The Zhou Dynasty Around 1050 B.C., the Zhou conquered the Shang. Shang kings had grow corrupt When Zhou attacked Shang many Shang warriors refused to fight The Zhou dynasty lasted longer than any other Chinese dynasty. It lasted from 1050 B.C. to 256 B.C. Zhou rulers claimed the right to rule or the Mandate of Heaven.

The Right to Rule Zhou declared that their success proved they had heaven’s support Heaven was the highest for force nature Right to rule = mandate of heaven If a dynasty failed to act properly it lost this right and power would pass to a new dynasty To stay in power the rulers needed to act virtuously

Warring Period Battles ravaged the countryside Stronger states conquered weaker ones In 256 that last Zhou ruler was over thrown

Philosophers during Zhou China During the Zhou dynasty, two important Chinese philosophies developed. Confucianism and Daoism were two significant philosophies developed during the Zhou dynasty. Both philosophies stressed the importance of harmony as Zhou China experienced increased warfare.

Confucius was an important Chinese philosopher. He stressed the importance of order to achieve harmony. Confucius believed that if people knew and did what they should do, then harmony would occur.

It is believed that the founder of Daoism or Taoism was Lao Tzu. Daoism was a philosophy that stressed the importance of nature. By living naturally, harmony could be achieved.
