cool or different
The dynasty was known for using money instead of trade. There
accomplishments were Chinas longest-ruling dynasty.
More Accomplishments The Zhou Dynasty includes two periods:
Western Zhou (11th century BC to 771 BC) and Eastern Zhou (770 BC
to 221 BC). It is divided because the Western Zhou Dynasty's
capital Haojing (in present Xian of Shaanxi Province) lies to the
west of the Eastern Zhou's capital Luoyi (present Luoyang in Henan
Province).
More accomplishmentsThe period was a time of war but also of
culture advances. The Zhou wawang defeated the Shang dynasty and
established the Zhou dynasty. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was ruled by
Emperor Ping (Zhou Pingwang). After the interior war, it was
divided into the Spring and Autumn Period (770BC-476BC), and the
Warring States Period (476BC-221BC). Each of the periods were
characterized by turbulent wars and featured renowned strategists.
When the dynasty progressed into the Spring and Autumn Periods,
slave society came to an end and a totally new society feudal
society was gradually formed.
How it Ended With the royal line broken, the power of the Zhou
court gradually diminished, and the fragmentation of the kingdom
accelerated. From Ping Wang onwards, the Zhou kings ruled in name
only, with true power lying in the hands of powerful nobles.
Towards the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the nobles did not even bother
to acknowledge the Ji family symbolically, rebelled and declared
themselves to be kings. The dynasty was ended in 256 BC, before Qin
Shi Huang's unification of China in 221 BC, when the last king of
Zhou died and his sons did not proclaim the nominal titles of King
of China. So it ended cause there were no more members of the
family line.
Another interesting factThe Zhou Dynasty would become the
longest lasting dynasty in Chinese history, lasting over 800 years.
