Drink Jianye water instead of Wuchang fish.

I would rather die in Jianye than Wuchang.

. Early nursery rhymes in Wu Dynasty is a nursery rhyme quoted by Lu Kai when he persuaded Sun Hao in Wuchang. In this performance, Lu Kai lamented the decline of the State of Chen and the weakness of the people's hearts, and urged Sun Hao to "save the rest of his life, stop his harassment, appoint maids and choose officials." Sun Hao was unhappy, of course, but he was not hurt by Lu Kai's "longing".

During the Three Kingdoms period, Wu, located in the southeast, was the country with the longest founding time. However, before and after Sun Quan's death, the issue of inheritance rights within the ruling group was opened out of order. Court officials are divided into two categories: those who support the office and those who support society. The struggle to abolish the crown prince is very sharp. In 252 AD, Sun Quan died, and internal contradictions quickly emerged. Imperial clan and ministers killed each other and fought for power and profit for a long time. Not long after Sun Quan, Sun Liang and Sun Xiu proclaimed themselves emperors. In 264 AD, Sun Hao was in power. The last emperor of Wu was fierce, cruel and extravagant. He used torture to kill people, such as peeling skin, gouging out eyes and killing three families. There are thousands of ladies in the harem, and they are still robbing girls among the people. It is even clearly reported that the list of "female officials" will be reported every year, and girls will be "briefly read" for their selection when they are fifteen or sixteen years old. Violent politics and cruel exploitation aroused the people's continuous uprising, and finally pushed Wu to the abyss of extinction.

In the history of Wu, there have been many events of moving the capital. In 2 1 1 year, Sun Quan moved his capital from Wu to Moling and changed his name to Jianye (now Nanjing). Later, with the development of political and economic situation, Sun Quan moved his capital to Hubei and changed his name to Wuchang. In 229, it was also Jianye. Sun Quan, who is very enterprising, attaches great importance to these two military towns. Through the establishment of the capital, the economies of the two places are increasingly prosperous; Jianye, in particular, has become the political, economic and cultural center of the South. When Sun Hao arrived, in 265 AD, he also moved the capital at the suggestion of Governor Xiling. What is the reason? As the saying goes, "Jingzhou has a royal spirit." Jianye Palace is in ruins. The greedy tyrant wanted to enjoy all the happiness in the world, so he moved from Jianye to Wuchang and ordered Yangzhou people to send all the expenses of the Yangtze River to enjoy it. People along the Yangtze River are full of complaints and pains.
