| In 771 BC, after King You had replaced his queen with a concubine Baosi, the capital was sacked by the joint force of the queen's father, who was the powerful Marquess of Shen, and a nomadic tribe. |
| The capital was moved eastward in 722 BC to Luoyang in present-day Henan Province. |
| The first, from 722 to 481 BC, is called the Spring and Autumn Period, after a famous historical chronicle of the time; the second, which extends slightly past the 256 BC end date of the Eastern Zhou, is known as the Warring States Period (480 to 221 BC). |
