Returning to the history textbook, each of us will memorize the "Dynasty Song", so "Spring and Autumn and the Warring States, unify the Qin and Han Dynasty", among which the "Spring and Autumn Period" and "Warring States" we are familiar with, but we have a certain ambiguity in how to divide them. 
Especially when we walked into the "Zhou Dynasty", the division of this dynasty made many people confused. As one of the longest surviving dynasties in history, how was the Zhou Dynasty divided into periods in history? And how did it affect future generations? Let's take a look! The "Zhou Dynasty" is divided into "Eastern Zhou" and "Western Zhou", and the "Eastern Zhou" is divided into two sections, which has become the "Spring and Autumn Period" and "Warring States" that we want. So, let's start with the "Spring and Autumn Period". Since the period of the "Eastern Zhou Dynasty" is divided into two periods, there is also a distinction between the first half and the second half, and the "Spring and Autumn Period" is what we call the first half. 
As a period, it also carries a crucial piece of history. And there are many famous figures in it, leaving a legendary history and having a profound impact on future generations. We all know that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were wars and disputes in various places. The struggle between the vassal states continued, and they even fought for the unification of the world, but this front lasted for a long time, and the vassal states only took the lead in completing partial unification. But in the Spring and Autumn period, there was a great reversal, that is, the time when peace was the majority, and the countries were in a state of truce. Why? 
In fact, it is very simple, human strength is limited, and it also takes time to consolidate and make up for the preparation of all aspects of the country. In the midst of exhaustion, the vassal states also need time to recuperate. Thus, this time is in the Spring and Autumn Period. Even so, during this period, it is inevitable that there will still be countries going to war and conducting conquest operations. But compared to the Warring States Period, it is obviously much better in the Spring and Autumn Period. And it is relatively unified in the region, mostly occurring in the Yangtze River Basin. Generally speaking, the power of various countries increased during the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was concentrated among the aristocracy, which also affected the development and changes of this period. 
From a political point of view, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the situation of the Zhou royal family was not good, and its power was declining, even compared to the large vassal states. And the distinction of forces in ancient times was very obvious, small forces would naturally be eliminated, and it would be difficult for small countries to rise, and it would be even more difficult to get rid of the fate of annexation. The most noteworthy thing is that in the historical records, the situation of "killing kings" during this period occurred from time to time, and even the norm. It can be seen that in the midst of turmoil, the change of forces is also quite fast. 
In addition to this aspect, the Spring and Autumn Period also produced new developments in the economy and taxation. And the culture of the Spring and Autumn Period is also quite prominent, which can also be said to be ideological progress, how can it be seen? During this period, the ancients paid more attention to the spiritual concept of man and began to develop mainly around people. It is an important period of transition, and it is also a period that plays a crucial role. Even if there are still traditional ideas, there is no lack of a major cultural and historical transformation. 
Throughout the Spring and Autumn Period, there were also changes and confrontations between countries, with many wars and changes, which was an important period in history and an important period worthy of study by future generations. 
Let's look at the Warring States Period, he is the second half, if you want to say when to count, that is, from the beginning of the three families, then when will it end? Naturally, it was when Qin Shi Huang unified the world. In this way, we know that Qin Shi Huang unified the world, and we also know that in between, the struggle between countries has always been uninterrupted. Even the Warring States period is known as the most protracted period of confrontation, and after the time is extended, it will become serious in terms of confrontation. In this regard, the war-torn Warring States period is also distinguished from the relatively peaceful Spring and Autumn period. Speaking of political measures, during the Warring States Period, there was already a division of positions among the princes, in addition to the high-ranking monarch, and the subordinate in the civil and military positions. 
And the main thing is to divide the phases. Xiang, we often hear that the prime minister holds great power and shares worries for the monarch, and the size of the power affects his status in the hearts of the emperor and hundreds of officials. The general is the superior of the martial arts, and he is also the general we often say. During the war-torn Warring States period, they had a very heavy task. 
The most significant changes in the Warring States period were of course the rise of the economy and society. Among them, the private land system began to be implemented and developed, and the use of iron tools gradually increased, which was inevitable, and even appeared in the history of the economy, culture and other aspects of the peak period. The most noteworthy is the Shang Dynasty Reform of the Qin State, which occupies an important place in history, and finally led other vassal states to follow suit with its success and strength, and then began to reform and then strive for the strength of their own countries. In terms of warfare, we have to talk about the unification of the six countries by the Qin State. As we all know, the Qin army attacked Korea on a large scale, and after its monarch was captured, it also marked the end of Korea, and thus the footsteps of the Qin state to unify the six kingdoms began. This was followed by the states of Zhao, Yan, Wei, and Chu, and finally ended in the annexation of Qi. At the time of the annexation of Qi, other forces of other vassal states still existed, and Qin not only did the work of sweeping up, but also shouldered the task of attacking Qi. At this time, Qin Shi Huang sent the "general" Wang Ben, and they quietly completed the attack. However, the king of Qi was still smart, and after the Qin army attacked, he surrendered immediately, and soon this offensive was completed, the Qin state's sphere of influence increased, and the Qin state was able to unify the world. In this way, the struggle between the vassal states during the Warring States period continued, and after the national strength of the Qin State increased, the vassal states collapsed, and the Warring States Period "ended". 
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period occupy a very important position in the history of our country, not only an important history, but also contains a lot of interesting history, but the war ultimately affects the people of various countries. And the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is also a transitional period, the most intuitive is the decline of the Zhou royal family, its power is gradually declining, on the other hand, the power between the vassal states increases, and certain changes are being carried out in all aspects to enhance the power and realize their own unity. In general, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were turbulent and full of war. And it is not a dynasty, but contains the historical periods of many dynasties, the most special of which is that it spans two historical periods. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was divided into two periods, and there were certain differences in politics, economy, and military aspects. Just like in a turbulent situation, one is recuperating and the other is at war. But looking at the culture of the Warring States period, it flourished and was still diverse.
During these two periods of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, we can also see their importance in history to a certain extent, and they are relatively large in terms of power. During this period, the contest between the vassal states was uninterrupted, and finally ended under the unification of one side. Whether it is the Spring and Autumn Period or the Warring States Period, it has left its mark in the long river of history and left a reference for future generations.
