Zhou thomas and simon
The document summarizes information about China's Zhou Dynasty from 1050-221 BC. It discusses that noble men were assigned land and controlled it like kings. Important events included the Warring States period and the Zhou emperors losing power. The Zhou Dynasty was also the longest dynasty and saw the expansion of Chinese civilization and development of new technologies like iron tools. Culture during this time included widespread rice farming and use of new metals.
The Zhou dinasty
The Zhou Dynasty came into power in 1150 BC after attacking the Shang Dynasty. The Zhou established a feudal system where nobles ruled land and peasants farmed in exchange for military service to the king. Over time, the power of the Zhou kings weakened as the nobility grew stronger. King You falsely claimed attacks were coming to test the nobles' loyalty, but when a real invasion came the nobles did not help and King You died, beginning the Warring Kingdoms period as central control collapsed.
Zhou dynasty present
The Zhou dynasty was founded in 1076 BC after overthrowing the Shang dynasty. It introduced the concept of the Mandate of Heaven to justify the ruler's power. Politically, it established a feudal system with the king at the top ruling through relatives in different regions, weakening central authority over time. Socially, it was divided into classes of nobles, peasants, and slaves. The Eastern Zhou period saw the rise of regional lords and periods of warfare between states seeking dominance. This eventually led to the Warring States period where seven major powers fought for control until the Qin state unified China in 221 BC, ending the long period of conflict.
Han Emperors in China
The Han Dynasty in China established a centralized system of government led by emperors that lasted for centuries. Notable emperors like Liu Bang and Wudi expanded China's borders through war and examinations were introduced for government positions. The hierarchy of Han society placed the emperor and nobles at the top, with peasants, artisans, merchants and slaves at the lower levels. Both men and women assumed traditional gender roles, though some women pursued education or careers. The Han Empire spanned areas of modern day China and introduced contributions like paper, improved farming tools, and silk production along the Silk Road.
Mandate of Heaven and Dynastic Cycle
This Chinese proverb outlines a philosophy that righteousness, beauty, harmony, order, and peace are interconnected. It states that if individuals cultivate righteousness in their hearts, it will lead to beauty in character, harmony in the home, order in the nation, and ultimately peace in the world.
Zhou Dynasty PPT
The Zhou Dynasty conquered the Shang Dynasty in 1027 BCE and ruled over China until 256 BCE. They justified their conquest by claiming the Shang had lost the Mandate of Heaven, the divine right to rule granted by the gods. During the long Zhou rule, Chinese culture and technology advanced significantly through ambitious public works and the introduction of iron, money, and early forms of writing. However, over time the Zhou kings lost control of the feudal lords, leading to a period of political unrest and war between states vying for more power and territory.
Zhou dynasty
The Zhou Dynasty ruled China from the 11th century BCE to 256 BCE. It was divided into two periods - the Western Zhou (1046-771 BCE) and Eastern Zhou (770-256 BCE), which was further divided into the Spring and Autumn period (770-476 BCE) and Warring States period (475-221 BCE). Key developments during the Zhou Dynasty included the rise of Confucianism and Daoism, the use of iron, population growth, and the development of Chinese characters. Bronze ritual vessels became more sophisticated with the use of lost wax casting and decorations.

Financial Meltdown
According to the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA's)
World Factbook (2010)
, after the United States surpassed Japan in 2001, China became the world's largest exporter and stood as the second-largest economy in the world in 2010. For centuries, China stood as a leading civilization, outpacing the rest of the world in the arts and sciences, but in the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries, the country was beset by civil unrest, major famines, military defeats, and foreign occupation.
Communists under Mao Zedong established an autocratic socialist system after World War II that while ensuring China's sovereignty, imposed strict controls over everyday life and cost the lives of tens of millions of people. Mao's successor in 1978, Deng Xiaoping, and other leaders that followed shifted focus to market-oriented economic development. Since the early 1990s, China has increased its global outreach and participation in international organizations. By the turn of the 21st century, China's economic output had quadrupled. Living standards have improved dramatically for much of the population making room for personal choice expansion.
