When is the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770 BC-256 BC) was a dynasty in the history of China. After the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the former abandoned Prince Ijiu of the vassal state became king, known as Zhou Pingwang in history, and moved to Luoyi (now Luoyang, Henan Province) in the east, known as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in history.

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.

After Zhou Pingwang moved eastward, its jurisdiction was greatly reduced and it became a small country. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were 140 vassal states. The princes attacked and merged with each other, and the son of heaven could not bear the responsibility of co-owner, so he often asked some powerful princes for help. In this case, the powerful vassals usurped the hegemony, and the Central Plains vassals invaded Siyi under the slogan of "respecting the king and resisting foreign countries" and joined forces to defend themselves.

In the seventeenth year of King Xiang of Zhou (635 BC), there was a sub-belt chaos, and King Xiang of Zhou could not make peace. He turned to Jin Wengong for help, and Wen Gong ruled Shu Dai, so he got the land in Hanoi for Bo. In the twentieth year of King Xiang of Zhou (632 BC), King Xiang was forced by Jin Wengong to establish a land alliance in Heyang.

When Zhou Wangkao was in power, the country became weaker and weaker. It was divided into the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty.

In the eighth year of Zhou Nanwang (307 BC), the State of Qin attacked South Korea through the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and neither side of the Zhou people dared to offend, so they were in a dilemma. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty are located between great powers, so they can't fight together, but attack each other and kill each other. In the fifty-ninth year of Zhou Nanwang (256 BC), the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by the State of Qin. In the same year, he died of illness and died in Zhou. Seven years later, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was also destroyed by the State of Qin.
