The Western Zhou Dynasty was a dynasty in the history of China. 1 1 century BC, the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, the founding of the People's Republic of China was celebrated in Zhou Dynasty, and its capital was high (east of Fenghe River in Chang 'an, Shaanxi Province). After Zhou Chengwang took power, he established his capital as Zhou (Luoyang, Henan) and lived in China, making Dafeng a vassal, ordering the Duke of Zhou to make an expedition to the east and establish a system of rites and music, thus strengthening the rule of the Western Zhou Dynasty. During the reign of Zhou Chengwang and Zhou Kangwang, the society was stable and the people lived in harmony, and "the punishment was wrong for more than forty years", which is called "the rule of Cheng Kang" in history.

After Zhou Yiwang succeeded to the throne, politics became increasingly corrupt and the national situation declined. Because Xirong was unable to attack repeatedly, he was forced to move the capital to Goushan (southeast of Xingping, Shaanxi). Before and after Zhou Liwang, private land developed day by day, and the uprising of China people in 84 1 BC heralded the coming of slavery crisis, and the kingship declined from then on. The absence of Zhou Xuanwang's thousand acres marked the collapse of the Jing Tian system during Wang Ji's reign. In 77 1 year BC, Zhou Youwang was killed by Quan Rong and Shen Hou, and the following year, Zhou Ping and Dong Wang moved to Luoyi. Historically, Pingdong was called the Western Zhou Dynasty before it moved eastward. The Western Zhou Dynasty was from the extinction of the Shang Dynasty to the subjugation of the king, and passed on 12 Wang 1 1 generation.

The Western Zhou Dynasty was the heyday of slave society in China. Compared with Shang Dynasty, social productivity was higher, agriculture was prosperous and culture was further developed. Patriarchal clan system and well field system were the most basic social, political and economic systems at that time. When the Zhou Dynasty was strong, it crossed the Yangtze River in the south, Liaoning in the northeast, Gansu in the west and Shandong in the east.
