Capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty: Luoyi (Chengzhou)

The Zhou Dynasty is divided into two periods: the Western Zhou Dynasty (165438+mid-20th century -77 1 year ago) and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770-256 years ago). The Western Zhou Dynasty was established by Ji Fa of Zhou Wuwang during the reign of Wang Wu, with Haojiang (Zhou Zong) as its capital and Luoyi (Chengzhou) (Luoyang, Henan) as its capital. ?

In 770 BC (the first year of Zhou Pingwang), Pingdong moved its capital to Luoyi (Chengzhou) (now Luoyang, Henan), and the Zhou Dynasty in this period was called the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. History books often refer to the Western and Eastern Zhou Dynasties as two weeks.
