The Chronological Tables of Chinese History (9) Zhou Dynasty The State of Chu (楚國 c1112BC to 223BC)
Legend has it that, the sixth son of Lu Zhong (陸終), who was a descendant of Huang Di (黃帝) or the Yellow Emperor, was called Jilian (季連), who was being bestowed upon the surname of Mie (羋). Mie Jilian lived in the region of the river Han Shui (漢水). A son of Jilian became the administrator of You Xiong (有熊 present day Xinzheng 新鄭 city in Henan province (河南省), the former capital of the Yellow Emperor. He came to be known as Mie Xiong Jun (羋熊君
Many generations later, in 1185BC, when Ji Chang (姬昌) became the leader of the Zhou clan (周族), he employed a descendant of Mie Jilian called Mie Yuxiong (羋鬻熊) as his teacher. In 1122, Mie Yuxiong helped Ji Fa (姬發), the edlest son of Ji Chang, to destroy the Shang Dynasty (商朝 c1783BC to c1122BC) and Ji Fa established the Zhou Dynasty (周朝 c1134BC to 256BC).
Ji Fa died in c1116 BC and he was succeeded by his son Ji Song (姬誦), who was crowned Zhou King Cheng (周成王) who reigned until c1079BC. Mie Yuxiong was employed by Zhou King Cheng as a tutor in the Zhou Court. Zhou King Cheng gave authority to Mie Xiongyi (羋熊繹), the grandson of Mie Yuxiong, to rule a region called Jing Man (荊蠻 which is in the present day region between the rivers of Chang Jiang 長江 and Han Shui 漢水, in the two provinces of Hunan 湖南省 and Hubei 湖北省).
Zhou King Cheng also bestowed upon Mie Xiongyi the heritable title of Zi (子) or Viscount. Mie Xiongyi came to be known as Jing Man Zi (荊蠻子) or the Viscount of Jing Man. Most of the residents living in Jing Man were the descendants of the Miao Clan (苗族). Mie Xiongyi established his capital at Zi Gui (秭歸 present day in the east of Zigui county 秭歸縣 of Hubei province). Mie Xiongyi renamed his region of Jing Man to the State of Chu (楚國).
Seventeen generations later, in 740BC, Mie Xiongtong (羋熊通) became the 17th ruler of the State of Chu. Thirty six years later, in 704BC Mie Xiongtong proclaimed that he was not the Viscount of Chu (楚子) but the King of Chu (楚王). He titled himself Chu King Wu (楚武王) and moved his capital from Zi Gui to Danyang (丹陽 present day Zhi Jiang county 枝江縣 in Hubei province). He changed his surname from Mie (羋) to Xiong (熊). From then on the surname of the rulers of Chu was Xiong. However, many of his relatives continued to use Mie as their surname.Mie Xiongtong died in 690BC.
During the Spring and Autumn Period (春秋時代 722BC to 481BC) the State of Chu was one of the powerful States in the land until it was conquered by the State of Qin (秦國 present day Feng Xiang county 鳳翔縣 in Shaanxi province 陜西省). From the inception of the State of Chu in 1112BC to 223BC, when it was subjugated by the State of Qin, Chu had been ruled by forty one rulers. Xiong Fuchu (熊負芻) the last ruler of Chu was captued by the soldiers of Qin. He and his family were being sent to live in the Qin capital of Xian Yang (咸陽 present day Xian Yang city in Shaanxi province). However, some of the aristocrats continued to live in the former capital of Chu.
The surname of the rulers of the state of Chu was Mie (羋). However, in around 740BC Mie Xiongtong (羋熊通) changed it to Xiong (熊)

Het Austroaziatisch is een taalfamilie die bestaat uit meer dan 150 talen die (in 2005) door ruim 95 miljoen bewoners van Zuidoost-Azië en het oostelijk deel van India worden gesproken. 'Austro' in Austroaziatisch is afgeleid van australis, Latijn voor 'zuidelijk'. De term stamt uit het begin van de 20e eeuw en is voor het eerst gebruikt door de Duitse taalkundige Wilhelm Schmidt (1868–1954) als parallel voor de eveneens door hem bedachte term Austronesisch. De twee meest gesproken talen uit de Austroaziatische taalfamilie zijn het Vietnamees, de officiële taal van Vietnam en het Khmer, de officiële taal van Cambodja.
Sinds 1850, toen het Austroaziatisch voor het eerst als aparte taalfamilie werd onderkend, is geprobeerd de taalfamilie genetisch te verbinden met andere taalfamilies. De meeste bekende theorie is de Austrische hypothese, die uitgaat van een genetische verwantschap tussen de Austroaziatische en de Austronesische talen.

Mostly the Zizhi Tongjian (both the original as written by Sima Guang and as translated into modern Chinese by Bo Yang), supplemented with the official histories Book of Jin, Book of Song, and Book of Wei. Thanks for your comments. --Nlu (talk) 04:43, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Since the starting line had based accordingly to Zhang Qian (under 61), so let get this straight, Xiongnu attack on Yuezhi causing them to move to Ili Valley (which later occupied by the Wusun, 96), this moving of Yuezhi caused them to defeated the king of Sai and the Sais move far to the south, while Yuezhi occupied the area, they were defeated by the Wusun and the Yuezhi moved to the Daxia (Daxia only mentioned on this parts on 61, Xiongnu did not drove them far enough to Daxia, it was Wusun), and the Wusun occupied the area.

Literatuur Han periode[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]
http://www.staff.hum.ku.dk/dbwagner/TB/TB.html
Hitorical sources for the Han period. The most important of these are the three Official Histories (Zheng shi ):
'Shi ji
(Records of the historian), by Sima Qian (ca. 145-90 B.C.) and his father Sima Tan . A history of the known world from the beginnings to the authors' own time, thus incorporating approximately the first century of the Han period.
Han shu
(The book of Han), by Ban Gu (A.D. 32-92), his sister Ban Zhao , and others. A history of China from the beginning of the Han to the period of the usurper Wang Mang , i.e. from 206 B.C. to A.D. 25. For the first century of the Han it overlaps with the Shi ji, and in these parts the Han shu text is usually copied from the Shi ji, slightly rewritten.
Hou Han shu
(The book of Later Han), by Fan Ye (A.D. 398-445). A history of China from the Wang Mang period to the final fall of the dynasty, i.e. from about A.D. 25 to 220. In writing this history Fan Ye drew on a number of earlier histories of the same period, many of which had this same title, Hou Han shu, which have survived only in part.
The sources in translation :
- Watson, Burton

- Translates most of the chapters of the Shi ji which relate to the Han period.

"Introduction", t. 1, pp. i-ccxlix.
covers the first 52 chapters, most of which are related to pre-Han periods and thus are of less importance here.
- Dubs, Homer H. (tr.)
- The history of the Former Han Dynasty, by Pan Ku, a critical translation with annotations. Vols. 1-3, Baltimore: Waverly Press, 1938, 1944, 1955. Tr. of juan 1-12 + 99 of Han shu. Further volumes were planned but never published.
Watson is justly famous for his highly readable translations of ancient Chinese texts, but he is criticised for the very sparing commentary and philological apparatus in his translations; Dubs' translations from the Han shu are much more "scholarly", but not at all easy to read.
Published translations from the Hou Han shu are few, but one can indirectly read it in translation by reading translations from the Zizhi tongjian . This book is a year-by-year history of China from the fifth century B.C. to the tenth century A.D., compiled by Sima Guang (1019-1086) by a scissors-and-paste method from the sources available to him. Since the Hou Han shu was very nearly his only source for the Later Han period, the following translations from the Zizhi tongjian can be useful to students as substitutes for translations from the Hou Han shu:
- DeCrespigny, Rafe (tr.)
- The last of the Han: Being the chronicle of the years 181-220 A.D. as recorded in chapters 58-68 of the Tzu-chih t'ung-chien of Ssu-ma Kuang (Centre of Oriental Studies, Monograph 9). Canberra: Australian National University, 1969.
