The division of Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou was based on the changes in the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. The Western Zhou Dynasty lasted from 1046 B.C. to 771 B.C., and its capital was located in Haojing (now west of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province). In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, from 770 to 256 B.C., the capital was moved to Luoyi (now Luoyang City, Henan Province). Therefore, the Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou were divided according to the migration of the capital.
The Zhou Dynasty was divided into two periods, the Western Zhou and the Eastern Zhou. The Western Zhou Dynasty was from 1046 to 771 B.C., while the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was from 770 to 256 B.C.
King Wu conquered Zhou during the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The dividing line between Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou was the incident of King Ping of Zhou moving eastward. After King Ping of Zhou decided to move the capital to Luoyi, it marked the end of Western Zhou and the beginning of Eastern Zhou. This move not only had a major impact on the development of the Zhou royal family, but it also brought new opportunities and challenges to the vassal states. King Ping of Zhou's move to the east led to a major reshuffle between the Zhou royal family and the feudal lords, marking the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period.
The founder of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was King Ping of Zhou.
The Zhou Dynasty was divided into the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty because of the relocation of the capital. The capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Haojing (Xi'an, Shaanxi), was invaded by the Quanrong. King Ping of Zhou had no choice but to move the capital to Luoyang in the east, forming the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, the division of the Zhou Dynasty into the Eastern and Western Zhou Dynasties was mainly due to the different locations of the capital cities.
The founder of Western Zhou was King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa.
The extermination of the Western Zhou Dynasty was the Quan Rong.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was divided into the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was a historical novel in ancient China, but it was not purely a historical novel because it fabricated some historical events and characters. The novel " Records of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms " mainly narrated the political struggles and wars between the vassal states during the Spring and Autumn Period. It described the political, economic, and cultural aspects of the vassal states during the Spring and Autumn Period by describing the stories of the monarchs, princesses, ministers, and generals of each country. Although the novel Records of the Kingdoms of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty made up some historical events and characters, it had certain reference value for studying ancient Chinese history and culture.
There was no definite answer about the marching route of King Zhou of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, I don't know the route of King Zhou's army.
