After the demise of the Tang Dynasty Empire, East Asia entered a brand-new period. East Asian countries liberated from imperial rule have established their own nation-states. After hundreds of years of colonization by the Northern Empire, wuyue regained its independence. Wu Yueguo is located in present-day Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu. Since 886, the Qian family has ruled this area for nearly a hundred years. Qian and his son encouraged farming, built dams and promoted Buddhism and religion. Among the East Asian countries at that time, Wu Yueguo was the country with the longest national transportation, the most peaceful people and the most prosperous economy. Hangzhou, a third-rate town under the rule of the Tang Empire, has also become a metropolis with a population of more than 100,000 in just a few decades, and is called "the first state in Southeast China".
/kloc-At the beginning of 0/0 century, the Tang Empire was exhausted, bandits were rampant everywhere, mutinies were frequent, and peasant uprisings and national independence movements were in full swing. In troubled times, heroes come forth in large numbers. In 852, a baby boy was born in an ordinary farmer's home. Unexpectedly, decades later, it was this humble baby boy who succeeded in wuyue and established the most prosperous and stable Wu Yueguo in East Asia.
Hangzhou, a marginal county in the Tang Dynasty, has a thin wall and a dangerous strategic position. Qian Liu, who has just gained a foothold in Hangzhou, has not stopped. In order to consolidate his rule, he built city walls, expanded his territory and built dams, which laid a safe, stable and prosperous foundation for Hangzhou's urban development. Under the leadership of Qian Liu, Hangzhou began its first large-scale construction in history.
In wuyue, there are many temples of the King of Money and the Temple of the Sea, and incense is still flourishing today. The king of money is regarded as a god in the temple. In the belief of the people of wuyue, King Yue of Wu replaced the sea dragon king who can call the shots.
Yuezhou is the center of eastern Zhejiang and an important grain producing area. However, because Jianhu Lake is unattended and the dam is dilapidated, the people suffer from floods all the year round. During the six years of Qian, the water conservancy was revived and migrant workers were mobilized to build Jianhu Lake. The labor slogan of building water conservancy echoed everywhere in wuyue.
1996 One day, a farmer from Hangzhou came to the foot of the mountain to borrow soil to burn bricks. It was this unintentional move that made a tomb of money surface. The ancient tomb was covered with colorful paintings, vivid reliefs and exquisite astronomical images. Archaeologists have also discovered secret celadon and beautiful jade. The excavation of Kang Mausoleum seems to have unveiled the mystery of history and fascinated people for some time. What was the flourishing age of wuyue a thousand years ago?
East Asian Buddhism suffered a fatal blow in the late Tang Dynasty. The demise of Buddhism in Huichang, Tang Wuzong, almost eradicated Buddhism in the north. However, up to now, we can still see a large number of Buddha statues and pagodas of the same period in wuyue. The Qian family's admiration for Buddhism made Buddhism spread to the south and finally flourished again. It also makes wuyue a famous "Southeast Buddhist Country".
In 975, the Song and wuyue allied forces attacked Jinling, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Southern Tang Dynasty perished. The spear of conquest of the Song Empire pointed directly at wuyue. Qian Chu, the last king of wuyue, came to the first tomb temple with inner contradictions and pains, bowed down and wept bitterly. However, in order to save the people from the suffering of the war, he did not choose to resist. A stable and prosperous State of Wu Yue was once again annexed by the Northern Empire, and heavy taxes and cruel plunder fell on the people of Wu Yue. Qian Chu didn't come back, but Wu Yue people didn't die. They will live in this fertile land on the coast of the East China Sea forever.
