Every day, children learn a historical story - Ping wang moved east

King Zhou You was killed and Ho Jing fell, and the princes everywhere learned that inuyasha had really entered Ho Kyo. Therefore, they came to the rescue of Hokkei with a large group of people and horses. The princes repelled Inuyasha and made the original crown prince Yiusu the Son of Heaven, the King of Zhouping, and then returned to their respective fiefdoms.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these princes left on the front foot, inuyasha came back on the back foot, and they often attacked. At that time, the palace of the Capital Division was burned down, and the national treasury was in deficit.

Moreover, a lot of land in the west has been occupied by Inuyasha, and the border beefire has been endless for many years. As a result, King Ping negotiated with his courtiers to move the capital to Luoyi (present-day He

South Luoyang). Zhou Gong objected, "Not good! Although Luoyi lived in the middle of the world, it was attacked on all sides, and on the left side of Hojing there were Qiushan and Hangu Pass, and on the right there were Longguo and Shuguo, and there were thousands of miles of fertile fields, which could definitely be called the country of Heavenly Palace. Now, if the great king wants to abandon Hojing and move the capital to Luoyi, the minister thinks that it is impossible! However, King Ping did not listen to the advice of the Duke of Zhou and moved the capital to Luoyi. King Ping moved east, and did not move the people of Tufeng and Erjing, so when Luoyi was established, he could only rely on the strength of the princes, so the power fell into the hands of the Marquis of Huan. Since then, the waitress have dominated each other and carried out more than five hundred years of carnage.

The eastward migration of the Ping King is an important event for historians to divide the time period, and it is also a turning point in the national situation of the Zhou Dynasty. After King Ping moved the capital, the area ruled by the Zhou royal family was very small and weak, Zhou Tianzi was unable to protect himself, it was difficult to resist foreign invasions, and he needed to rely on the protection of the princely states, resulting in the continuous decline of Zhou Tianzi's status, and the power of the princely states became increasingly strong, and Zheng, Qi, Song, Jin, Qin, Chu, Wu, Yue and other countries successively dominated the Central Plains. The King of Zhou nominally retained the status of "co-lord of the world", but in fact he could not command the princes at all, and some princes openly waged war with the King of Zhou; some princes nominally flaunted the banner of "Honoring the King", but in fact wanted to control the King of Zhou in their own hands and compete for the hegemony of the princes. The King of Zhou became a puppet of the overlord.

The Zhou Dynasty after King Ping moved his capital was called Eastern Zhou, while the period when King Wu of Zhou was founded and King You of Zhou was killed was called Western Zhou. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty can be roughly divided into two major stages: the former stage is called the "Spring and Autumn Period", and the latter stage is called the "Warring States Era".
