During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period (770 BC – 221 BC), The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by the Qin State in the late Warring States Period (256 BC), so the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were not entirely included in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in terms of time. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Emperor of Zhou maintained his authority as the ruler of the world. After King Ping moved eastward and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty began, the Zhou Dynasty began to decline. It only maintained the name of the leader of the world, but had no actual control ability. Due to the different socio-economic conditions of the countries in the Central Plains, competition for hegemony among major powers has emerged. The merger and hegemony of various countries have contributed to the unification of various regions. Therefore, the great social turmoil during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty prepared the conditions for national unification.
