This is a map of the Eastern Zhou dynasty during 770 BC - 221 BC. The black dashed border represents the modern Chinese and Mongolian border. The dark tan color stands for the extension of the Eastern Zhou dynasty from the Western Zhou dynasty. The Eastern Zhou dynasty was located by the northeastern corner of China and took up about half of the eastern side of China. The capital was Luoyi (not shown on the map) and was located where the modern city of Luoyang is now located. The Zhou dynasty capital location changed from Haojing to Louyi because when the Zhou kings from the Western period lost control to landlords, the Zhou dynasty went into its Eastern period.
