Features: Under heaven, nothing is not the land of the king; feudal relatives, with fiefdoms to defend Zhou, Western Zhou – a civilized society where clans abided by the law. This book is one of "Illustrated Chinese History," providing a detailed introduction to this patriarchal society whose lifeblood was the ritual system. In Zhouyuan (empty moon) (empty moon), the taste of mulberry and tea is as sweet as candy. King Wen ruled over Qi, and all the people were harmonious. In less than a century, he had two-thirds of the world under his control. The Zhou dynasty underwent renewal, with sages emerging one after another. King Wen was imprisoned and developed the "Book of Changes"; King Wu defeated Zhou, and the "Pastoral Oath" has been passed down through the ages; there was also the Duke of Zhou, who spat out his food three times to win the hearts of the world. The Zhou dynasty's system became more stringent. The nobility and relatives were enfeoffed, ruling the world through their families; the rectangular fields stretched across the land, making everything under heaven the land of the king; teachers and guardians stood side by side, with officials each having their own duties. The rituals and music flourished, and Confucian scholars revered them. The legacy of the patriarchal system has been long-lasting!
