Answer 3

The Spring and Autumn Period (Chinese: 春秋時代; Hanyu Pinyin: Chūnqiū Shídài) represented an era in Chinese history between 722 BC and 481 BC. The period takes its name from the Spring and Autumn Annals, a chronicle of the period whose authorship was traditionally attributed to Confucius. During the Spring and Autumn Period, power became decentralized. This period was filled with battles and annexation of some 170 smaller states. The slow crumbling of nobility resulted in widespread literacy; increasing literacy encouraged freedom of thought and technological advancement. This era is followed by the Warring States Period.



China was not considered an empire at this time. It wasn't until the first emperor of China, Emperor Qin of the Qin Empire (秦), that China ended its feudal period. During the Zhou Dynasty, the center of power was, or was supposed to have been, in the hands of the king of the Zhou Dynasty. Note that king and emperor are not the same at all. As the king of Zhou, he enjoyed tributes from his nobilities who ruled regions inherited from their ancestors. These ancestors who were appointed nobilities or dukes of states were often officers who had achieved great deeds for the king of the ruling dynasty, in this case the Zhou Dynasty. The king of Zhou did not exactly have direct control over his tributary states. Instead, the collective loyalty of the dukes and nobilities made up the power of the king of Zhou. As loyalty deteriorated, so did the power of the king. The first emperor of China saw that the feudal system would eventually lead to a weak king and a chaotic situation. As a result, the empire that he built ruled China with a strong centralized institution that did not rely on the loyalty of local dukes.

Oh, oh no! Don't use babelfish! It butchers an otherwise useful language!



I don't read Chinese, but there are several groups online full of people who do. Go there and get someone who is REALLY learning the language, and ask them. With any luck, one of them will be kind enough to translate.



Just... do NOT use online translators... >_<
