The Qin dynasty enjoyed the country 14 years, and the Sui dynasty was 37 years. Why did the Zhou Dynasty last for 800 years?

Zhou Dynasty can exist for 800 years, mainly because its institutional system adapted to the social environment at that time, and the great achievements of its ruling class can not be ignored.

As far as the institutional system is concerned, the Zhou Dynasty created a series of far-reaching institutional frameworks, and even now we can see some shadows of the Zhou Dynasty system. Such as enfeoffment system, patriarchal clan system, well field system and so on. And the Zhou Dynasty also formulated Zhou Li, which influenced a generation of Confucian sage Confucius and all Chinese sons and daughters.

The Zhou Dynasty (65438 BC+0046 BC-256 BC) is the third dynasty in the history of China after the Shang Dynasty. In the Zhou Dynasty, a * * * handed down 37 kings in 32 generations, enjoying 79 1 year, which is known as the eight hundred years of the Zhou Dynasty.

Back to the question, why did the Zhou Dynasty exist for 800 years? First, the Chinese nation is a peace-loving nation. From ancient times to the present, there are almost no examples of the Chinese nation taking the initiative to occupy foreign territory (some people may say that the Mongolian yuan was a foreigner at that time, but I want to say that the Mongolian yuan was not orthodox in China. In other words, the essence of the Chinese nation determines that the social environment will not be in a state of war for a long time, and people are eager for a peaceful life, so no one will be allowed to destroy the peaceful environment.

Secondly, the rule of the Zhou Dynasty was generally reliable and satisfactory. In the early and middle period of the rule, there were few things out of line, and even if there were, they were within the tolerance of the people. It was not until Zhou Youwang played a bonfire that the absurdity of the ruler became the last straw to crush the camel, and the Zhou Dynasty went to complete extinction.

One more thing, it should be said that it is the big environmental problem of the times. The long-term rule of the Zhou Dynasty was inseparable from the social development at that time. At that time, social production capacity was low, social development was slow, people's life pace was slow, and life without food and clothing could not be realized. People simply have no energy to think about deeper pursuits, nor do they take into account the cruelty of the ruling class. It can be said that the wisdom of the people is not open, naive and carefree.
