The outstanding statesman of the Wandering Bear

Hu Xiong's political ideas require the rulers to appoint wise officials, change evil into good, and impose strict rewards and punishments, which shows that the ancestor of Chu State, Wu Xiong, was an outstanding politician.

Huanzi’s political proposition is, first of all, to follow the "Tao". On the premise of practicing the "Tao", the monarch and his ministers will meet together, trust each other, and accomplish great things together. He said: "If a gentleman does not seek advice from others, it is enough. If he seeks advice from others, it is not Tao and there is no reason for it." Whether a gentleman follows Tao and is accepted by the monarch depends on whether the monarch is wise or foolish. Therefore, he also said: "Therefore, a gentleman's plan must be based on Dao if he can, but he must see acceptance if he can; if he can, he must be loyal, but if he cannot, he must enter; if he can, he must believe, but if he cannot, he must see faith." This shows that only if the king is wise and his ministers are wise, , when the two meet and combine, "Tao" can be promoted and applied. Therefore, whether the role of a wise minister can be fulfilled depends on whether the monarch is wise or not. What is "Tao"? Huanzi said: "Those who issue policies and decrees for the benefit of the world are called the Tao." Government decrees that benefit the people of the world are the "Tao". In the slave society of the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty, it was undoubtedly progressive to put forward political ideas that benefited the people of the world. This idea was continued and developed by Confucius more than five hundred years later, and became the cornerstone of benevolent government, the core idea of ??Confucianism.

Vou Xiong, surnamed Mi, given name Xiong, also known as Xiong Fleas or fleas. The descendants of the Zhu Rong family are the descendants of Ji Lian, Lu Zhong's sixth son. When Wan Xiong was ninety years old, he paid homage to King Wen, who regarded him as his teacher. When he arrived at King Wu, King Cheng regarded him as his teacher. King Cheng enfeoffed a large number of princes with different surnames. At that time, Wan Xiong had passed away, as had Wan Xiong's son Xiong Li and grandson Xiong Kuang. Therefore, his great-grandson Xiong Yi was granted the title of Xiong Yi in the Chu region, and his descendants all took the surname Xiong. It is said that there were thirty-one generations and forty-three monarchs. Hu Xiong has a volume called "Wan Zi". "Historical Records: The Family of Chu" records: "Mr. Huan Xiong assisted King Wen and died early. Xiong Tong said: 'My ancestor Huan Xiong was knowledgeable and was the teacher of King Zhou. He died early.'" But "Huanzi" said that ninety He only met King Wen at the age of 18. Later, King Wu and King Cheng asked him for advice on conferring Kang Shu to Wei. Calculating that his age should be more than one hundred or twenty years old. Therefore, the death mentioned earlier refers to death before being granted a title, rather than a lack of longevity. Therefore, the Chu people regard Wan Xiong as their ancestor (the Chu people regard Emperor Zhuanxu's Gaoyang clan as their ancestor, Laotong and Zhu Rong as their distant ancestors, and Wan Xiong as their ancestor).

Wu Xiong is revered as the ancestor of the Xiong family.
