The Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 ~ 77 1 year ago) was a historical dynasty in China. It took 12 generations from the demise of businessmen to the demise of others. 1 1 century BC, the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, the founding of the People's Republic of China was celebrated in Zhou Dynasty, and its capital was high (east of Fenghe River in Chang 'an, Shaanxi Province). After Zhou Chengwang took power, he established his capital as Zhou (Luoyang, Henan) and lived in China, making Dafeng a vassal, ordering the Duke of Zhou to make an expedition to the east and establish a system of rites and music, thus strengthening the rule of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
During the reign of Zhou Chengwang and Zhou Kangwang, the society was stable and the people lived in harmony, and "the punishment was wrong for more than forty years", which is called "the rule of Cheng Kang" in history. After Zhou Yiwang succeeded to the throne, politics became increasingly corrupt and the national situation declined. Because Xirong was unable to attack repeatedly, he was forced to move the capital to Goushan (southeast of Xingping, Shaanxi). Before and after Zhou Liwang, private land developed day by day, and the uprising of China people in 84 1 BC heralded the coming of slavery crisis, and the kingship declined from then on.
The absence of Zhou Xuanwang's thousand acres marked the collapse of the Jing Tian system during Wang Ji's reign. In 77 BC1year, Zhou Youwang was killed by Quan Rong and Shen Hou. The following year, his drought-striken fields moved to Luoyi, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty began.
The name of the ruling dynasty
In addition to the name of the dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty is also the name of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, that is, the Hou State of the Western Zhou Dynasty (367-256 BC), which was the product of the royal division at the end of the Warring States Period. In the Warring States Policy, there are records of "the dispute between the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty" and "the success of the Western Zhou Dynasty". Obviously, the "Western Zhou Dynasty" that appeared in the Warring States period was not the Western Zhou Dynasty that perished in 77 1 BC.
But the Western Zhou Dynasty. In 367 BC, the King of Zhou Dynasty rebelled, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty split in the capital. The border between the two countries is the intersection of the Luo Yi River, belonging to the Western Zhou Dynasty as the capital and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty as the capital. After Monday, Zhou Nanwang, the son of heaven, lost his health care place, lived alone in Zhoucheng, and relied on the Western Zhou Dynasty for economy.
In 256 BC, Zhao Xiang, king of Qin, conquered Luoyang, the royal city of the Zhou Dynasty, and conquered the Western Zhou Dynasty. Zhou Nanwang and King Zhou were abandoned as civilians and moved to Zhoucheng and Wangcheng. Soon after his death in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Qin put the "Jiuding" treasure symbolizing imperial power in Xianyang. Zhou was no longer the king, and historians began to think of the year number.
