To sort the choices into chronological order regarding the rule of the Zhou dynasty, it would help to know the specific events or choices you're referring to. However, I can provide a general outline of key events during the Zhou dynasty:
- Establishment of the Zhou Dynasty (c. 1046 BCE) - The Zhou dynasty comes to power after defeating the Shang dynasty.
- Mandate of Heaven (c. 1046 BCE) - The Zhou introduces the concept of the Mandate of Heaven to justify their rule, asserting that their authority derives from divine right.
- Western Zhou Period (c. 1046 - 771 BCE) - A period marked by a strong central government and consolidation of power.
- Decline of the Western Zhou (c. 771 BCE) - The dynasty experienced internal strife and external pressure leading to the sacking of the Zhou capital.
- Eastern Zhou Period (c. 771 - 256 BCE) - This period is divided into the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, characterized by feudal fragmentation and military conflicts.
- Fall of the Zhou Dynasty (c. 256 BCE) - The dynasty finally falls as the Qin state conquers the last remnants of Zhou power.
If you provide the specific choices, I can help you organize them in chronological order.
