Features: The Warring States period was one of the most turbulent yet creative turning points in ancient Chinese history. The division of Jin by the three states of Han, Zhao, and Wei marked the beginning of feudal society in China; the struggle for dominance among the seven states played out a grand and magnificent historical melody of the time. Two hundred years of swords and horses, two hundred years of war-torn smoke, two hundred years of rapid social change, two hundred years of scholars and generals—two hundred years of smoke and fire eventually faded, leaving behind much for later generations to ponder and reflect upon.
