An overview of the main cultural sources of Chu culture in Jingzhou;
Chu culture is a culture with its own characteristics created by Chu people in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River (involving the Yangtze River, Hanjiang River and Huaihe River Basin) during the Zhou Dynasty. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, people in the Central Plains called southerners in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River Man Jing, Chu people or Jingchu, and the Book of Songs also mentioned "attacking Yanwu and Jingchu".
Zhou Chengwang made Xiong Yi, the leader of Jingchu tribe, Zi Chu in Danyang, Jingshan, marking the beginning of Chu history. At first, Chu was in a low position among the vassal States, and its control area was very small. In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, Chu gradually became powerful, and through constant wars, it gradually controlled the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and became one of the "five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period".
Archaeologists have discovered a large number of cultural relics in the Spring and Autumn Period, such as sites and tombs with their own characteristics, which shows that until the Spring and Autumn Period, a Chu cultural system with Jingchu nationality as the main body and Chu State as the center has been formed.
In the Warring States period, Chu continued to expand, occupying most of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, controlling parts of Henan, Sichuan and Guizhou today, and became the most extensive regime among the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States". With the development of Chu and Jingchu nationalities from weak to strong, Chu culture has experienced a process of emergence, development, dissemination and exchange and integration with newly conquered regional culture.
