Zhou Jiyi, 403 BC to 369 BC, a total of thirty-five years. Of these thirty-five years, 4 years are not recorded, and 31 years are major events.
Why does the history of this book begin in 403 BC? That was the year before King Zhou Weilie's death. Because of this year, a major event occurred, that is, Zhou Tianzi first made the powerful subjects in the subordinate princes as princes. The occurrence of this incident was regarded by Sima Guang as a prelude to the demise of the Zhou Dynasty, because Zhou Tianzi recognized the legitimacy of the rebellious courtiers and thieves, and the destruction of the ruling order was extremely serious, which was a wake-up call for all the kings in the future.
In the past thirty-five years, the Zhou Dynasty has replaced 4 heavenly sons, starting from the second year before the death of King Weilie of Zhou, and through the death of King An of Zhou and King Lie of Zhou, King Xian of Zhou has ascended the throne.

In the past thirty-five years, there have been 34 wars, 13 times in the State of Wei, 11 times in the State of Qi, 10 times in the State of Zhao, 8 times in Korea, 6 times in the State of Zheng, 5 times in the State of Qin, 4 times in the State of Lu and The State of Chu, 2 times each in the State of Jin, Shu, Yan and Wei, 1 time in the State of Song, and 1 time in the State of Rong Di. From the number of times wars were launched or endured wars, it can be seen that the three kingdoms of Wei, Qi, and Zhao were the great powers of the world.
In thirty-five years, there have been four eclipses, one of which is a total solar eclipse. A geological disaster occurred, which caused a landslide and formed a dammed lake.
In the past thirty-five years, there has been the rise and death of Wu Qi, who is extremely eager to succeed; Nie Zheng, one of the four great assassins of the Spring and Autumn Warring States, who assassinated Han Xiangxia's tired pifu yong; and after several generations of efforts, he finally changed the dynasty with one blow. Everything in the past thirty-five years was written by Sima Guang in a few thousand words, which was far from enough.
