江淮地区群舒国家对楚国外交政策的影响

The Influence of Qunshu Countries in Jianghuai Area on the Foreign Policy of the State of Chu

群舒国家作为江淮流域小方国的典型代表,虽在大国争霸的夹缝中生存,但是对周边的国家,尤其对楚国的外交政策产生一定程度的影响。从楚据群舒的必然性,楚国对群舒的策略,楚齐、楚晋尤其是楚吴对群舒国家的争夺,群舒国家出土的带有楚、吴两国特点的器物等方面研究楚国与群舒交流的过程,不难看出群舒在这一时期的重要性。通过深入探究群舒与以楚国为主的周边国家的交往历程,对掌握整个群舒历史文化,乃至江淮流域的历史,具有重要的意义。

As the typical representative of small countries in Jianghuai area, Qunshu countries survive in the fissure of superpower hegemony, but to some extent, they have influence on the foreign policy of neighboring countries especially of the state of Chu. It is not difficult to find that Qunshu is of great importance during this period by studying the process of the communication between Chu and Qunshu according to the inevitability of Chu occupying Qunshu, the strategy of Chu to Qunshu, the scramble for Qunshu countries between Chu and Qi, between Chu and Jin, especially between Chu and Wu, the unearthed utensils with the characteristics of Chu and Wu, etc. It has a vital significance for grasping the history and culture of the whole Qunshu, even the history of Jianghuai area through exploring the communication process of Qunshu and neighboring countries mainly the state of Chu deeply.
