Whos the main character? Lu?
>>18326991I can see at least 3 Lu. Which one?
>>18326991What's up with the small states? Why are there so many?
>>18326998
>>18326999That still makes the Zhou dynasty roughly the size of Wilhelmine Germany or maybe 4th reich Germany. Nothing to scoff at.Ands anyway this doesn't answer my question. What are the little dot states? Are they fiefdoms the emperor concedes people he likes and cannot be legally dissolved so they exist nominally separate from the much larger states they are embedded into? What's up with them?
>>18327004They are city states i think
No, it's Qin, since it was the victor
How the hell do they know the specific borders from this era?
Qin, Jin and Chu.
>>18327047Shiji
>>18326991Why did Chu, the largest state, not simply eat the other states?
>>18328072They didnt into totalwar
>>18328072small population
>>18328072Low population density, Chu core territories were the Jianghan and Nanyang basins the rest is filled with barbarians nominally under Chu rule.
Chu is the main character, but this is one of those stories where the hero fails in the end, even if he's later given a second chance
>>18328072Qin had a political system much better suited at waging war.
