Over three thousand six hundred years ago, the descendants of the fire god Zhu Rong, who once lived in the Central Plains, were expelled by the Shang Dynasty. Thus, they migrated south with great difficulty and finally settled in the humid and pungent barbarian lands of the south. They named themselves "Chu people," and although they were on the frontier, they always harbored the desire to return to the Central Plains. The leader of the Chu people, Xiong Xiong, assisted the Zhou Dynasty in overthrowing the tyrannical rule of King Zhou of Shang; however, they did not receive the respect and fief they deserved, and the southern tour of King Zhao of Zhou completely shattered their hopes for the Son of Heaven. Represented by capable rulers like Xiong Qu, Xiong Tong, and King Zhuang of Chu, the Chu people began to attempt expansion into the Central Plains. Following wars, the invasion of Lord Huan of Qi, the Battle of Chengpu, and the War of Wu and Chu. Centuries of brutal warfare forged the steel-like will of the Chu people, and their eight hundred years of heritage gradually moved toward prosperity, as well as decline and demise. This film recreates the magnificent history of the State of Chu for the audience based on a wealth of historical records and unearthed artifacts.
