the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are mainly divided into the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with the watershed in 453 BC. In 453 BC, Han, Zhao and Wei wiped out Zhi's family and enfeoffed Jin as a symbol. The Spring and Autumn Period is mainly from 770 BC to 476 BC, and the Warring States Period is from 475 BC to 22 BC1year. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the main countries were Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei and Qin, and finally Qin unified the six countries.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the influence of the King of Zhou weakened, so feuds between princes continued. Among them, Qi Huangong, Jin Wengong, Song Xianggong, Qin Mugong and Chu Zhuangwang successively dominated, which was called "the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period" in history. Then, Han, Zhao and Wei carved up the state of Jin after destroying the Zhi family, so countries began to scuffle. Although the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were unstable, it was actually an era in which a hundred schools of thought contended, talented people came forth in large numbers and the academic atmosphere was active.
