Map of the Zhou Dynasty

The Western Zhou.(1022BC to 771BC)

The eastern Zhou.(771BC to 246BC)

Here are the maps of the Zhou Dynasty in the time that it was in power. From the time of 1022 BC to the year 771 BC was the western Zhou dynasty (the first map) this era was known as the era of peace. From the era of 771 BC to 246 BC was known as the Eastern Zhou (the second map) was known for all of its violence and wars. As you see the proclamation line of the Zhou dynasty is only about one-fourth of modern china now. China has a lot more area and a lot more city than during the Zhou dynasty. Some cities were left as memory of this dynasty.
