淮河上中游楚国重心的变迁

The Transition of Chu Center in the Upper and Middle Reaches of Huai River

先秦时期,淮河上中游地区的楚国重心发生了从息县到寿春的变迁。春秋中期,息县是这里的重心。春秋晚期,乾溪的战略意义凸显,因而重心转移至此。进入战国时期,陈、上蔡的地位日益上升,成为新的重心。考烈王二十二年(前241年),楚都迁至寿春,这里变成淮河上中游的重心。

In the Pre-Qin period,the Chu center transferred from Xi county to Shouchun on the upper and middle reaches of Huai River.In the middle phase of Spring and Autumn Period,Xi county was the district center.At the late phase of Spring and Autumn Period,Qianxi's strategic significance was prominent,so the center shifted to this place.During the Warring States time,the status of Chen and Shangcai had risen increasingly,whose were new centers.On the twenty-second year of Kaolie King(241 B.C.),Chu Capital transferred to Shouchun,which became centre of the upper and middle reaches of Huai River.
