When did the Zhou Dynasty perish?
The demise of the Zhou Dynasty: In the fifty-ninth year of Zhou Nanwang (256 BC), Qin Jun captured the South Korean cities Yangcheng and Shu Min, and the Western Zhou Dynasty betrayed Qin in fear, joined hands with the eastern governors, and led the world's elite out of Iraq to attack Qin, making it impossible for Qin to communicate with Yangcheng.

Zhao Haoqi, king of Qin Xiang, was very angry and sent a general to attack the Western Zhou Dynasty. The king of the Western Zhou Dynasty ran to the State of Qin, kowtowed and pleaded guilty, and dedicated all 36 cities and 30,000 people to Zhao Xiang, the king of Qin. Qin accepted the population and land provided by the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty and sent him back to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

In the same year, Zhou Nanwang died of grief and indignation, and the state power was controlled by Duke Zhou of the Western Zhou Dynasty and Duke Zhou of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, as well as Duke Luoyang of the Western Zhou Dynasty and Duke Gong Yi of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Shortly thereafter, Wen died in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty fled to the East.

Qin easily collected treasures such as Jiuding, and did not establish a new king. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty perished, and at the same time declared the end of the Zhou Dynasty which lasted for 800 years.

In the seventh year (249 BC), the king of Qin Zhuang destroyed the Duke of Zhou in the East. Things belong to the state of Qin for two weeks, and the sacrifices in the Zhou Dynasty are cut off.

The last king of the Zhou Dynasty was Zhou Nanwang Ji Yan (reigned from 3 16 to 256), whose surname was (n n), and he was the son of the 25th and last monarch of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and reigned from 3 16 to 256.
