At the beginning of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty went downhill, the royal family declined, the power was marginalized, the vassal states conquered each other, and wars were frequent. Small vassal States were annexed one after another, and powerful vassal States were unified in some areas. The hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period reflected the collapse of the enfeoffment system.

Introduction to the Spring and Autumn Hegemony:

During the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), the hegemony took place during the disintegration of slave society. While the throne declined, some vassal States became stronger. In order to seize more land, property and population, and strive to be the overlord of the world and other countries, a long-term war for hegemony has been waged among several governors. In the process of hegemony, Qi Huangong, Jin Wengong, Chu Zhuangwang, the King of Wu He Lv and the King of Yue Gou Jian successively dominated, which was called "the Five Overlords in the Spring and Autumn Period" in history.

Reasons for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period:

"The productive forces determine the relations of production, and the economic base determines the superstructure." During the Spring and Autumn Period, due to the disintegration of the well field system, the emergence of the first tax acre and the use of iron Niu Geng, a large number of surplus books appeared in the vassal States, which enabled them to develop local economy and military affairs. On the contrary, the royal family declined in the Zhou Dynasty! Then, in rich countries, reforms such as Guan Zhong of Qi State, Zhong Er of Jin State and Qin Guoxiao appeared! But in the final analysis, it is still a rich slave country, Qiang Bing.
