Photos of Relics of Eastern Zhou Dynasty
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770BC-476BC) is a special period in Chinese history. It is a tumultuous transitional period for ancient China from the Slavery to the Feudal Society. It is divided into two phases: the Spring and Autumn Period (770BC-476BC) and the Warring States Period (476BC-221BC). Great changes took places in various aspects of social lives of that era.
