The Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods (春秋战国时期 chūnqiū zhànguó shíqī) saw Shanrong(山戎 shānróng) nationality frequently push deeply into the border area of its neighboring states (Yan State on the south, Qi State on the east, Zhao State on the west) to loot, relying on the mightiness of his national power. Shanrong turned out to be a nuisance for years to these three marquisates, especially a big trouble to Yan.

The power center of Yan moved southward gradually and the state power became weaker and weaker.
