The capital of Chu State is Ying. Ying was the capital of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Chu people have the habit of naming the capital Ying. Due to historical reasons, the capital of Chu moved many times, and the number and frequency of moving the capital were unmatched by other governors in the early Zhou Dynasty. The earliest capital of Chu was in Danyang, and later it moved from Danyang to Ying because of competing with other small countries for land in Hanzhong.

Chu:

According to Hua Qing Jian Chu Ju, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chu people stole cattle to sacrifice in Tan State, which showed the poverty and weakness at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. After hundreds of years of development, Chu began to rise when it became king in the Spring and Autumn Period. Jianghan was elected, and the surrounding small vassal States were continuously annexed. Zhou Tianzi gave him a gift and ordered Chu to guard the central and southern regions. In 704 BC, Xiong Tong usurped the throne of Chu Wuwang. Now, Yu, Sun Shuai and other sages were ordered to win the Central Plains, and the Battle of Tai defeated the State of Jin for hegemony, thus creating the most prosperous era of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period.
