China has a long history, of which the Xia Shang Zhou is one of its important historical periods. During this period, many important events and regime changes shaped the course of China's history. Let's review the historical events of Xia Shang Zhou.
The Xia Dynasty was the first recorded dynasty in Chinese history. According to legend, Yu established the Xia Dynasty in 2070 BC and established his capital capital Yangzhai (present-day Yuzhou, Henan) there. The Xia Dynasty ruled for about four hundred years, laying the foundation for the early development of Chinese history.
However, in 1600 BC, the rise of the Shang Dynasty ended the reign of the Xia Dynasty. Tang destroyed the Xia Dynasty and moved the capital to Hao (present-day Shangqiu, Henan), establishing the Shang Dynasty. The emergence of the Shang Dynasty marked a new stage in Chinese history.
During the Shang Dynasty, Pangeng moved its capital to Yin (present-day Xiaotun, Anyang, Henan), making the Shang Dynasty also known as Yin Shang. This period was represented by Pangeng and Dixin (King Chun), whose rule was buffeted by popular resistance and war.
In 1046 BC, King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, established the Zhou Dynasty, and set his capital at Hao (镐, in present-day Chang'an District, Xi'an, Shaanxi). The Zhou Dynasty implemented the system of dividing land and vassal marquises, which was an important political system in Chinese history.
The reign of the Zhou Dynasty did not end with King Wu of Zhou, who succeeded him by his son King Cheng and further implemented the system of great division with the assistance of Zhou Gongdan. During this period of the Zhou Dynasty, the political system was further perfected and the feudal system was consolidated.
In 841 BC, the rebellion of the countrymen forced King Li of Zhou to flee and summon the Duke of Zhou to manage the imperial government together, known as the "republican administration". This period is also the beginning of a precise era in Chinese history, marking the beginning of a new era in Chinese history.
In 771 BC, the Inujung attacked Western Zhou, and King Yu was killed at Lishan, and Western Zhou perished. Then, King Xuan of Zhou ascended the throne, abandoned Haojing, and moved the capital to Yanyi (雏邑, in modern Luoyang, Henan), beginning the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. At the same time, the Spring and Autumn period also unfolded, becoming an important historical stage in Chinese history.
During the Spring and Autumn period, the struggle for hegemony became the main theme. In 651 BC, Duke Huan of Qi became a prince of the Kwaiqiu Assembly and became the overlord of the princes of the Central Plains. Subsequently, Duke Wen of Jin, together with Qin, Qi, and Song, defeated the Chu army in Chengpu, and later dominated the Central Plains in the Tutu Alliance.
The Xia Shang Zhou was an important period in ancient Chinese history. From the establishment of the Xia Dynasty to the rise of the Shang Dynasty to the reign of the Zhou Dynasty, these historical events influenced the development of Chinese society and politics. They laid the foundation for the historical evolution of future generations, while also leaving a rich cultural and historical heritage.
Today, we can still better understand and understand China's historical traditions and feel the charm of ancient civilization through these historical events. Xia Shang Zhou is the link between the past and the present, and it is also an important chapter in our exploration of the roots of Chinese civilization.
