The significance of the Central Plains

Historically known as the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in Henan or China.

As a disyllabic word, "Zhongyuan" first appeared in the Book of Songs. For example, in The Book of Songs Xiaoya Jiri, there is a saying that "if you want to find the Central Plains, you will find it in harmony.". There is a saying in The Book of Songs Xiaoya Xiaowan that "there is a phoenix in the Central Plains, and Shu Ren picked it". The Central Plains of these two places means "Yuan Ye". The Central Plains mainly relies on the Yellow River Basin to irrigate farmland.

When the siege of Huiji was lifted, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, apologized to the people and said, "I don't know what my strength is, but I am guilty. I fought against a big country and exposed the bones of the people in the Central Plains. Please be more careful. " What is said here is that after death, people's bones were exposed in vilen because of the war. The Central Plains originally meant "vilen".
