# Chinese History: 2 -- The Making of a Civilization

VHS

Produced by Wan-go Weng

Describes the conquest of Shang and the rule of Chou (c. 1100 to 475 B.C.). The Chou dynasty established a type of feudal system with a king as absolute ruler. In 770 B.C. the capital was moved eastward to protect it from invasion, dividing the dynasty into Western and Eastern Chou periods. This latter period witnessed the replacement of serfdom with land ownership, the advent of the Iron Age, and the search by Confucius for the deeper meaning of man and nature
