During the Warring States Period, the King of Zhou was unable to support the overall situation. For example, during the reign of Zhou Nanwang Ming Ji Yan, the last king of Zhou, the royal family of Zhou was already very weak, and he ruled only 30 or 40 cities with a population of over 30,000.

Also divided into "Eastern Zhou" and "Western Zhou" (note). The two parts were divided by the Duke of East Zhou and the Duke of West Zhou, and Ji Yan lived in the "Western Zhou Dynasty" (that is, the king city). I didn't want to do nothing, but I wanted to do or die with Qin. As a result, no other governors responded accordingly, and finally he had to surrender to the state of Qin.

Zhao Haoqi of Qin surrendered, made him Duke of Zhou, ordered him to live in Liangcheng (now south of Hancheng County, Shaanxi Province), and took away Jiuding treasure, a symbol of state power. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was declared extinct.
