*the zhou dynasty*

“WU ZETIAN”

(624 – 705)

(assumed throne at age 66)

(died at age 81)

.

(Chinese: 周朝; pinyin: Zhōu cháo [ʈʂóu ʈʂʰǎu])

.

(the Zhou dynasty was a Chinese dynasty that followed the Shang dynasty and preceded the Qin dynasty)

.

The Zhou dynasty lasted longer than any other dynasty in Chinese history.

The military control of China by the royal house, surnamed Ji (Chinese: ), lasted initially from 1046 until 771 BC for a period known as the Western Zhou and the political sphere of influence it created continued well into Eastern Zhou for another 500 years.

This period of Chinese history produced what many consider the zenith of Chinese bronze-ware making.

(the dynasty also spans the period in which the written script evolved into its almost-modern form with the use of an archaic clerical script that emerged during the late Warring States period)
