Ju was an ancient Chinese city of the Warring States period, in what is today Ju County in Rizhao, Shandong. The State of Ju began as a vassal state of the Zhou dynasty in the Spring and Autumn period and eventually fell to the State of Qi, and Ju became a city of Qi. In 284 BC the State of Yan attacked Qi with forces under Yue Yi and cornered Qi inside Ju, its final stronghold, but Qi still counterattacked under Tian Dan and retook its lost territory within five years. The idiom meaning do not forget what happened in Ju recalls that counterattack, and the Republic of China government used it after relocating to Taiwan to express the aim of retaking the mainland.
