Wu State, with its fierce and valiant demeanor, flourished on the historical stage during the late Spring and Autumn period. Outstanding talents, advanced military concepts, and a powerful military force combined to create the glory of King Helü's reign. With the planning and assistance of Sun Wu and Wu Zixu, Helü conquered Ying, the capital of Chu, achieving invincibility. Among his victories, the Battle of Boju was the most significant in the Wu-Chu War.
The Battle of Boju took place in 506 BC. King Helü of Wu, assisted by Wu Zixu and Sun Wu, led an army of 30,000, along with allied forces from Cai and Tang. They launched a long-distance raid, surprising the Chu army at Boju. Winning five consecutive battles, they ultimately conquered Ying, the capital of Chu, shaking the Central Plains. Wu State thus became the hegemon of the late Spring and Autumn period.
To vividly depict this battle and as a key component of the main exhibition hall "Helü's Mighty Wind", the "Hegemon of the Late Spring and Autumn Period" exhibition will open to the public on August 27. The exhibition will primarily recreate the course of the Battle of Boju through scenes and oil paintings, along with bronze artifacts from Wu, Cai, Tang, and Zeng states borrowed from Suizhou Museum and other institutions. The exhibited bronzes are mainly weapons. One bronze halberd, unearthed in 2013 from the Wenfeng Pagoda tomb site in Suizhou, bears the gold-inlaid bird seal inscription "Used by Wu Prince Guang." This indicates that it was made for Wu Prince Guang, the later King Helü. Based on inscriptions on other funerary objects from the same tomb, the tomb owner was Zeng Sun Shao, who served as the "Grand Sima" of the Sui (Zeng) state. After the Battle of Boju, Ying was captured and King Zhao of Chu fled to Sui, where he received protection. The unearthed "Wu Prince Guang halberd" in a Zeng state noble's tomb may have a significant connection to the Battle of Boju.
The exhibition will open on August 27, with borrowed artifacts on display for one year. The first-class relic "Wu Prince Guang halberd" and the third-class relic "Tang Hou-made Sui Lady Ding" will be exhibited until December 15 this year. The exhibition is located in the left front of the exit of the second floor's main exhibition hall, "Helü's Mighty Wind." The Helü City Ruins Museum sincerely welcomes history enthusiasts to come and explore.
