Государство Джоу
К концу II тысячелетия до н.э. государство Джоу одержало победу над государством Шань (Инь). Процесс перерастания племенных союзов в царство Джоу - «золотой век» китайской истории.
Начальный этап Чжоуского царства нашел отражение в разнообразных указах, манифестах и декларациях, объединенных в «Великий закон об управлении», где излагаются основы бытия. К ним относятся пять стихий (elements) материальной природы (вода, огонь, земля, дерево, металл). Основы нравственного поведения составляют «пять дел»: как держать себя, как говорить, как видеть, как слышать и как думать.
В эпоху Джоу продолжалось совершенствование техники бронзового литья и городское строительство. В VIII в. до н.э. Западное Джоу распалось на ряд самостоятельных государств, давших название периоду «многоцарствия».
