  Zhou Dynasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 the West, the Zhou period is often described as feudal because the Zhou's early rule invites comparison with medieval rule in Europe.
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.

While proponents of the “thecodont” hypothesis have largely dismissed the evidence on the dogmatic a priori assertion that birds are not dinosaurs, it is nonetheless pertinent to review the data concerning the integument of allegedly feathered dinosaurs, and examine the alternative arguments put forth by some researchers (e.g., Geist et al 1997).
In the analyses offered by Sereno (1999), Zhou and Wang (2000), Zhou et al (2000), and Barsbold et al (2000), the suturing of the quadrate and quadratojugal are stressed as plesiomorphic comparative to Aves.

 Zhuangzi [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
According to the great Han dynasty historian, Sima Qian, Zhuangzi was born during the Warring States (403-221 BCE), more than a century after the death of Confucius.
During this time, the ostensibly ruling house of Zhou had lost its authority, and there was increasing violence between states contending for imperial power.
According to Sima Qian, Zhuangzi was born in a village called Meng, in the state of Song; according to Lu Deming, the Sui-Tang dynasty scholar, the Pu River in which Zhuangzi was said to have fished was in the state of Chen which, as Wang Guowei points out, had become a territory of Chu.
