Why did Chu, the country with the largest territory, become the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period?

Chu is one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. As the influence of the Zhou Dynasty gradually weakened, the influence of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period gradually increased. Among the seven countries, Chu occupied the largest area at that time, occupying the whole southern part of the Central Plains, but in the end, Chu was invaded by the Qin State, which further unified the Central Plains. The main reason is that Chu was only a large area at that time, and its military strength was not strong, its economic strength was not as good as the other six chivalrous men, and its system was relatively backward.

First of all, Chu is not a powerful country. Chu has a vast territory, but compared with other countries, the cities of Chu are not well-known cities at that time, nor are they big cities in the world. Insufficient land development, a lot of land is in a barren state, and the resources that can be developed are very limited, which leads to the economic backwardness of Chu in the six countries at that time. The army did not have the support of economic strength, and its equipment could not adopt the most advanced equipment, which led to the weak combat effectiveness of the army at that time. Moreover, the economy can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, there is no relatively prominent industry, and the larger granary in the Central Plains is not in Chu. With an empty territory and unmatched strength, Chu is not a powerful country.

Second, Chu's system and foreign policy are backward. After Shang Yang's political reform, the economic strength of Qin increased greatly, but Chu did not seek political reform to enhance its strength. He is still addicted to the prosperity of the past, and the nobles are immersed in luxurious life. The only remaining economy is not on the development of talents and troops, but on pleasure, which leads to poor national strength and fails to ban this extravagant wind within the system. Chu's foreign policy failed, and the leader had no courtesy to corporal. Because of his vast territory, he bullied other countries everywhere, which led to hostility and bad diplomatic relations in Chu, and was finally isolated and eliminated by the Qin Dynasty. It's also a matter of time.

Chu owned the largest land in the Central Plains at that time, but failed to make good use of it. The economic industrial chain is not prominent, which leads to unsustainable economic development, backward economy leads to backward army, too many enemies in foreign policy, failure to maintain good relations with other countries, isolation and helplessness, and backward army. Chu is not just a big country with strong external strength and weak internal strength.
