Dong'ou

Dong'ou (traditional Chinese: 東甌; simplified Chinese: 东瓯; pinyin: Dōng'ōu), also known as Ouyue (traditional Chinese: 甌越; simplified Chinese: 瓯越; pinyin: Ōuyuè), was an ancient kingdom in modern Wenzhou and Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, China. The realm of Dong'ou was given to Zou Yao by Emperor Gaozu of Han in 192 BC. During the Han campaigns against Minyue in 138 BC, the king of Dong'ou no longer wished to live in his realm after the incident, having submitted himself in an prostrating gesture, which was indicative of his final acquiescence as a mere supplicant to have him and his people's eventual fates to be absorbed into the Han empire.
