Wuyue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Kingdom of Wuyue (Traditional Chinese: 吳越國; Simplified Chinese: 吴越国, Pinyin: WúYuèGuó), 852-988 AD, was a small independent coastal kingdom founded by King Qian Liu and covered what is today Shanghai, all of Zhejiang Province, the southern portion of Jiangsu Province, and (later) the northern portion of Fujian Province. |
| | The name Wuyue comes from the combination of Wu Kingdom and Yue Kingdom, two ancient kingdoms during the Spring and Autumn Period from 770 to 476 BC. |
| | The legacy of the Wuyue Kingdom was in cementing the cultural and economic dominance of the Wuyue region in China for centuries to come, as well as creating a lasting regional cultural tradition distinctive from the rest of China. |
