		The Zhou dynasty was founded by the Ji family and had its capital at Hao, near the city of Xi'an, or Chang'an, as it was known in its heyday in the imperial period.
		In Chinese Marxist histography, the Zhou dynasty marks the began of the feudal phase of Chinese history, a period which is said to extend to the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911.
		The queen's son Ji Yijiu was proclaimed the new king by the nobles from the states of Zheng, Lu, Qin and the Marquess of Shen.

	Zhou Dynasty Summary
		In the West, the Zhou period is often described as feudal because the Zhou's early rule invites comparison with medieval rule in Europe.
		The queen's son Ji Yijiu was proclaimed the new king by the nobles from the states of Zheng, Lü, Qin and the Marquess of Shen.
		This discrepancy is due to the fact that the last Zhou king's reign ended in 256, 35 years before the beginning of the Qin dynasty which ended the Warring States period.

	About China-History-Zhou Dynasty
		Kings, as supreme rulers, distributed both land and the people on it to their relatives, meritorious ministers and generals founding many small vassal states.
		King Wu's enfeoffment of dukes was the first practice of the feudal system during the Western Zhou Dynasty.
		As the Zhou kings were no longer the sole possessors of the land, the ties of kingship and vassalage inevitably weakened.

		Your task is to discern which inscriptions refer to war or to warriors, and to characterize the degree of warfare reflected in the inscriptions for your period.

		The "master narrative" constructed by Confucians claimed that the rites of the Zhou (li) were basically elaborated by the Zhou founders, and were a model held to throughout the Western Zhou.

	Zhou Dynasty - Wikivisual
		In the Chinese historical tradition, the rulers of the Zhou displaced the Shang and legitimized their rule by invoking the Mandate of Heaven, the notion that the ruler (the "Son of Heaven") governed by divine right (granted by the Supreme God of Heaven) but that his dethronement would prove that he had lost the mandate.
		In 771 BC, after King You had replaced his queen with a concubine Baosi, the capital was sacked by the joint force of the queen's father, who was the powerful Marquess of Shen, and a nomadic tribe.
		The Warring States Period extends slightly past the 256 BC end date of the Eastern Zhou; this discrepancy is due to the fact that the last Zhou king's reign ended in 256, 35 years before the beginning of the Qin dynasty which ended the Warring States period.

		But soon Western Zhou society was to see a transition that had its impact on almost every aspect of Zhou culture, from the style of inscriptions to the design of pottery, and from court ritual to burial practice.
		Thus, the Zhou found themselves striving hopelessly between two strategic goals: the integration of the Zhou state that depended on continuous royal engagement in affairs of the east, and the survival of the dynasty on condition of security of the west.
		Their disadvantage lies first of all in the fact that they do not themselves constitute a systematic arrangement of information, but are highly fragmentary and even accidental, as many archaeological discoveries are the result of chance and not of planned excavation, which is becoming more and more difficult in China today.

	Zhou Yu's Train (Zhou Yu de huo che) (2002): Li Gong, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Honglei Sun - PopMatters Film Review
		As Zhou Yu, Li Gong, the ageless star of so many of Zhang Yimou's pictures before he turned to profitable martial arts action, embodies a yearning that is simultaneously timeless and frozen in time, delicate and determined, vibrant and unbearable.
		At one level, Zhou Yu is a familiar figure, a young woman dreaming her way out of her dreary day job (she's a painter at a Sanming porcelain factory), yearning for love and commitment from her poet-librarian boyfriend, Chen Qing (Tony Leung Ka Fai), who lives and works in Chongyang.
		In her present, which is also the film's past, Zhou Yu's choices seem clearly marked: the uncommitted ephemera embodied by the poet or the visceral connection offered by the earnest animal doctor.
