Try to illustrate the social contradictions faced in the late Western Zhou Dynasty with historical facts.

Western Zhou Dynasty, the previous stage of Zhou Dynasty

The ancestor of Zhou people was Jiang Yuan, who was abandoned by his son, namely Hou Ji. In the early Shang Dynasty, Gong Liu, a descendant of Hou Ji, led his people to move from Taitai to Magnetism. After Gu Gong lost his father, he moved to the south of Qishan, calling himself Zhou. Zhou Wuwang and Konoha defeated the Shang and Zhou Dynasties in World War I and established the Zhou Dynasty. The Western Zhou Dynasty lasted about 275 years from Zhou Wuwang's destruction of Shang Dynasty in 1046 BC to Zhou Youwang's murder by Shen Hou and Quan Rong in 77 1 BC. In 770 BC, Emperor Shen Hou and other governors established Yijiu as king, and King Ping moved Kyoto from Zhou Zong to Luoyi (now Luoyang, Henan). Historically, the Zhou Dynasty after moving eastward was called the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Zhou people have a long history and have been active in Shaanxi and Gansu for a long time, with Joo Won?, south of Qishan, as their main base. By the beginning of BC 1 1 century, the power of the Zhou clan was getting stronger and stronger. While conquering small countries nearby, it expanded its strength; At the same time, the capital was moved from Joo Won? to the west bank of Feng Shui in Chang 'an County, and Fengjing was built. Its continuous eastward advancement aggravated the contradiction with Shang Dynasty. The King of Shang Dynasty once put Xibochang (King Wen) in prison. Chen Zhou presented beauty and treasures to the king, and Di Xin released Xibechang. After Xi Bochang returned to China, he further stepped up preparations for logging. At this time, the Shang Dynasty was politically corrupt, and the internal and external contradictions were unprecedentedly sharp. King Wen thought that the conditions for cutting merchants were ripe, and before he died, he asked Prince Fafa (King Wu) to actively prepare for cutting merchants. After King Wu ascended the throne, while the main force of Shang Dynasty was away, 300 chariots, 45,000 infantry and 3,000 warriors (stormtroopers) from Ji Fa, Zhou Wuwang marched eastward. Many small countries, such as Yong, Shu, Qiang, Mao, Wei, Lu, Peng and Pu, also led troops to cooperate. Zhou Wuwang took an oath in Mu Ye, recounting the sins of Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Shang Zhouwang temporarily organized 170000 slaves to fight against Zhou Jun, but the sergeant had no intention of fighting and defected one after another, leading Zhou Jun to attack. Shang Zhouwang fled, set himself on fire in Lutai, and the Shang Dynasty perished. Since then, the history of China has entered the Zhou Dynasty. After the King of Wu conquered the Shang Dynasty, he basically controlled the original ruling area and conquered many small countries around him. However, how to firmly control the vast territory in the east has become a serious problem facing King Wu. Therefore, he adopted the policy of "enfeoffment of relatives, vassal rule of the week", enfeoffment of people with the same surname and heroes around the country, and establishment of vassal States. One vassal state after another became the stronghold of the ruling party's land, and they also played a role in defending the Zhou royal family. King Wu sealed Shang Zhou's son Wu Geng (Luf) in Shangdu to control the merchants; Appointed his brothers Guan Shu, Cai Shu and Huo Shu as Hou to supervise Wu Geng; Duke Zhou was sealed in Lu, Jiang Shang in Qi and Zhao Gong in Yan. After Zhou Wuwang's death, his son succeeded to the throne. Because he is a young king, Duke Zhou is the Regent. Guan Shu and Cai Shu were dissatisfied with the Duke of Zhou, and they spread rumors that the Duke of Zhou intended to usurp the throne. Soon, Wu Geng colluded with Guan and Cai, and joined forces with Xu, Xuan and Bo Gu in the East to launch a rebellion. It took the Duke of Zhou three years to dispatch his troops to the East, and finally put down the rebellion between Wu Geng and Guan and Cai, killed Wu Geng and exiled Cai Shu. The overall victory of the crusade consolidated the rule of the Zhou Dynasty. After King Wu destroyed the business, he returned to Haojiang, deeply feeling that Haojiang was too far away from the newly conquered areas. He intends to build a new capital in the Ilo River area, the center of Xia people's activities. His idea didn't come true, and he died suddenly. It can be seen from the inscription of He Zun unearthed in Baoji that after he became king, he inherited the will of King Wu and decided to build a new city near Luoyang, "China". Ruling the newly conquered areas from here can greatly shorten the distance. Therefore, King Cheng sent Zhao Gong to the "Xiangzhai" near Luoyang. Soon, Luoyi and Haojing (Zhou Zong) built by King Wu became the political, military and cultural center of the Western Zhou Dynasty. In order to completely eradicate the dream of restoration of Yin adherents, when he became king, he also moved Yin stubborn people to Chengzhou. When Zhou Gongdan was regent in Zhou Zong, his eldest son, Birchin, was made a deer. The land of Lu State has been discovered in Qufu and Lucheng sites in Shandong today. Qi, blocked, now Linzi, Shandong; The Yan State, which was sealed by Zhao Gong, also found the city site and the tomb of the Empress Yan in Fangshan, Beijing today. After the Wu Geng Rebellion was pacified, it was named Kang Shu as its brother, and the site of Wei State was found in Xun County, Henan Province. Wei, Zhou's ordinary brother, did not take part in the Wu Geng Uprising. As a descendant of Shang clan, he was named Duke of Song Dynasty, and his place is in Shangqiu, Henan today. In the west of Wei, there is also a state of Jin, which was given to his brother by King Cheng after conquering the Tang Dynasty. Its site is at the junction of Yicheng and Quwo in Shanxi today. The fiefs of these vassal States often formed a situation of horns, which were interrelated and restricted each other, thus playing a certain role in the stability of the previous political situation. It is said in the literature that "when you succeed, you don't need 40 years' punishment for making mistakes", which just shows that there was a period of stability in the Zhou Dynasty after Wu Geng successfully put down the rebellion. After a series of wars, Zhou people controlled the areas as far south as Ba, Pu, Deng and Chu. North to Sushen, Yan and Bo; East to Binhai; West to Gansu and Qinghai. Its scope is larger than that of Shang Dynasty. Zhou Wang established a relatively complete state machine and effectively ruled its territory. The punishment formulated was more systematic than that of Shang Dynasty. The number of standing armies is more than that of Shang Dynasty, with six divisions in Zhou Zong and eight divisions in Chengzhou. The land and subjects of the whole country are nominally owned by Zhou Wang, that is, "under the world, is it the land of kings?" "Leading the land is the king?" Therefore, when the king of Zhou fiefs and surrenders to the princes, he holds a ceremony to fief the land to the people. The blocked vassal States should appear before the king of Zhou regularly and have the obligation to defend the royal family. They will pay tribute (including military service) to the king of Zhou. If they don't pay tribute, they will insult the royal family and be punished. However, with the passage of time, the blocked people often cede or exchange land without authorization, and gradually turn the land into private property. At the same time, with more and more newly reclaimed land, the number of private fields is also increasing. The emergence of private land has eroded and impacted the public ownership of land based on the well field system. The social economy of the Western Zhou Dynasty was more developed than that of the Shang Dynasty. A large number of bronze tools are used in production, which provides more surplus labor products for the society and promotes the development of various handicrafts. Bronze craft further prospered. In addition to the bronze workshops controlled by the royal family, the vassal States also had their own bronze workshops. Bronze products are more numerous and more widely used, involving almost all aspects of social life. The development of bronze industry promoted the prosperity of other industries. Characters are also used more widely. In addition to the inscription on the Oracle Bone Inscriptions, thousands of bronzes were engraved with inscriptions, which recorded many events in social life at that time. The largest one has 499 words, which is no less than a document at that time. There have also been many new advances in science and technology such as agriculture, animal husbandry, textile, metallurgy, architecture, astronomy and geography. These achievements have brought about changes in people's production and life. Archaeologists found artificial iron smelting in tombs in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, which shows that at least in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, people have mastered the technology of artificial iron smelting. This discovery shows that people have mastered an effective means in the struggle to transform the objective world. When I arrived in Zhou Liwang, domestic contradictions became increasingly acute. Li Wang blackmailed and abused the people and prevented them from talking about state affairs. In 84 1 year BC, the people of China finally rioted. Li Wang fled to Bi (now Huoxian County, Shanxi Province), and the Chinese pushed Bo to work for the son of heaven. * * * and the first year (84 BC1) are the exact dates in the history of China. After Zhou Xuanwang succeeded to the throne, he learned a lesson and changed his policy. In order to remove the threat of Rong Di, he also launched a defensive war against Rong Di and won. In the war against Jingchu and Huaiyi, it also won some victories, so it was called "Zhongxing". However, various contradictions still exist in society, and the whole society is still in turmoil. Western Zhou regime

Zhou Wuwang destroyed many small countries and established a larger vassal state, forcing small slave countries to accept the feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty, which was divided into five titles, namely, male, male, male and male. It is divided according to the close relationship between governors and Zhou royal family. In order to consolidate his dominant position, King Zhou adopted the enfeoffment system of "the masses build a monarch and the people crack the soil". "Well-field system" is the basis of social relations of production in the Zhou Dynasty, and it is also the economic basis on which aristocrats live. Agriculture is still the main sector of social economy. Etiquette and Punishment The Zhou Dynasty had strict etiquette and punishment, saying, "You can't be polite to the doctor, but you can't punish the doctor". Zhou Li is based on the patriarchal clan system formed under the patriarchal social system, and is used to mediate and adjust the contradictions and relations within the ruling class. Punishment is used to control and suppress civilians and slaves, including a whole set of litigation and trial systems such as death penalty, ink punishment, exile punishment, flogging and redemption, which is extremely cruel. Commercial and traffic bronze farm tools are more widely used than Shang dynasty, and drainage and water diversion techniques are also well mastered. Among crops, melons and fruits are cultivated in Sang Ma. There are many departments in handicraft industry, and the division of labor is more detailed than that in Shang Dynasty. Known as "all-round workers", business has further developed. In the "state" and "capital", a bigger market has emerged. Well-field system was implemented in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Each male main labor force grants 100 mu (equivalent to 3 1 mu now), and the allocated land is changed every three years. At that time, mature and barren farming systems were widely adopted, and agricultural production made great progress. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, commerce was developed, and there were merchants specializing in trade activities. Shellfish, mussels and tortoise shells used for divination are often contributed and exchanged from far away. Haibei was also used as currency at that time, and it was calculated in units of friends. Ships and carriages are important means of transportation. Social gatherings were the main source of ordinary people's daily life at that time, while hunting was the entertainment of nobles. After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, wars and exchanges continued, and wars often took place with neighboring countries such as Jingchu, Guangxi, Yanyun, Dongyi and Huaiyi, and they won and lost each other. On the contrary, it is more about friendly exchanges and economic and cultural exchanges with neighboring countries.
