 | | In 771 BC, after King You had replaced his queen with a concubine, the capital was then sacked by the joint force of the queen's father, who was the powerful Marquess of Shen, and the barbarians. |
 | | The capital was moved eastward in 722 BC to Luoyang in present-day Henan Province. |
 | | The first, from 722 to 481 BC, is called the Spring and Autumn Period, after a famous historical chronicle of the time; the second is known as the Warring States Period. |
