2. It refers to the last years of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty: around 260 BC, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty perished in 256 BC, and the last emperor was King Yun Zhou.

Second, a brief introduction to the Zhou Dynasty:

The Zhou Dynasty (65438 BC +065438 BC+0 century-256 BC) is the dynasty following the Shang Dynasty in China history. Zhou is also the creator and original referent of the word "Huaxia". In the Zhou Dynasty, there were 37 kings in 30 generations, which was about 79 1 year, and the other was 868. The difference between the two is nearly one hundred years. The problem is that the founding year of the Zhou Dynasty has never been confirmed.

The Zhou Dynasty is divided into two periods: the Western Zhou Dynasty (165438+mid-20th century -77 1 year ago) and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770-256 years ago). The Western Zhou Dynasty was established by Ji Fa, Zhou Wuwang, in the fifth year of Wang, with Haojiang as its capital and Luoyi as its east. In 770 BC, Pingdong moved its capital to Luoyi, and this period of the Zhou Dynasty was called the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty, also known as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, is divided into two parts. The Zhou Dynasty was the first feudal dynasty in China. History books often refer to the Western and Eastern Zhou Dynasties as two weeks.

Before the demise of Shang Dynasty, Zhou tribe originated from Huaxia (Han nationality). Due to the intrusion of nomadic tribes such as Rong and Di, Gu Gongqi (Qi D·M 4N), the leader of Zhou tribe, led Zhou people to settle in the lower plain of Qishan (now the northeast of Qishan County, Shaanxi Province). His ancestors who lived in the Weihe River valley (Guanzhong area of Shaanxi Province) abandoned Hou Ji and were called the god of agriculture. Shuowen said that "the Yellow Emperor lived in Jishui (said to be Qishui River in Wugong County, central Shaanxi Province, and said to be near huangling county in northern Shaanxi Province, and both rivers were tributaries of Weihe River), taking Ji as the surname, and Zhou people inherited his surname", and the language was ancient Chinese. In the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wang was the "Lord of the World".

Third, the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

In 78 1 year BC, Zhou Youwang succeeded to the throne, and Guo Shifu, who had a good job, was in power, and his political affairs were corrupt, and the Chinese people complained bitterly. In the third year of Wang You (779 BC), the sixth aid to conquer Dijon failed; At the same time, natural disasters were frequent, and the internal and external affairs of the Zhou Dynasty were difficult. After you Wang abolished Zheng, the daughter of Shen Hou married the Prince, and later praised her beauty, and her son was the Prince. On September 19, he fled to the state of Shen, and Shen Hou joined forces with Quan Rong to attack the King of You. Both in the play and in the play were killed by the dog Rong. Before 77 1, the Western Zhou Dynasty perished.

Fourth, the demise of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

King Zhou Kun listened to Chu Xiaolie's words and called six countries to send troops to attack Qin in the name of the son of heaven, but they failed because of their non-cooperation. In 256 BC, the Qin Dynasty defeated Luoyi and killed Zhou Nanwang, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty perished. In 246 BC, the king of Qin (i.e. Ying Zheng, the first Qin Emperor) ascended the throne. He appointed Liao Wei, Reese and others, stepped up the pace of unification, bribed the ministers of the six countries with money, disrupted the deployment of the six countries, and sent troops to the East for years. After many years of war, from the Qin Dynasty's annihilation of Korea in 230 BC to the demise of Qi in 22 1 BC, the six eastern countries were unified by Qin. China has achieved the reunification of the Chinese nation and established a centralized country.
