The State of Yan was a princely state surnamed Ji in northern China in the early Zhou Dynasty,and was established for 800 years.The war in the Yan Kingdom was directly related to the life and death of the Yan Kingdom,and its position in the study of the history of the Yan Kingdom was particularly important.The main wars of the Yan State in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were embodied in the Central Plains states represented by Qi and Zhao and the northern peoples represented by Shanrong and Eastern Hu,and through the study of wars between the Yan State and the above-mentioned countries and tribes,the overall picture of the main wars of the Yan State in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty can be more completely displayed.A total of eleven wars broke out between the State of Yan and the State of Qi,which were divided into three phases: the Spring and Autumn Period,the Early Warring States Period and the Middle Warring States Period,and each war was systematically sorted out and analyzed.The combat sites of the Yan-Qi War reflected the historical process of the gradual improvement of the national strength of the Yan State and the continuous advancement of the territory to the south.The unfavorable situation of the Yan-Qi War in the early and middle Warring States period objectively became an important factor in the transformation of the Yan state into a strong country,and promoted the historical process of changing the current situation and the Chinese nation from division to reunification.A total of eight wars broke out between the State of Yan and the State of Zhao,and the article divided them into two phases,the middle Warring States period and the late Warring States period,and combed and studied each war separately.The Yan-Zhao War mainly revolved around the land between the two canals of the Yellow River,and the Yan kingdom lost all its territory in the land between the rivers during the Yan Wangxi period,reflecting the fact that the Yan state gradually fell into passivity during the Yan-Zhao War.The Yan-Zhao War often broke out at the same time as the Qin-Zhao War,and the Yan State gradually became an important tool for the Qin State to contain the Zhao State.The frequent Yan-Zhao wars not only seriously consumed the national strength of the two countries,but also further accelerated the historical process of the eastward advance and unification of the Qin state.The war between the Yan State and Shanrong was mainly reflected in the Battle of the Yan State Alliance Qi Fa Shanrong.The background of the war was studied through the analysis of the distribution of Shanrong culture and the migration of Yanhuan Marquis to Linyi.The details of the war were examined: it is believed that the first battle of Qi Fa Shanrong of the Yan State Alliance was before the winter solstice of the 27 th year of the Duke of Yanzhuang(664 BC)and the summer and June of the 28 th year of the Duke of Yanzhuang(663 BC);The Yan saved by Qi Fa Shanrong should be the surname Beiyan of Ji built by Zhao Gong;Qi Huan Gong’s case of Lu Xianrong Jie has a certain logical rationality.This battle played a certain role in promoting the stability of the Yan regime,the formation of the hegemony of the Duke of Qi Huan,and the cultural exchanges between the two sides.The war between the Yan State and Eastern Hu was mainly reflected in the Battle of Qin Kai but Hu.The background of the war was analyzed through the study of the distribution of the Eastern Hu culture and the migration of the Duke of Yanwen and Yi.The time of Qin Kai but Hu is emphasized,and it is believed that this battle should have been between the 29th(282 BC)and 33rd(280 BC)years of King Yan Zhao;Qin Kai and Hu basically completed the partial unification of the Yan state,which played an important role in the economic development of the northeast region and the formation of the Chinese national community.The wars of the Yan State during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were mainly affected by the natural environment,economic situation and political situation of the Yan State,and at the same time had a Larger impact on the Yan State itself and the political situation,laying a solid foundation for the unification of the Qin State and promoting the final formation of ethnic integration and the pluralistic integration of the Chinese nation.
