HUBEI

Hubei, a province in central China and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, has so many lakes that it has acquired the nickname, 'Province of a Thousand Lakes'. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, Hubei was the territory of the State of Chu. Literature represented by the Songs of the South compiled by the patriotic poet Qu Yuan, and music composed for bell chimes unearthed from the tomb of Marquis of Zeng in 1978, are epitomes of the famed culture associated with the ancient state of Chu. During the Three Kingdoms. Period (220-280) Hubei became a major battlefield among warring strategists, major battles including the Battle of Yiling and the Battle of Chibi. During the Tang and Song (618-1279), part of Hubei fell under the jurisdiction of Ezhou Prefecture. Hence the abbreviation of Hubei: E.
