What is the difference between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?

Different times Regarding the starting time of the Warring States, there are no more than the following theories: 1It began in 475 or 476 BC, the first year of King Yuan of Zhou, which is the mainstream view; 2.

Began in 403 BC, the twenty-third year of King Weilie of Zhou, the division of Sima Guang, and the chronicle of "Zizhi Tongjian" began in this year; 3.Beginning in 481 BC, Lu Zuqian's "Memorabilia" believes that the "Spring and Autumn" chronicle ended in the 14th year of Lu Aigong, so the Warring States should begin in the year of Si; 4.Beginning in 468 BC, Lin Chunpu's "Warring States Chronicle" believes that the "Zuo Chuan" chronicle ended in the first year of King Zhou Zhen (468 BC), so the Warring States period should begin in the year of Si.

The obvious difference between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is that during the Spring and Autumn Period, the vassal states coexisted in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and still respected the king of Zhou on the surface, while during the Warring States Period, wars between the vassal states increased, the Zhou Dynasty fell, and the major vassal states quickly annexed small vassal states.

Seven Heroes of the Warring States Definition: The Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period refers to the collective name of the seven strongest vassal states of the Warring States Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in history. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the number of vassal states was greatly reduced by countless wars, and the seven most powerful vassal states in the Warring States Period were Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin, and these seven countries were called the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" by historians.

Nicknames: Among the seven vassal states, except for the Qin state, which is west of the Kunshan Mountains, the other six states are all in the east. Therefore, the six countries are also known as the "Shandong Six".

Capital: Name of the country Capital City Present location Qi State Linzi Shandong Zibo Chu State Yan Ying Northwest of Jiangling, Hubei Yanguo Ji, Hebei Beijing South Korea Xinzheng present-day Henan Xinzheng Wei State Daliang The former capital city of Anyi was in the northwest of present-day Xia County, Shanxi, and later moved to Kaifeng, Henan Zhao State Handan The capital was in the southeast of present-day Taiyuan, Shanxi, and later moved to the present-day Handan of Hebei Qin State Xianyang Shaanxi Xianyang Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants The Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants refer to the Duke of Qi Huan, the Duke of Song Xiang, the Duke of Wen of Jin, the Duke of Qin Mu and the King of Chuzhuang. This statement can be seen in "White Tiger Pass".

Another version is that the Duke of Qi Huan, the Duke of Wen of Jin, the King of Chuzhuang, the King of Wu 阖闾 (hé lǚ), and the King of Yue Goujian. This statement can be seen in Wang Bao's "Four Sons Speak German". Others believe that the so-called "five hegemons" should be a kind of imaginary reference, not a real reference to the five monarchs.

That is, the Spring and Autumn Period were earlier and the Warring States Period was later.

1. The times of the Spring and Autumn Period were characterized by the struggle for hegemony, and all countries established hegemony under the banner of respecting the king. The Warring States period was characterized by annexation, in which countries attacked and destroyed the country with the goal of unification.

2. The theme that runs through the entire Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is: political reform continues, from the Spring and Autumn Period of Qi State Guan Zhong, Jin State Jin Wengong, Qin State Baili Xi, Chu State Sun Shuao to the Warring States Period Li Kui, Shang Ying, Wu Qi, Shen Bu Harm Change Law, Qi Wei Wang Fuguo Strong Army, Zhao Wuling King Hufu Cavalry Shooting, all countries continue to reform, and the common trend is to replace slavery with feudalism and decentralization with centralization.
