Zhou Dynasty: Legalism, Confucianism, and Taoism

Zhou Dynasty: Legalism, Confucianism, and Taoism

The Zhou Dynasty lasted from 1046 BC until 256 BC, which makes it the longest dynasty in Chinese history. However, the Zhou only had solid control of China for about the first 200 years. The size of the Zhou Dynasty was vast, going from Xi’an all the way to China’s eastern coast. To enable them to rule such a large area, the Zhou implemented a type of feudalism where loyal officials in outlying states were given control of large pieces of land and given a certain amount of autonomy to rule it as they pleased.

Being Confucianism the core of the old Chinese values, indeed I would like to hear more from your knowledge in that. I really like the way you tell the stories and how you related to the language. Thanks 😊

Wow, this video was such an eye-opener! As someone who loves learning about history, I really appreciate how clearly the Zhou Dynasty's belief systems were explained. Legalism, Confucianism, and Taoism may sound complex, but this video broke it down in a way that even I could understand. Thank you for sharing this fascinating piece of history with us!

WOW！My hometown is the birthplace of the Zhou culture, where the founder of the Zhou dynasty lived. We unearthed a large number of bronze artifacts from the Shang and Zhou periods here in the 1970s.

The Spring and Autumn Period is what they called it in my college's Chinese history class decades ago.

I kinda more intrigued about the legalism. Could you expand on that in a seperate video? Now you practically attribute 20s to Legalism while all others had significant more time attributed to these governing styles

Legalism = Do as you're told according to Fa.
Confucianism = Do as you're told according to Ren yi Li Zhi Xin.
Taoism = Do as you're told according to Dao.
My mother = Do as you're told according to me!!
Chinese culture = Just do as you're told! And don't talk back!

Talking about China in Brazil seams like a bad idea...
