The Zhou Dynasty (65438 BC+0046 BC-256 BC) was the third and last hereditary slavery dynasty in China's history after the Shang Dynasty, and then Qin and Han Dynasties began to become a unified country with a unified government from the central government to the local government. 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 Zhou Wuwang and Ji Fa during the reign of Wang Wu, with Haojiang (Zhou Zong) as its capital and Luoyi as its east. In 770 BC (the first year of Zhou Pingwang), Pingdong moved eastward, and Luoyi was its capital. Since then, this period of the Zhou Dynasty has been called the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
As we all know, the enemy attacked the Haojiang River and died. The prince was supported by the gods, Lu, Jin and Qin, and the title of Luoyang was still Zhou. In order to distinguish Hao Jing from later generations, it was called "Eastern Zhou Dynasty". The relationship between the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty is continuous. After you Wang was killed, Shen Hou, Lu Hou and Xu Wengong were former princes and later princes. When Haojing experienced war, the palace was dilapidated, and Ji Wang was barren, which was difficult to recover for a while, while the dog Rong still scattered around Haojing, posing a serious threat to it.
Luoyi has become an important political, economic and military center since it was built as the eastern capital by the Duke of Zhou, ranking second only to Haojing, the western capital. So King Ping decided to move the capital to the East, and the Zhou Dynasty was called the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
