楚国
(?
前689年~
前677年)
楚文王,原名
熊赀,楚武王之子。从丹阳迁都于郢(今湖北省江陵市西北),采用“板筑法”筑城。继承乃父遗志,尚武强国,灭息、邓、申、夔诸国,大大扩充了楚国的版图。楚文王六年(前684年)楚出兵伐蔡国,败蔡于莘,俘蔡哀侯。蔡哀侯向楚文王称赞息妫乃天下第一美女。于是文王访息国,受到息侯接待,却乘机灭息,占有息妫。息妫生熊艰、熊頵二子。
楚地之荆山产玉。楚人卞和得一璞玉,献于楚王,被两次处以刖刑。文王命工匠剖此璞石,取得宝玉,称为“和氏璧”。文王颁定《仆区之法》,规定:“盗所隐器,与盗同罪。”
楚文王十年(前680年)秋七月,楚师入蔡。十二年(前678年)灭邓。楚文王十三年(前677年)出师抵御巴国入侵,大败而还,郢都城门官鬻拳闭门不纳,迫使其转兵伐黄国,大破之。还师及湫时,得病,至六月卒。鬻拳自杀殉葬。子熊艰立,是为庄敖。
