Battle of Chengpu
Reform Instituted by Wang Anshi
Emperor Guangwu Revitalizes the Han
War of Eight Princes |
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a conflict between the states of Jin against Chu and its allies in China in 632B.C., which is called the Battle of Chengpu. The Jin victory confirmed the hegemony of Duke Wen of Jin and checked Chu ambitions in the north for at least a generation. The Battle of Chengpu is probably the biggest of the Spring and Autumn Period and definitely the most detailed in the Zuo Zhuan. It could be viewed as the first great battle in the protracted conflict between the states of the Yellow River valley, and the states of the Yangtze River valley. |
