lu and Zuo also went south to make a living and cultivated "king soil" by the lakes and tidal flats in the lower reaches of Sishui and Sishui. For a time, private fields increased significantly in the Huanghuai Beach, and slaves became free people. In 594 BC, Ji Wenzi, an official of the State of Lu, first implemented the "initial tax acres" system here. As a result, for the first time in Chinese history, the land around the sub-households had real self-cultivating farmers, peasant family units, and surnames that were stipulated by the princes or registered and paid taxes by themselves. From then on, the common people became another name for farmers. In 568 BC, the State of Zuo secretly surrendered to the State of Lu. A war broke out between the State of Lu and the State of Ju, and the State of Lu regained the former territory of the State of Zuo. Due to the long-term monopoly of the Jisun family, one of the three emperors of the Lu State, the secondary chamber became an administrative organization parallel to the public office in Qufu in the southern territory of the Lu state, and built a palace-style pavilion for the secondary chamber, leaving behind the daughter of the secondary chamber. A sad story about your love for your country. "Biography of Women" by Liu Xiang of the Han Dynasty. "The Maiden of Luqi" contains: "When I was Duke Mu, I had an old lady and a young lady, and my daughter leaned on a pillar and whistled. ... In the third year, Lu Guo was in chaos, Qi and Chu attacked, and there were bandits in Lu. The men fought, and the women There is no rest during the transfer." According to Lu Mu Gonghe's calculation three years later, this was 382 BC. Qi and Chu were fighting for hegemony, and the state of Lu was in decline. The second house should be controlled by the state of Chu, and became a position to compete with Wu and Yue for hegemony in the north. Today's county extends to Kaiyang (today's Linyi) and Ju State (today's Ju County). This narrow area from northeast to southwest became the new northeastern border of Chu State. The State of Chu sent officials to manage the hometown of the State of Zuo. In the "Yao Wen" chapter of "Xunzi", there is a record of an official from Zhenqiu (the hometown of the State of Zuo) paying homage to the Prime Minister of Chu, Sun Shuao. (See the Historical Atlas of China: Map of the situation of princes ruling the roost in 350 BC).
(2) The state of Chu was renamed Lanling. According to research, the place name of Lanling should have appeared between 319 and 312 BC, about 2320 years ago. The name should be related to the period when Qu Yuan, a doctor of the state of Chu, served as a disciple of King Huai of Chu.
In 319 BC, Qu Yuan served as a disciple of King Huai of Chu. He "went in to discuss state affairs with the king and issue orders; when out, he received guests and dealt with the princes." He was also in charge of Chu's domestic and foreign affairs. Affairs, was trusted by King Huai, and held great power for a while. In autumn, in order to unite Zonglian and attack Qin horizontally, Qu Yuan made his first eastward mission to Qi. In 314 BC, Qu Yuan was slandered by Shangguan officials and fell into disrepute. He was dismissed from his post as Zuitu and appointed as Sanlu official. In 312 BC, in order to ease the conflict between Chu and Qi over the struggle for hegemony, King Chu Huai appointed Qu Yuan as envoy to Qi again, and Qi and Chu resumed diplomatic relations. At this time, Chu State had occupied the northeastern border city and sub-villages for more than 60 years. In the era of unjust wars in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Zhou royal family declined, the princes dominated, and whoever occupied the land had the final say. The Second Chamber is the geographical name corresponding to Qufu, the official residence of the Lu State, with a strong flavor of the Lu State. If the State of Chu wants to establish administrative institutions in the old land of the Lu State, it must abolish the "Secondary Chamber" left over from the dictatorship of Lu Sanhuan, and also Let the remnants of Lu accept the rule of the Chu people. They believe that the old land of Lu must be governed not only with Confucian concepts, but also with the imprint of Chu politics. The task of drafting a new place name full of the ideals of the times fell upon the politician Qu Yuan.
During the Warring States Period, wars were raging, heroes were vying for hegemony, and there were many princes. Qu Yuan sent an envoy to the State of Qi from Ying, the capital of Chu (today's Ji Nancheng, Jiangling County, Hubei Province) to the east, traveling eastward across the Yangtze River, entering Hangou, reaching Huaisi, and reaching the Jishui River. Cushiyi is located on the Jishui River and is the northeastern border city of Chu. It is the only place where Qu Yuan's envoys from Chu must pass. As an important minister in charge of civil and foreign affairs, Qu Yuan paid close attention to the northeastern border towns. It was probably during this period that he changed the name of his second chamber to Lanling. In 255 BC, Xunzi was appointed the magistrate of Lanling, 127 years after the Chu people occupied Lanling, and 64 years after Qu Yuan's envoy to Qi in the autumn of 319 BC. The place name of Lanling had already been established.
