    The Zhou Dynasty (690-705) was a dynasty founded by Wu Zetian, and was called Wu Zhou in order to distinguish it from the pre-Qin Zhou Dynasty in history. Wu Zetian is the only universally recognized female emperor in Chinese history, officially ruling for 23 years, and she is the only emperor of the dynasty. In the first year of Hongdao (683), Tang Gaozong died of illness, and the crown prince Li Xian ascended the throne, which was for Tang Zhongzong, "respecting the Empress Wu as the empress dowager, and the political affairs are up to the table".

    In September 684, the Empress Dowager abolished Zhongzong as the king of Luling, and established Zhongzong's younger brother Yu Wang Li Dan as the emperor, which was for Tang Ruizong, changed the first year of the heir to the first year of Guangzhai, changed Luoyang to the divine capital, and reformed the system by the Empress Dowager Linchao.

    On September 9 of the first year of Tang Zaichu (690 AD), more than 60,000 people including Tang Ruizong asked to change the name of the country, and Wu Zetian saw that the time had come, so he changed Tang to Zhou, and set the capital Luoyang (now Luoyang City, Henan Province), and added his title as the Holy Spirit Emperor. Change Ruizong to the emperor's heir and give him the surname Wu. In Luoyang, the capital of the gods, the seven temples of the Wu clan were established, and the Sheji was replaced.

    The first year of the first year was changed to the first year of Tianzhu, and the history was called Wu Zhou. In the first year of Shenlong (705 AD), Zhang Cambodia and others staged a palace coup to force Wu Zetian to abdicate. Zhongzong was reinstated and the old system of the Tang Dynasty was restored.

    In December of the same year, Wu Zetian died in Shangyang Palace in Luoyang at the age of 82.

    The Zhou Dynasty (1046 BC - 256 BC) lasted about 791 years.

    The Zhou Dynasty was really sub-feudal system, that is, the entire dynasty was composed of multiple vassal states, and the king of Zhou was the master of the world, but it was precisely because of the sub-feudal system that the king of Zhou was not so sure of his control of power.

    From 770 BC to 476 BC belonged to the Spring and Autumn Period, when some of the larger vassal states were concerned about how to put the king of Zhou in their eyes, they fought for land, population, and control of other weak vassal states, and engaged in constant annexation wars.

    There have been 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, which is called the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period in history.

    From 475 B.C. to 221 A.D., this was China's Warring States Period, after years of fierce wars in the Spring and Autumn Period, its main vassal states were only Qi, Chu, Han, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Qin, the seven kingdoms, known in history as the Seven Heroes of the Warring States.

    At this time, the princes and kings basically did not take the king of Zhou seriously, and the king of Zhou lost control, and Ji Yan, the king of Zhou, became the last king of Zhou, until the Qin state annexed the other six countries and ruled the world.
