In the old days when Yu Zhong, the younger brother of Zhou Zhang, was in the north of Chengzhou Summer Capital This is Yuzhong, one of the princes. According to "Zuo Zhuan, the Five Years of Xi Gong", Big Uncle and Yu Zhong are the king's Zhaoye. If you don't give up, you will not inherit. Guo Zhong 、 Uncle Guo , Wang Jizhi Muya, a minister of Wen and Wang, Xun was in the royal family and hid in the League House. How can you love Yu when you destroy Guo? [Translation]（ State Yu Ancestors of) Taibo Yu Zhong, the son of the Tai Wang, did not succeed to the throne because he fled. Guo Zhong and Guo Shu, the sons of Wang Ji King Wen of Zhou He is a minister of the imperial court, who has made contributions to the royal family and is recorded in the book. （ Guo State And Jin state during Spring and Autumn period The blood relationship of Jin is closer than that of Yu State and Jin State.) Now that Jin State even Guo State is going to be destroyed, what love will Jin have for Yu State?

In the above historical records, there are two Yuzhong before and after. The first Yuzhong is named Zhongyong, and the last Yuzhong is the great grandson of Zhongyong, ranking second, and was granted the State of Yu, so it is called Yuzhong. They are great grandfather and great grandson, so why is Zhong Yong also called Yu Zhong?
More than 700 years ago Southern Song Dynasty Famous literati Fan Chengda He once thought about this problem, and《 Wu Junzhi 》He has made an explanation in his opinion: Zhong Yong It is the ancestor of Zhou Zhangdi and Yu Zhong, who was killed by King Wu a feudal state In Yu Yu, the descendants put the name of Yu Zhong's "Yu" in front of his ancestor Zhong Yong, so Zhong Yong was also called Yu Zhong. We can see from the records in Records of the Historian, Wu Taibo's Aristocratic Family, Wu Wang Keshang Then look for Taibo And the descendants of Zhongyong, in order to enfeoff them to offer sacrifices to Taibo and Zhongyong, found Zhou Zhang Zhou Zhang has become the monarch of Wu. At that time, it was very important to keep our relatives from sacrificing. Even for an enemy country, a virtuous king often destroys his country without sacrificing, King Wu of Zhou seal King Zhou of Yin Son of Wu Geng Yu Yin is an example. according to Zhou dynasty Zhou Zhang, as the eldest great grandson of Zhong Yong, should follow the worship of Taibo. In this way, Zhong Yong's successor could only be his second great grandson Zhong (ranking second, so he was called Zhong). Zhong was granted the State of Yu, so he was called Yu Zhong. Because Yu Zhongcheng worships Zhongyong, his descendants once again named him Zhongyong with the Yu character of the State of Yu. Zhongyong also ranks second, so he is also called Yuzhong. The Jin army went on a false journey, and the State of Yu died
The history books of the existence time and inheritance lineage of Yu State are missing. As per《 Redords of the Grand History of China 》And《 Master Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals 》Records of the late Shang Dynasty Zhou nationality leader Ancient Danfu The eldest son Taibo After establishing the State of Wu with the second son Zhongyong, the throne of the monarch was handed down to the fifth generation, King Wu of Zhou Then he conquered Yin and Zhou, and granted two descendants of Taibo and Zhongyong: one in the Yu State, in the mainland, and the other in the Wu State, in the Southeast barbarian region. When the monarch of the State of Wu was handed down to the 17th century, in 655 BC, the monarch of the State of Yu coveted the State of Jin Jin Xiangong Of bmw Meiyu, lend the way to the southern crusade Guo State Jin army Xun Xi After leading the army to attack and destroy Guo State, on the way back to the army, they attacked Yu State with their own hands. In this way, the inland Yu State was killed by the Jin State with a clever trick. This is the origin of historical allusions such as "perishing Guo on vacation" and "death of lips and coldness of teeth".
