Therefore, politically speaking, Gou Jian, the King of Yue, is an ambitious king and a people-oriented king. Of course, his people-oriented view still failed to jump out of the historical category at that time, and it was people-oriented in a narrow sense, but this should be affirmed.
The biggest shortcoming of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, is that he can be in trouble, not rich or poor. Fan Li saw this. The so-called bird tried to hide his bow, so he hid in a canoe, but Wen Zi didn't listen to his advice, and finally he gave himself a sword. So judging from Gou Jian's personal qualities, he is not worthy of recognition.

The life of the character
Beat Wu one after another
Gou Jian, the King of Yue, is a descendant of Yu Xia, the founding monarch of Xia Dynasty, and a direct descendant of Shao Kang, an illegitimate child of Xia Dynasty. Yu Yu was sealed in Huiji, responsible for guarding the sacrifice to Yu Xia. After the establishment of Yue State, it has maintained a relatively backward living custom and rarely contacted the Central Plains. At this time, it is the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. After more than 20 generations, it spread to Gou Jian's father, Yun Chang. When Yunshang was in power, he fought many battles with He Lv, the monarch of Wu. After the death of Yunshang, Gou Jian succeeded to the throne as the King of Yue.
Summary failure
In the third year (494 BC), Gou Jian heard that Fu Cha, King of Yue, was going to attack Yue. Gou Jian decided to attack the State of Wu first, and then sent his troops. Fan Li dissuaded him, but Gou Jian refused to listen and continued to send his troops. When Fuxi heard about this, he sent all elite troops to attack the Vietnamese army and beat the Vietnamese army out of the water at Fujiao.
Endure hardships to achieve some ambition.
After Gou Jian returned to China, he never forgot the humiliating scene. Gou Jian hung a gallbladder in his room, and every meal should be tasted bitter to remind himself not to forget the bitter and humiliating experience in Wu!
