The Zhou Dynasty, which ruled the country under the feudal system.

 The Zhou Dynasty dominated China for about 1,000 years from the 11th century BC. The king of the Zhou Dynasty ruled over the capital and surrounding areas, and the rest of the area was distributed to the king's relatives or officials with great contributions. These people are called Jehu. His descendants also distributed and ruled all the territory they received to their subordinates without controlling it. This is called the feudal system.

  At first, there was not much conflict because the relationship between the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty and the feudal emperors was close. However, as time passed, the feudal emperors became more and more powerful. The feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty was basically similar to the family system. The royal family of the Zhou Dynasty becomes a large house, and the empires become a small house. As time went by, just as relatives separated from their 4th cousins, 6th cousins, 8th cousins, 12th cousins, etc., the empire also became distant from the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty. Some empires were more powerful than kings of the Zhou Dynasty. Until then, however, the Zhou Dynasty had more authority than other empires.

  However, after the weak Zhou moved the capital to the east in 770 B.C., there came a period of confusion in which the emperors ignored the Zhou and quarreled with each other. So as of 770 B.C., the former is called Seoju, and the latter is called Dongju. We commonly call the Dongju era the Spring and Autumn National Era.

During the Zhou Dynasty, the idea of heaven and virtue emerged as the ideology of governing the country. The idea of a thousand people is that heaven allows virtuous people to rule the country. I think politics is what makes virtuous people teach and realize those who do not. This idea became the ruling ideology of all Chinese dynasties.

  The Zhou society was divided into the ruling class of the emperor, empress, lord, godfather, and son, and the subject class of farmers, so the status order was strict. The ruling class ruled the country, held ancestral rites to heaven, and the ruling class farmed.

  In the Zhou Dynasty, the letters used during the Eun Dynasty were further developed, and the production of bronze ware increased. Economic development was also remarkable. Various crops were grown, cow-drawn plows were used for farming for the first time, and large-scale repair facilities were installed. Roads and canals were newly built and the transportation system was improved. It is said that it was during the Zhou Dynasty that chopsticks were first used when eating.
