Spring and Autumn and Warring States
"The Legend of the Heroes of King Zhao Wuling" is written in the period of King Zhao Wuling, with Handan as the background, describing the period of Ming monarchs, virtuous ministers, good generals, strategists, and hundreds of schools, and the turbulent Warring States period of 30 years. Before I knew it, six volumes were written. So? Today, I will briefly talk about the Zhou Dynasty, and also talk about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Whether it is the Spring and Autumn Period, or the Warring States. In this era, it is always heart-pounding and breathtaking.
The Zhou Dynasty was a new dynasty born after the Xia Shang dynasty and the third hereditary slave dynasty in history. In 1406 B.C., King Wu conquered the city and set the capital of Hojing. In 256 BC, Qin broke Luoyi and killed King Zhou. Seven years later, Qin conquered the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, and the Zhou Dynasty fell. The Zhou Dynasty had a total of 30 generations and 37 kings, totaling about 806 years.
The Zhou Dynasty was divided into Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou.
In 1406 B.C., King Wu conquered the capital and set the capital of Haojing; In 771 B.C., the dog Rong broke through Haojing, and King Zhou You died at the foot of Lishan Mountain. This period is called the Western Zhou, or Zong Zhou. The Western Zhou Dynasty has experienced 11 generations and 12 kings, and has gone through 275 years.
In 770 B.C., Hojing was forced by the dog Rong, and although the king of Zhou Ping recovered the territory, he was afraid of the power of the dog Rong. So, King Zhou Ping went to the eastern capital and set the capital Luoyi. In 256 BC, Qin broke Luoyi and killed the king of Zhou. This period is called the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, or Cheng Zhou. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty passed down a total of 25 kings, which lasted 531 years. King Zhou Ping moved eastward and set the capital at Luoyi. However, due to the improper enthronement of King Zhou Ping, the princes of the world were not convinced. As a result, this era began to collapse and be happy. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was further divided into the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
From 770 BC to 477 BC, this period is known as the Spring and Autumn Period.
The Spring and Autumn Period was named after Confucius's revision of the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period of 242 years, 43 monarchs were killed by their subordinates or enemy countries, 52 vassal states were destroyed, there were more than 480 large and small wars, and more than 450 princes' court appointments and alliances. During this period, the Zhou dynasty continued to decline, and the princes competed for hegemony. Of course? At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, the main achievement of Zheng Zhuang Gong was that the Quartet was the dimension and dominated the princes. Especially in the battle of Xiangge, Zhou Tianzi's prestige was discredited, and Zheng Zhuang's public prestige was greatly enhanced. Zheng Zhuang Gong is known as the little overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the power of the King of Zhou weakened, and the princes were in dispute, so there were five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period. The five tyrants refer to the Duke of Qi Heng, the Duke of Wen of Jin, the King of Chuzhuang, the King of Wu, and the King of Yue. During this period, several major events took place.
1. Qi Heng respected the king, Jiukuang the world, established the alliance system, and became the first hegemon of the princes
2. In the dispute between Song and Chu, Song Xianggong refused to attack half-crossing, and lost to Chu because of benevolence and righteousness, and laughed at the princes
3. The Battle of Chengpu of Jin Wen defeated the Chu State, held the Alliance of Practicing the Land, and became the overlord of the Central Plains
4, Qin Mugong dominates Xirong
5. King Chuzhuang won the Central Plains
6. The Jinchu War and the Soldiers' Alliance
7, Wu Yue dominates the southeast. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Wu State broke through the Chu capital and became the first country to break through the country of ten thousand times. Goujian, the king of Yue, tried his courage in lying on his salary, attacked the state of Wu, and went north to meet with Qi and Jin to meet Yu Xu, becoming the last overlord.
8. The three families were divided into Jin, and the arrival of the Warring States Period
From 476 BC to 221 BC, this period is called the Warring States period.
The Warring States Period was named because Liu Xiang of the Western Han Dynasty compiled various materials of this period of history into a book and named it "Warring States Policy". During this period, wars were frequent, and large countries tried to be strong, and small countries tried to survive. In the 255 years of the Warring States period, there were 230 large and small wars. The dotted princes no longer exist, and eventually the world will be unified.
There were five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, and seven heroes in the Warring States. The so-called Seven Xiongs refer to Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan, Qi, Qin, and Chu.
During the Warring States period, the princes were divided and fought with each other, and the international community was very unstable. In the early Warring States period, there were still more than a dozen countries in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, among which Qi, Jin, Chu, and Yue were the strongest, and they had the tendency to divide the world.
By the middle of the Warring States period, the remaining seven major powers, Qin, Chu, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qi, and Yan, were known as the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. There are still Eastern Zhou, Song, Wei, Zhongshan, Lu, Teng, Zou, Fei and so on. There are also ethnic minority forces at the junction with Qixiong, Linhu, Loufu, Donghu, Xiongnu, Yiqu, Bashu in the south and southeast Yue and Fujian.
During the Warring States Period, the biggest feature was that the Seven Heroes set off changes in their own country in order to become strong.
1. Li Kui and Wu Qi of Wei changed the law and became the first hegemon. Take the west of the Qin River in the west, cross Zhao in the north to destroy Zhongshan, attack Chu in the south, and attack Qi in the east.
2. Zhao Liehou used Xiangbang Gongzhong Company to carry out reforms
3. The king of Chu mourned the use of Wu Qi to implement the Wu Qi change method
4. King Qi Wei used Zou Ji to "revise the law and supervise the traitors" to implement reforms, Maling and Guilin, defeated the Wei State, and established the status of an eastern power.
5, Han Zhaohou used Shen to do no harm, and changed the law with "technique".
6. Qin Xiaogong appointed Shang Ying and changed the law twice.
7, Yan Zhaowang gold recruitment
8, Zhao Wuling Wang Hu Fu cavalry shooting
The combination of vertical and horizontal is also a characteristic of the Warring States Period.
In the era of the Warring States Period, there were many ups and downs, and there were many talents. Li Kui of the Legalists; Sun Bin of the soldier's family; Gongsun Yan, Zhang Yi, and Chen Zhen of the Zongheng family; Famous Benevolence; Confucianism's Meng Ke and other sons and hundreds of schools of thought are also active on the stage.
There are hundreds of schools, only I am the only one. The era of the Warring States period is the era that you yearn for.
