由清华简《系年》看晋“联吴制楚”争霸新策略

On the Hegemony Strategy of State of Chu through the Story of Wuchen in the Tsinghua Jian Xinian

春秋中晚期,晋楚处于战略均势,其争霸也已进入白热化阶段。在此背景下,晋国不得不改变此前以军事对抗为主要内容的争霸策略,始从地缘层面采取"联吴制楚"的新战略。该战略虽适应时局发展必然性,但其产生却具有偶然性,与巫臣与楚国的个人恩怨密切相关。作为该战略的直接推动者与实践者,巫臣不仅扭转了晋、楚的争霸走势,而且还对春秋后期乃至战国的政治格局产生深远影响。

In the late Spring and Autumn Period, Chu and Jin were in the strategic balance of power, and their hegemony entered into the white-hot stage. In this context, Jin had to change prior strategy whose feature was the military confrontation, and began to take geopolitical element into account. Although the strategy which adapted to the situation was inevitability, but its production was so occasional that personal vendetta between Wuchen and Chu was closely related. As a direct promoter and practitioner of this strategy, Wuchen not only reversed the hegemony trend between Jin and Chu, but also impacted on the political pattern in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States.
