Why is it called Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period?

Because people at that time were naive and did things according to climate, temperature and weather, there was a saying of "summer in winter". Basically, important things happened in the Spring and Autumn Period, such as the alliance of Kwai Qiu, the victory of the king of Chu and the alliance of soldiers.

The Warring States period was named after years of infighting among governors.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the rule of the Zhou Dynasty declined gradually, and the rise of five countries further shook the rule of the Zhou Dynasty. They were known as the "five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period" in history, namely Qi Henggong of Qi, Jin Wengong of Jin, Song Xianggong of Song, Qin Mugong of Qin and Chu Zhuangwang of Chu. In order to distinguish it from what happened in the past, they named what happened after this period "Spring and Autumn Period", the Warring States after the separation of the three countries.

culture

Culture is a reflection of politics and economy in a certain period. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, economic development promoted scientific and technological progress. Social change has contributed to the unprecedented activity of thought and the prosperity of literature and art.

trait

At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, local governors competed for supremacy, but the original situation of Zhou Wenhua's supremacy was gradually destroyed, and local cultures began to show a trend of "localization".

After the Warring States period, this situation became more obvious. In terms of word usage, it can be roughly divided into five major departments: Eastern Qi, Northeast Yan, Southern Chu, Northern Jin and Western Qin. The characters of each system are generally similar, with only a few differences, so there is not much problem in the exchange of documents.
