A. Zhou Wuwang
B. Qi Huangong
C. Jin Wengong
Answer b
Examination analysis: Zhou Wuwang was the founding monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty; Jin Wengong and Chu Zhuangwang became the hegemons only after Qi Huangong occupied the dominant position. The word "respecting the king as the first of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period" in the title refers to Qi Huangong.
Test site: Qi Huangong strives for hegemony
Comments: During the Spring and Autumn Period, the royal family declined and the princes competed for hegemony. Qi is rich in fish and salt and rich in economy. Guan Zhong reformed Qiang Bing, a rich country, and promoted Qi Huangong to be the first of the five tyrants with the slogan of "respecting the king and rejecting foreign countries".
