Zhongshan (, c. 6th century BC – c. 296 BC) was a Di state created by the nomadic Xianyu tribe in China during the later Zhou Dynasty. It was located on the plain east of the Shanxi plateau near the modern city of Baoding in Hebei. Its name means "Central Mountains", as opposed to the Western Mountains of Shanxi or the Eastern Mountains of Shandong. In Chinese sources, it is called a state of the Baidi.〔Cambridge History of Ancient China, page 949〕 ==Origins and location== The state was founded in the sixth century BC (or in 414 BC〔Joseph P Yap,'Wars with the Xiongnu: A Translation from Zizhi Tongjian, 2009, page 13〕) by descendants of the Baidi (lit. "White Di") who had been driven from Shaanxi into Hebei, where they founded their first city with assistance from the State of Wei. By around 400 BC, it had adopted much of Chinese culture, but it was not considered fully Chinese. Around 300 BC, Zhongshan's capital was at either Pingshan or Lingshou, both about 75 miles southwest of Baoding and 25 miles northwest of Shijiazhuang. It was surrounded by the State of Zhao to the west and the State of Yan to the east. It had fortified cities and 1,000 war chariots in its army. Archeology shows a material culture similar to the rest of China at that time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zhongshan (state)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
