Common card · No. 251679

Yue (Chinese: 越), also known as Yuyue (於越 or 于越), was a state in ancient China which existed during the first millennium BC – the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods of China's Zhou dynasty – in the modern provinces of Zhejiang, Shanghai and Jiangsu. Its original capital was Kuaiji (modern Shaoxing); after its conquest of Wu, Yue relocated its court north to the city of Wu (modern-day Suzhou). Yue's territory extended north to Lake Tai, west to Quzhou, and southeast to the Xianxia Mountains, the Dapan Mountains, and the Tiantai Mountains. Yue was conquered by Chu in 333 BC.
