Re: Why did the Zhou Dynasty last for more than 800 years in history?

The Zhou Dynasty was only a very long country, which was transported for 800 years around the Eastern and Western Zhou Dynasties. The specific reasons are as follows:

First of all, this should be attributed to the system design of politicians Wu Wang and Duke Zhou in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. There are Shang Dynasty and Xia Dynasty before the Western Zhou Dynasty in the literature. Xia Shang Dynasty was the initial era of China's kingship, and Xia Shang Wang was only a nominal master. The political structure of the whole Chinese world is independent and divided. The reason why the Western Zhou Dynasty was able to wipe out the big city businessmen from the small countries in the west was closely related to this loose square system.

After the Western Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty, it adopted the enfeoffment system based on the patriarchal clan system, and the whole territory was linked by the enfeoffment system. There are a series of complicated rights and obligations between vassal States and Zhou, which is unprecedented in history. Patriarchal clan system played a key role in consolidating the Zhou regime. As an economic link between the Zhou Emperor and the vassal states, the system is also conducive to the consolidation of imperial power.

Secondly, the rites and music of the Duke of Zhou are also an important reason for the long history of the Zhou Dynasty. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou gained and lost the old system of Xia and Shang, and formulated a whole set of rites and music system in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which must be observed from Tian Zi to Shu Ren. The system of rites and music is the cultural basis of the Zhou Dynasty's rule, and a kind of cultural knowledge has been formed above Shu Ren, which is undoubtedly conducive to strengthening the whole nation's recognition of the legitimacy of the Zhou Dynasty's rule.
