Qin was the largest empire at that time, and in which year was the Eastern Zhou Dynasty destroyed?

The Qin state destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in 256 BC. In the seventeenth year of King Xiang of Zhou (635 years ago), there was a rebellion with the sub-belt, and King Xiang could not be peaceful, so he asked for help from Duke Wen of Jin, and Duke Wen took his uncle, so he got the inland of the river for Bo. In the twentieth year of King Xiang of Zhou (632 BC), King Xiang was forced by Duke Wen of Jin to practice the Tuhui Alliance in Heyang.

During the reign of King Zhou, the country became weaker and weaker, and at the same time, there were endless internal strife, so that it was divided into the Eastern Zhou Kingdom and the Western Zhou Kingdom.

King Xun moved his capital to the Western Zhou Dynasty. In the eighth year of King Zhou (307 BC), Qin borrowed the road to attack Korea in two weeks, and the Zhou people did not dare to offend on both sides, and they were in a dilemma. The east and west weeks are located between the great powers, and instead of working together, they attack and kill each other.

In the fifty-ninth year of King Zhen (256 years ago), the Western Zhou Kingdom was destroyed by Qin, and in the same year, King Xun died of illness and the Western Zhou Dynasty fell. Seven years later, the Eastern Zhou Kingdom was also destroyed by Qin.

In fact, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by the Qin State twice, namely in 256 BC during the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and in 249 BC during the reign of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang. The first time the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed was in addition to the throne, and he retired from the title of the Son of Heaven on his own, and he was no longer the co-lord of the world, but Zhou also retained a Duchy of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the latter time it was destroyed was the real destruction of the country, so that Lü Buwei plundered the Jiuding back to the Qin State.

To the fifty-ninth year of King Zhou Xun, Eastern Zhou.

It was destroyed by the Qin State, and in the same year, King Zhou Yu died of illness, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty fell. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty passed on a total of 25 kings, which lasted 515 years.

The state of Qin existed for a total of 563 yearsThe Qin Dynasty existed for a total of fourteen years.

The state of Qin, a vassal state established by the Huaxia people in northwest China during the Zhou Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty (221 BC, 207 BC) was the first unified dynasty in Chinese history that developed from the Qin state during the Warring States period.

Introduction to Qin State:

Qin State (770 BC - 207 BC), a vassal state established by the Huaxia people in northwest China during the Zhou Dynasty, the ancestor Qin Feizi was the son of Fei Lian (蜚Lian), a famous general under the Shang Dynasty. As early as the Yin Shang period, the ancestor of the Qin people, the tribe surnamed Ying was the right-hand man of Xirong, and was highly valued by the Shang Dynasty, and was a nobleman of the Shang Dynasty and then a prince.

In the sixth year of King Xiao of Zhou (905 BC), Qin Feizi, the ancestor of Qin, was named a vassal state by Zhou Tianzi because of his meritorious work in raising horses. The capital was ruled in Qinyi (now the northeast area of Qingshui County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province, Gansu Province), so that the Fu Ying clan worshipped, called Qin Huan, the beginning of the Qin State.

In 821 B.C., the Duke of Qin Zhuang defeated Xirong and was named the doctor of the West by King Xuan of Zhou, and once again gave Qin (Tianshui), that is, the land of Dog Hill (Tianshui) where the Da Luo clan lived. In 771 BC, King You of Zhou was attacked and killed by Xirong, and Duke Xiang of Qin was appreciated by King Ping of Zhou for leading his troops to save Zhou Yougong. In 770 B.C., Qin Xianggong sent troops to escort King Zhou Ping to the east, and was made a prince, and was given the land west of Qishan.

From then on, the state of Qin officially became a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty.

In October 207 BC, Liu Bang attacked the city of Xianyang, Ziying went out of the city and surrendered, and the Qin Dynasty fell.

Xiong Xin, the king of Chu Huai, took Song Yi as the general and Xiang Yu as the second general, led the troops to rescue Zhao, and ordered Liu Bangxi to enter the customs slightly, and made an agreement with the generals, and the first to enter the pass was the king, Xiang Yu killed Song Yi and defeated Zhang Han in the battle of Julu.

Liu Bang entered Wuguan in a roundabout way and reached the vicinity of Xianyang, when Qin II had been killed by Zhao Gao, and the successor Ziying was demoted to the emperor's title, called King of Qin, and surrendered to Liu Bang, who captured Xianyang, and Qin died in 207 BC.

Let me give you my personal opinion.

Looking at the origin of the Qin State, you will see the importance of being proficient in a skill. The Qin people were able to make Zhou Tianzi a vassal state, and they also came step by step. Earlier, the leader of the Qin people was only a slave who raised horses for the Zhou royal family, but he was praised by the Zhou royal family for his proficiency in horse breeding, and was promoted by King Xiao of Zhou to become a vassal of the king of Zhou, and the fief at that time was Qin.

Later, after the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Qin people escorted the Zhou royal family to move eastward, and they were named princes, which was the beginning of the Qin state.

In fact, before the Zhou Dynasty, the Qin people still lived very well, according to the current words: the ancestors were wide. At that time, they were nobles of the Shang Dynasty, living near the capital, and had long been made princes.

At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty rose, and after King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the Qin people became the remnants of the Shang Dynasty, and at this time, the remnants of the Shang Dynasty still lived near the original capital of the Shang Dynasty.

After King Wu completed the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, he died soon after, due to the young age of King Cheng, the power of the dynasty was handed over to Zhou Gongdan, in order to facilitate the management of the remnants of the Shang Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty gave the old land of Shang to Wu Geng, the son of the King of Zhou, and implemented the method of "governing Yin with Yin". This made the remnants of the Shang Dynasty cheer and facilitated the stability of the newly occupied territory. However, in order to prevent these merchants from waiting for an opportunity to resist, King Wu also arranged his brothers Uncle Guan, Uncle Cai, and Uncle Huo near the merchants to be monitored.

began to live a stable life as a merchant, but for Wu Geng and the remnants of the Shang Dynasty, they were very unwilling to lose the world. It just so happened that at this time, King Wu died early, and the Duke of Zhou gained the power of the dynasty. This incident aroused the suspicion of King Wu's brothers, including Uncle Guan, Uncle Cai, and Uncle Huo, who were in charge of monitoring the old land of the Shang Dynasty.

And Wu Geng saw the opportunity to win over the three of them, and soon the "Three Prisons Rebellion" broke out.

However, this turmoil did not cause any damage to the Zhou Dynasty, and after learning of this, the Duke of Zhou quickly led his troops to the east to pacify the east.

In this battle, Wu Geng was killed, and the Qin people, who were remnants of the Shang Dynasty, also participated. Zhou Gong was not polite to these people, and directly migrated them to Zhou Tianzi's side and reduced them to slavery.

After a hundred years of development, Qin Ren Feizi became the horse breeder of the Zhou royal family. It's hard to say how he raised it, but his horse raising skills must be very good, and because of this, he became a vassal of Zhou Tianzi directly from a slave and was sealed in Qin. The Qin people gradually became the close attendants of the Zhou royal family and guarded the capital for the Son of Heaven.

In the battle against Xirong, the Qin people were once again named the doctors of the Western Regions.

In the year of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Zhou You's wanton behavior caused the city to be broken and died, and the crown prince Yijiu succeeded to the throne with the support of the princes, and was the king of Zhou Ping. In order to avoid external troubles, King Zhou Ping chose to go east to Luoyi, and Qin Xianggong, the leader of the Qin people at that time, was named a prince because of his meritorious service in sending troops to escort him. In addition, King Ping of Zhou not only gave the Qin people the Qishan area, the birthplace of the Zhou people, but also promised that as long as the Qin people defeated the Rong, all the land obtained would go to the Qin people.

From then on, the Qin people started a long-term war with the Rong people.

To sum up, if the trajectory of the Qin people is a wavy line, from princes to slaves to princes, it can only be said that their fate has ups and downs.

According to history, the ancestors of the Qin State were originally horsemen of the Zhou royal family, and because of their good breeding and breeding of horses, they were given fifteen miles of land (probably today's small village chief), and belonged to the Zhou royal family. After the dog Rong broke the pickaxe Beijing, the king of Zhou Ping moved east to Luoyi (Luoyang), because of the meritorious escort, Xu Zhi was rewarded with the old land of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is probably the world's earliest painting cake, the pickaxe capital is dilapidated and abandoned, surrounded by barbaric Rong people, and a group of savages fight for territory? At that time, unlike today, out of the city (city wall), the beasts and savages were the biggest scourge, and the actual area that could be controlled was very small.

The Eastern Zhou Kingdom was destroyed by King Xiang of Qin in 249 BC, that is, seven years after the destruction of the Western Zhou Kingdom, don't be confused.

In 194 BC, Wei Manchu destroyed the last vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty, and the Zhou Dynasty of Korea was completely destroyed.

In 256 BC, the Qin state destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

It was the first year of King Xiang of Qinzhuang (249 BC).

In the fifty-eighth year (257 BC), the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei fought against the Qin state. Zhou sent Xiangguo to Qin, but for fear of being despised by Qin, he returned halfway. Someone said to Xiang Guo:

Whether the Qin State despises you or values you, this is not yet certain. Qin wanted to know the truth about the Three Kingdoms. You might as well hurry up and visit the King of Qin, and say, 'Please let me come and inquire about the changes in the Three Kingdoms of the East', and the King of Qin will definitely pay attention to you."

The fact that the King of Qin attaches importance to you shows that Qin attaches great importance to Zhou, and Zhou has also gained the trust of Qin. As for Qi State's attention to Zhou, Zhou Yan and Qi State have already been in contact: in this way, Zhou can never lose his friendship with a powerful country.

Qin trusted Zhou, so he sent troops to attack Han, Zhao, and Wei.

In the fifty-ninth year (256 BC), Qin captured Yangcheng in Korea, and the Western Zhou was very afraid, betrayed Qin, united with the eastern princes, and led the world's elite troops out of Yique to attack Qin, making it impossible for Qin and Yangcheng to communicate. King Zhao of Qin was angry and sent his general 摎 (jiū, correction) to attack the Western Zhou. The king of the Western Zhou ran to the state of Qin, kowtowed and confessed, and dedicated all 36 yi and 30,000 people to the king of Qin.

Qin accepted the population and land offered by the Western Zhou monarch and let him return to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

After the death of Zhou Jun and Wang Xun, the people of Zhou fled to the east. Qin collected Jiuding and other treasures, and moved the Duke of Western Zhou to Hu. Seven years later, King Xiang of Qin Zhuang destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The Eastern and Western Zhou Dynasty all belonged to Qin, and the sacrifices of the Zhou Dynasty were cut off from then on.

Addendum: Therefore, the destruction of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty by the Qin State was in the first year of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang (249 BC).

The Qin Empire was born in 221 BC and died in 206 BC, and existed for 16 years, but in fact the history of the Qin State was not limited to the Qin Empire, but also a vassal state during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of China. The Qin people were a branch of the Chinese people who migrated westward. Legend has it that King Xiao of Zhou divided them into Qin because his ancestors were good at raising horses, as vassals of the Zhou Dynasty.

In 770 BC, Qin Xianggong escorted King Ping of Zhou to move eastward, and was made a prince, and Qin Shi founded the country and occupied the territory of the original Zhou Dynasty in Shaanxi. From 677 BC, the Qin state built the capital in Yong for nearly 300 years. Yongcheng has a palace area, a residential area, a burial area for scholars and Chinese people, and a cemetery for the Qin Dynasty.

Qin's original territory was in the western part of present-day Shaanxi Province, which at the time was part of the periphery of China. Until the early Warring States period, Qin was a relatively weak state, perhaps because of its remote location, so it was not taken seriously by other countries. In the early Spring and Autumn Period, it was an inconspicuous country, and it was not until the time of Qin Mugong that it participated in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains, becoming a second-class power after the Jin, Chu, and Qi states.

In terms of science and technology, culture, etc., Qin was also relatively backward in the early Warring States period. This situation did not begin to change until 361 BC when the Shang Dynasty changed the law. From then on, the state of Qin began to grow stronger.

In 325 BC, King Huiwen of Qin was crowned king. In 316 BC, Qin destroyed Shu, and from then on Qin officially became a great power. Ying Zheng ascended the throne in 246 BC and came to power in 238 BC, beginning his conquest of the Six Kingdoms.

From 230 BC when Qin destroyed Korea, to 221 BC when Qin destroyed Qi and unified China. Therefore, the state of Qin actually existed for 546 years, and in order to expand its territory and defend the country, several generations of monarchs of the Qin state began to die in battle.

History teacher tells you.

The history of the Qin State can be roughly divided into three sections.

First of all, more than 800 BC (before the death of Qin Feizi in 858 BC), Qin Feizi, the earliest founding monarch of Qin, was made a vassal by King Zhou for his meritorious work in raising horses. The history of the Qin State in a broad sense began, more than 2,800 years ago.

Secondly, in 770 BC, Qin Xianggong led troops to rescue Zhou when the Western Zhou Dynasty was in danger, and after the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he escorted the king of Zhou Ping to move eastward, and was named a prince, officially becoming a vassal state of Zhou. More than 2,700 years ago.

Moreover, in 221 BC, the Qin State, which quickly became powerful after the Shang Dynasty reform, destroyed other vassal states under the leadership of King Yingzheng of Qin, unified the world, and established the Qin Dynasty, the first unified feudal dynasty in Chinese history. More than 2,200 years ago.

The Qin Dynasty (221 BC and 207 BC) was the first unified dynasty in Chinese history developed by the Qin State during the Warring States Period, and the first unified ** centralized feudal dynasty Qin was born, with a total of two emperors and one king, and a total of 14 years of Guozuo. Because the royal family of the Qin Dynasty was surnamed Ying, it was also called Yingqin in the history books to distinguish other regimes with the name of Qin.

Qin was originally a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty, and after Qin Shi Huang succeeded to the throne, he successively conquered the six kingdoms of Kwantung from 230 BC to 221 BC, completing the unification of China, and then attacking the Xiongnu in the north and Baiyue in the south, establishing a dynasty with an unprecedentedly vast territory. After the death of Qin Shi Huang, Qin II Hu Hai conspired with Zhao Gao to tamper with Qin law, which led to a peasant uprising at the end of Qin. In 207 BC, Prince Ying of Qin surrendered to Liu Bang, and the Qin Dynasty fell.

The Zhou Dynasty was the third dynasty in ancient China, which was established after the fall of the Shang Dynasty, and the Zhou Dynasty was divided into the Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou, with the capital Luoyang as the division. The Zhou Dynasty actually did not take special care of the Qin State, but because the Zhou Dynasty gave the Qin State the opportunity to allow the Qin State to develop and grow, the Zhou Dynasty was very important to the Qin State, and it was difficult for the Qin State to develop and grow without the Zhou Dynasty. But in fact, it was the Qin State that had been helping the Zhou Dynasty.

Things have to start from the beginning of the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the king of Shang once sent Fei Lian to the north to fight, but when he returned to the dynasty, the Shang Dynasty had fallen, the Zhou Dynasty was established, and the Zhou Dynasty divided seventy-one princes and kings, Fei Lian was not among them, and Hu Lian took his tribe to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

After several generations of reproduction, the descendants of the incorruptible are very good at raising horses, and later King Xiao of Zhou valued it very much, so he asked him to raise the horses of King Xiao of Zhou, and raised very well, so that King Zhou was very satisfied. Then King Xiao of Zhou gave a piece of land to the descendants of Xulian, which was the land of Qin, although it was very small, but it became the capital of Qin.

Originally, he was good at raising horses, and he had been in the Xirong region, so his combat ability was also very strong, and the Qin State continued to attack the surrounding areas, gradually returning the wild areas to his own territory, and established a good Qin State, but always faced the threat of the surrounding Rongdi, so he was very brave and good at fighting.

Later, during the reign of King Xuan of Zhou, King Xuan of Zhou asked Qin to launch an attack on Xirong and defeated Xirong, so he received a lot of rewards and land, and Qin's land became very Liao. In this way, it was established that the Qin state had a large territorial scope and had enough strength to develop.

Later, the princes of Zhou Youwang Fenghuo Opera were destroyed, although the Qin State did not protect the King of Zhou You, but he still went to the rescue, repelled the enemy, and was rewarded by the King of Zhou, but at that time, the King of Zhou had nothing, so he let the Qin State attack the dog Rong, and all the land he laid down was Qin's. Then the Qin State was able to continue to fight foreign wars, obtain greater benefits, and let the Qin State develop and grow.
