 Zhou Dynasty - China History - China
The Zhou Dynasty (周朝; Wade-Giles: Chou Dynasty) (late 10th century BC to late 9th century - 256 BC) followed the Shang Dynasty and preceded the Qin Dynasty in China.
In the Chinese historical tradition, the rulers of the Zhou displaced the Shang and legitimized their rule by invoking the mandate of heaven.
Because of this shift, historians divide the Zhou era into Western Zhou (西周, pinyin Xî Zhôu) from late 10th century BC to late 9th century up until 771 BC and Eastern Zhou (traditional Chinese character: 東周simplified Chinese character: 东周, pinyin Dông Zhôu) from 770 up to 221 BC.

The King plan rests on the viability of ``a common analysis'' of the problem by the key players, including China.
On the surface, it does look like that Zhou's optimal state of ``boredom'' is the bargain that he obtains at present.
What makes the King plan the most ambitious as well as the most credible of all proposals to rebalance the global economy is that it provides for a referee by envisaging a larger role for the International Monetary Fund.

When as Grand Historian I read the annals of Qin, I come to the time when the Dog Rong defeated King You, the Zhou dynasty moved its capital east to Luoyang, and Duke Xiang of Qin was enfeoffed as one of the feudal lords.
Hence Emperor Yu arose among the Western Qiang tribes, King Tang had his start in Bo, the Zhou leaders became kings when from their capital at Feng and Hao they attacked the Yin dynasty, Qin became emperor by using Yongzhou as a base, and Han came to power from Han in Shu.
After the Qin had achieved its goal of unification, it burned all the copies of the Odes and Documents in the empire, along with the historical records of the various feudal rulers, numerous as they were, because they contained sharp criticisms of the Qin.

The shift from a year beginning with the zi month to a following year beginning with the hai month, though 863 was not a 13-month year, is perhaps explainable by the shift from 867 as yuan to 865 as yuan.
When 865 was taken as base for the calendar, the intercalation due (and actually made) in 865 was ignored.
Change from hai as first month to zi as first month between the Zou ding and the Ci ding is caused by the change from 827 as yuan to 825 as yuan.
