How did the Eastern Zhou Dynasty begin?
The cruelty and decay of the ruling clique in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, as well as the sharp situation of ethnic and class contradictions at that time, can be seen in some chapters of The Book of Songs, Xiaoya and Guoyu. The regime of the Western Zhou Dynasty was finally wiped out by its neighboring "Gourong" ethnic group in 77 1 year BC. In 770 BC, Zhou Pingwang moved the capital of the Zhou Dynasty from Haojing in the southwest of Xi, Shaanxi Province to Luoyang, Henan Province, which was the beginning of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in history.
