During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770 BC-256 BC), in the history of China, after the Western Zhou Dynasty, the vassal state established the formerly abandoned Prince Ijiu as the king, which was called Zhou Pingwang in history, and established the Eastern Zhou Dynasty with its capital in Luoyang, Henan Province, which was called "Eastern Zhou" in history, so as to distinguish it from the Western Zhou Dynasty. In the first half of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the princes fought for hegemony, which was called "Spring and Autumn Period" in history. In the second half of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Emperor of Zhou existed in name only, and the princes conquered each other, which was called "Warring States" in history.

After Pingtung moved eastward, its jurisdiction was greatly reduced, just like a small country. Coupled with the alleged killing of his father, his prestige among the princes is not as good as before. According to Zuo Zhuan, there were 140 vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period. Faced with the attack and merger between governors and the invasion of foreign countries on the border, Zhou Wang could not bear the responsibility of the Lord and often turned to some powerful governors for help. In this case, the powerful vassal usurped the hegemony position, while the vassal of the Central Plains invaded Siyi with the slogan of "respecting the king and resisting foreign countries" to defend themselves.

In the seventeenth year of King Xiang of Zhou (635 BC), there was a "sub-band chaos". King Xiang could not make peace and turned to Wen Gong for help, so he became the land of Bo De Hanoi. In the fifty-ninth year of King Kuai (256 BC), the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by Qin. In the same year, the king died of illness, Qin seized the dominant position, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty perished. Seven years later, the State of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was also destroyed by the State of Qin. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty * * * spread to the 25th King for 5 15 years. This period is a period of social system transformation in China, marked by the extensive use of iron.
