Hubei is actually related to the early Western Zhou Dynasty. Why does Hubei's abbreviation "E" come from the unknown country of the Western Zhou Dynasty?

"E" came from the early Western Zhou Dynasty, near Suizhou. Ehou, located in Suizhou City, Hubei Province, is the earliest unearthed document.

Hubei is closely related to the Shang royal family. Hubei was also used as a military exercise venue for Shang Wang, but this did not give any preferential treatment to Hubei Hou. Hou of Hubei angered Zhou Wang by speaking out boldly, and was killed.

After Zhou replaced Shang, Hubei did not perish, but was recognized by others. Although there is no record of Hubei in the Zhou Dynasty in the history books, we can get the answer from the unearthed Hubei wares. Moreover, it is entirely possible for Hubei Gong to continue to exist by winning the hearts and minds of Zhou Wuwang through benevolence and righteousness. However, due to the system of the Zhou Dynasty, Hubei was not in its original place, but moved to a far place.

By the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty, the state of Hubei and the royal family of the Western Zhou Dynasty had become enemies. Although the royal family declined in the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty, there were still governors to support the Zhou royal family. It is not something that Hubei can resist, but this hostile relationship has left Hubei devastated. However, they did not disappear completely, but split into many branches, scattered in the cracks of the country. The site of Ewangcheng (Daye, Hubei Province) was caused by the southward migration of Hubei people. After Hubei, there was a Hubei surname, which was the earliest one.

This is also the reason why Hubei is related to the early Western Zhou Dynasty. Hubei was once a vassal and enemy of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
