State of Wu

The State of Wu was an important independent kingdom during China's Spring and Autumn Period (around 770-476 BCE). Located in southeastern China, Wu was known for its strong military, skilled artisans, and involvement in regional politics. It played a significant role in shaping early Chinese history through alliances, conflicts, and cultural developments. Wu ultimately declined when it was absorbed into larger states during the Warring States Period, but it remains notable for its contributions to Chinese civilization and its influence on Chinese warfare and craftsmanship.
