A Study on the Route of Chu General Zhuang Qiao's Entry into Yunnan during the Warring States Period
Zhuang Qiao,the Chu general during the Warring States period,was the first person recorded in history to develop the Yunnan border inland.In view of the Qin and Chu's struggle for hegemony,the Qin army was advancing step by step,and the Chu state's Ying capital was in danger.Zhuang Qiao led his army from Ying capital and drove straight into Kunming,opening up enemy base areas to ease the pressure on the Chu army's frontal battlefield.There have always been theories of"Xunjiang"and"Suyuan"in the field of his-tory regarding the route of Zhuang Qiao entering Yunnan.However,whether from the perspective of the book's completion time,the author's academic attitude,or the strategic situation of the Qin and Chu states and the navigation situation of the Yuanjiang River at that time,the theory of"Xunjiang"is more in line with historical reality than the theory of"Suyuan".
