How could such a powerful business be ruined by Zhou? Because of this, he is so powerful that he monopolizes two-thirds of the world.

The surname Zhou originated from the Chinese nation. During the Xia and Shang dynasties, Zhou people were frequently harassed by nomadic barbarians, so they chose to move to Qishan, Shaanxi Province to settle down. Their main activity scope is in the Weihe River basin, which is today's Guanzhong area, taking Ji as the surname, and Zhou people inherit his surname. Zhou's ancestors were abandoned by Ji, also known as "Hou Ji", and enjoyed the praise of the goddess of agriculture.

Zhou people once lived in the Wugong area of Shaanxi for a long time. After Gongliu period, Zhou tribe moved to Guangxi (B, N) and settled here, taking the city as the country. It is worth noting that the Zhou tribe at that time did not have the concept of "Zhou". They live steadily in Jianshe and make a living by farming.

After Gong Liu's death, the position of tribal leader was passed down for nine generations, and when he arrived at the ancient father, he was invaded by foreign enemies. In order to stay away from suffering, Zhou tribe migrated from tapir, trudged all the way over mountains such as Qiliang, and finally came to Qishan in Weihe River basin. At that time, there was a plain in the south of Qishan, which was the earliest source of the concept of "Zhou".

In ancient Chinese characters, the earliest writing of the word "Zhou" is that the top is a field and the bottom is a mouth. The combination of the two gradually developed into the word "Zhou".

The fertile land where Zhou people lived and convenient irrigation provided a foundation for the rapid development of Zhou people. The Zhou family and Qi Xin worked together, and the leader Gu's father built a city. The influence of the Zhou family grew rapidly. By the 11th century BC, Zhou's national strength was unprecedented, which aroused the vigilance of Shang Dynasty.

At that time, the power of Zhou clan was not enough to fight against Shang Dynasty. In order to protect the tribe, Zhou clan leaders chose to form an alliance with Shang Dynasty, which occupied the Central Plains. Speaking of alliance is actually surrender, but this is not a bad thing. In their contacts with Shang Dynasty, Zhou people realized their own shortcomings, and they actively absorbed the cultural system of Shang Dynasty, especially the concept of destiny, which had a far-reaching impact on Zhou people.

Later, Zhou people followed the political system of Shang Dynasty and established their own country, which was the embryonic form of Zhou Dynasty. The concept of destiny, which originally belonged to Shang Dynasty, became the basis of Zhou Dynasty under the arrangement of Zhou Gongdan. For thousands of years, the concept of "the supremacy of imperial power" in feudal dynasties came from this.

After Gu's father died, he left three sons, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo, Taibo. Taber and Zhong Yong, knowing their father's wishes, offered to give the position of leader to their younger brother Ji Li. Calendar played a dominant role in the Zhou Dynasty and had the closest relationship with the Shang Dynasty. In order to win over the calendar, Shang made it a "priest" and married it, and the relationship between the two sides entered a "honeymoon period".

The ingratiating attitude of Shang Dynasty was related to Zhou's growing strength. It should be noted that after years of development, Zhou has become a powerful country under the Shang Dynasty. Shang Wang chose to give preferential treatment to the monarch for the calendar week, apparently because he didn't want to fight both sides. Even if Zhou can be eliminated, the Shang Dynasty will be weakened. Therefore, under such tacit understanding, the relationship between the two sides has become closer.

However, this situation did not last long, and a series of actions after the Zhou Dynasty disrupted the plans of the Shang Dynasty. At the instigation of Zhou, Zhou annexed the neighboring small countries, mainly targeting the pro-business vassal countries. This direct provocation made businessmen very angry. As punishment, he ordered Ji Li to be arrested and executed on the spot.

Ji Li's death was a great blow to Zhou, and the hatred between Shang Dynasty and Zhou clan was formally formed from this moment. In fact, from a historical point of view, on the one hand, the growing Zhou Dynasty, and on the other hand, the declining Shang Dynasty, it is inevitable that the old and the new will alternate, and sooner or later the two sides will break. After Ji Li's death, his son Ji Chang succeeded to the throne, which became Zhou Wenwang.

Zhou Wenwang was determined to attack the Zhou Dynasty, but the strength of the Zhou Dynasty was far from that of the Shang Dynasty, so he had to continue to surrender and hide his strength. Although the Shang Dynasty killed Ji Li, it was still worried about Zhou Guo. It ordered Zhou Wenwang to be imprisoned, killed his son to cook soup and forced King Wen to drink it. Later, Zhou's courtiers exchanged beautiful women and jewels to save King Wen. This near-death experience strengthened King Wen's determination to attack.

After returning to Zhou, he strongly advocated the development of production in China, searched for fugitive slaves in China, and prevented the loss of working population. The foreign policy was to invade, expand and annex several small countries, and the army once approached the sphere of influence of Shang Dynasty. At this time, the Zhou dynasty is not what it used to be, accounting for two-thirds of the world, and morale is booming. Zhou Wenwang moved its capital from Joo Won? to the west bank of Fengshui, and established Fengdu.

Under the leadership of Zhou, Zhou's strength was unprecedented, and he had the capital to compete with Shang Dynasty. After the death of King Wen, his son Ji Fa acceded to the throne as Zhou Wuwang. 1 1 century BC, Zhou Wuwang led 300 chariots, 3,000 warriors and 45,000 soldiers to conquer the Shang Dynasty. The Shang dynasty sent 700 thousand troops, and the two sides fought in the land of konoha.

From the data alone, the strength difference between the two sides is dozens of times, and the contrast is very wide. However, this war ended in the fiasco of the Shang army, Shang Zhouwang Lutai set himself on fire, and the Shang Dynasty perished. The so-called "700,000 troops" were basically forced to come. Not long after the battle, the Shang army defected in large numbers, which shows that the Shang Dynasty was wiped out by itself.

After King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he took control of the original territory of the Shang Dynasty, and all the governors in the four directions surrendered. Now there is a problem. In the face of such a vast territory, how can he achieve effective control? Finally, the Zhou Dynasty formulated a policy, namely "enfeoffment system". He sent his own people and some founding heroes to various places and established a vassal state.

These vassal States were equivalent to the strongholds of the Zhou Dynasty controlling a large territory, and their powers were decentralized, which really consolidated their rule in a short time. However, with the rise of the power of the vassal States, the rule of the Zhou Dynasty was bound to face threats. After Zhou Wuwang's death, his son succeeded to the throne, namely Zhou Chengwang. However, Zhou Chengwang is still young, and the Duke of Zhou is in charge of politics.

This incident aroused the dissatisfaction of governors Guan Shu and Cai Shu, and spread rumors everywhere, saying that the Duke of Zhou rebelled and wanted to usurp the throne. As we all know, the Duke of Zhou assisted the young master, which was entrusted by Zhou Wuwang. As a man, Duke Zhou is a well-known courtier and doesn't believe the rumors spread by the outside world. When Cai Shu and Cai Shu saw the plot failed, they joined the rebellion of Wu Geng, Xu, Yan and other countries.

In the same year, the Duke of Zhou led an army to crusade eastward, and it took three years to finally put down the rebellion. Wu Geng and Guan Shu were killed, while Cai Shu was exiled to the north. The victory of the crusade played a great role in maintaining the rule of the Zhou Dynasty, scaring off many people who were eager to move.

When Zhou Wuwang was alive, he wanted to build a new capital in the Luo Yi River area, but he died suddenly before implementation. After taking office, Zhou Chengwang followed his parents' legacy and ordered the establishment of a new city in Luoyang to promote the future rule of the newly conquered areas. Soon, Luoyi was built, which had the same function as Haojing in Wuwang period and belonged to the political, cultural and military center of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Through constant foreign wars, the Zhou dynasty controlled a large territory, reaching Pakistan, Pu, Deng and Chu in the south. North to Sushen, Yan and Bo; East to Binhai; As far as Gansu and Qinghai in the west, the total territory area has exceeded that of Shang Dynasty. Feudal princes all over the country need to appear before the emperor regularly and have the responsibility to protect the royal family.

In addition, the vassal States also need to pay tribute to the son of heaven, and those who refuse will be punished. In the early days, the Zhou Dynasty's control over the vassal states could still play a role, but with the passage of time, the Zhou Dynasty's control became a decoration. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the vassal States have followed suit, developing their forces in the fiefs and dividing the land for themselves without authorization.

The change of land from public ownership to private ownership has undoubtedly caused a huge impact on the well field system.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the social economy ushered in rapid development. With the import of a large number of slaves, the output exceeded the demand and various handicrafts reached their peak. The bronze industry has also ushered in an opportunity for development, and the production scale has been expanding. Not only did Zhou have bronze workshops, but every vassal state also had its own bronze workshops.

With more workshops, the output of bronze will naturally increase, and the scope of application will be wide. You can see bronze in your daily life. It is worth mentioning that the rapid development of bronze industry has promoted the popularization of characters. Many bronzes produced in the Western Zhou Dynasty are engraved with inscriptions, and most of them record social events at that time.

It can be said that during the period of stable rule, the Western Zhou Dynasty achieved cross-era development and made achievements in agriculture, animal husbandry, textile, metallurgy, architecture, astronomy and geography. Archaeologists once found artificial iron in a tomb in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, which shows that in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the ancients had the ability to smelt iron artificially.

During the period of Zhou Liwang, the Emperor was fatuous and cruel, and he was dissolute. He not only exploited the people, but also ordered the whole country not to discuss state affairs. Under this high-handed rule, the people of China finally launched a riot to overthrow the rule of Zhou Liwang. In 828 BC, Zhou Xuanwang succeeded to the throne. He learned from his predecessor and sought reform.

At that time, external military forces frequently invaded the territory, and Zhou Xuanwang launched a defensive war against the military forces, and finally won. However, these were not enough to save the decline of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and social contradictions were deeply rooted, and Zhou Xuanwang could do nothing.

As a Central Plains country, Zhou Dynasty occupied fertile land and was often invaded by barbarians from outside. It is precisely because of this that the Zhou Dynasty has been at war with other countries since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Jianghan Valley is the base for barbarians to survive. King Zhao of Zhou led the army to conquer the southern barbarians, and as a result, he met with strong resistance. Finally, King Zhao of Zhou died, and the army of the Zhou Dynasty was wiped out.

This failure was a heavy blow to the Zhou Dynasty, and it lost the initiative to control the southern countries. Later, both Zhou Muwang and Zhou Xuanwang led the army south, but they did not win a major victory. Ugly Hou Yufang was enslaved by the Zhou Dynasty, led by Nan and Dong Yi, and widely divided into South China and East China. All the way invincible, captured the Luoyi area in a short time.

Zhou Tianzi sent two armies to stop the enemy, and both were defeated. Under the crisis, governors with the same surname from all over the country sent troops to reinforce, and finally repelled the allied forces in Hou Yu. The greatest threat to the Western Zhou Dynasty was Gourong, which developed and grew in the northwest, but the Western Zhou Dynasty in the Central Plains gradually declined.

Zhou Xuanwang's son, whose name is Zhou Youwang, likes being praised very much. He planned to get rid of the then Prince Yijiu and make Congyou's son Fu Bo his successor. However, Yijiu's biological mother is Shen Hou's daughter. When Shen Hou learned what Zhou Youwang had done, he was very angry. He privately joined dogs to attack the Western Zhou Dynasty, and killed Zhou Youwang in Lishan, and the Western Zhou Dynasty perished.

Appropriate mortar acceded to the throne with the support of local governors, moved to Luoyi and established the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The first half of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was called the Spring and Autumn Period. In 453 BC, after the Han, Zhao and Wei clans joined hands to destroy the branch, the three clans were divided into Jin and the princes conquered each other, which was called the Warring States. In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, * * * spread to the 25th King for 5 15 years. This period is a period of social system transformation in China.
