Tan Jiabin, who has studied Qu Yuan and Chu Ci for a long time, showed reporters a lot of information about Qu Yuan's birth in Leping, Zigui, and responded to the related statements of Xixia. He said that Qu Yuan's work "Nine Songs of Dong Jun" is supported by the cultural relic "Sun Man" unearthed in Zigui; Qu Yuan's Lisao describes 28 species of plants, including 15 species in Leping. Li Daoyuan's Notes on Water Classics in the Northern Wei Dynasty quoted Yuan's Notes on Yidu Landscape in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and clearly affirmed that Qu Yuan was born in Lepingli, Zigui. In the fifteenth year of Yuanhe (820), Wang Maoyuan, the Tang Dynasty secretariat, first built Quyuan Temple in Wuli, east of the city, and made a preface to the Inscription on the Ancestral Temple of Doctor Chu Qu, calling Quyuan a "Zigui man". Leping has a history book that records the ancient ruins of Qu Yuan that still exist today.
The capital of Chu has been moved several times, but the name of the capital is still "Danyang". According to ancient books and current archaeological excavations, it can be clearly determined that the capital of Chu State in Qu Yuan's period was Yichang City, Hubei Province (from Zigui to Zhijiang).
1, Biography of Rong Ying in the Spring and Autumn Period: "Chu lived in Danyang, now the old city of Zhijiang County." ; The Collection of Historical Records quotes Guangxu: "(Danyang) is in Zhijiang County, Nanjun County." ; "Continued Han Shu": "Zhijiang, Houguo, Robben, Danyang." . "This statement originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty, quite early. "Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Nan Jing": "Danshan is south of Danyang, and Danyang belongs to it. "Guo Pu's Note:" Today, Danyang City, Jianping County, Dongqili County, Zigui County. " ; Li Daoyuan: "Zigui, change Chu Zi to be the first country", "Danyang City? Zi Chu Xiong Yi began to seal the capital Danyang. "The tomb of the late king of Zi Chu was in the meantime, and it was built as a sign."
2. Yu Ji (BC? -BC 1002), namely King Zhao of Zhou, the fourth king of the Zhou Dynasty in China. It was also the period of Xiong Yi, the fourth king of Chu. In the 19th year of Zhao Haoqi, he personally commanded the army of the Sixth Division to attack Chu in the south, and was completely annihilated. Zhao Haoqi died in Hanshui River. It shows that the capital of Chu has moved to Zhijiang in Zigui, south of Hanshui River, so King Zhao of Zhou attacked Chu in Hanshui River many times, and later drowned in Hanshui River. Xichuan in Nanyang is north of Hanshui River, which is not the capital of Chu State at all. Moreover, the relics of Chu culture in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period have been unearthed at the site of Longcheng Ancient City in Danjiang Reservoir, so Dan Xi's theory has not been confirmed by archaeology. It can only mean that it is a city of Chu.
Chronology of Bamboo Books: "In the sixteenth year of King Zhao of Zhou, he attacked and involved in Han, and suffered great disasters." "In the nineteenth year of King Zhao of Zhou, a great disaster struck, and all the rabbits were surprised, and Han lost six divisions." Historical Records of Zhou Benji: "When Wang Zhao was in office, Wang Dao was slightly short. Zhao Haoqi did not return from his southern tour and died on the river. " "Zuo Zhuan Xi Gong Four Years": "If you don't pay tribute, you are guilty of widowhood and dare not give it. Wang Zhao is gone, you ask the waterfront! " In addition, there are many reflections on the southern expedition in bronze inscriptions, such as the inscription "Shi Jingzun" on Wang's bronze wares: "Did Wang participate in the invasion of Chu in the Han Dynasty?" When introducing the device, Mr. Li Xueqin pointed out: "No matter whether Danyang, which was sealed in Xiongyi when he became king, was in Danxi area, the Chu of Zhao Wang could only be in Hannan." According to the literature, Xiong Yi was sealed when he became king, and King Zhao of Zhou happened to be around Xiong Yi's grandchildren. From Chu, I still live in Yitun. It can be inferred that Yitun is located in the south of Hanshui River, which supports the theory of "South School". Mr. Jiahao Li thinks that "a village is pronounced as Yiling" and "a cave" are worthy of attention.
3. There is no literature on the code, compilation and ingenious capture from Xiong's illness to Xiong's living in Chu. Fortunately, from June 2065438 to June 2002, a number of bronzes were unearthed at Wanfunao Site in Bai Yang Town, Zhijiang, including 1 1 chime and 1 tripod, among which 1 chime was engraved with an inscription, the content of which is very important: "Chu Ji Bao Zhong, Judging from the inscription on the chime, Chu Ji's word "Gong" was immediately called Chu Gong. Gong Chu artifacts were unearthed in Zhijiang, indicating that Zhijiang was related to the central area of Gong Chu period. At the "Press Conference on Archaeological Discovery of Wanfulong Site in Yichang" held on August, 2065438 12, scholars who participated in the identification of unearthed cultural relics thought that the date of chimes "belonged to the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty". Mr. Li Xueqin pointed out in "Trial Discussion on the Chiming of Chuji (to be published)" that its time belongs to "Zhou Liwang area", and that "Chuji is probably that season" in the chime inscription, "Wanfulong site will not be the burning (flying) and night (selling) places where Ruoao lives below, and it is probably Joe. This analysis is accurate. From the above analysis, we can see that if Chu Shi starts to move away from Zigui and Zhijiang, it will develop to the plain between Zhang Zhuo and Hanshui. Judging from the chime of Chu Ji, Qiao Duo is most likely to be in Zhijiang. It can be inferred that the landscape in Chu Ju is also in the same area as Qiao Duo, and it should be in the area from Zigui to Zhijiang. In short, the early Chu capital "Danyang" in the literature is equivalent to a group of place names such as, Yitun, Codex, Biandong, Qiaoduo, Tang, Burning and Nightingale in Chu Ci. The general migration process is as follows: Jing Zong lives in Jingshan area in the upper reaches of Zhang Zhuo, Yitun in Yichang area, Fagedi, Bianluo and Qiaoduo live in Zigui to Zhijiang area, and Zhang Tan, Shaoye and Night are located in the plain area between Zhang Zhuo and Hanshui River.
