Why can the Zhou Dynasty exist for 800 years while other dynasties can't?

As the third dynasty in the history of China, the Zhou Dynasty has a history of more than 800 years and is the longest dynasty in the world. So, why did it last so long? What are the advantages?

There are actually four reasons. First of all, after the Shang and Zhou Dynasties were destroyed by Zhou Wuwang, the Western Zhou Dynasty implemented a series of systems to consolidate the kingship. The more famous is the enfeoffment system based on patriarchal clan system. Under the restriction of this system, the relationship between the rights and obligations of the princes and the emperors was clear, and the implementation of the well-field system made the kingship more concentrated, and the Zhou Dynasty also achieved unprecedented prosperity.

The second is to formulate some ritual and music systems and rule the subjects with thoughts. However, there are many restrictions in this system, which should be observed by the emperor and the people. Moreover, this ideological rule is actually more horrible than other systems. You know, if you rule your mind, you will be held in your hand, and you can only let the ruler do whatever he wants.

Third, after the enfeoffment system was implemented, the rights of the Zhou Emperor were actually not great. Coupled with some moral constraints, the whole Zhou Dynasty was surrounded by princes and people, just like a circle, with the Zhou Dynasty as the center. This is more stable and difficult to disperse.

Fourth, the productivity of the Zhou Dynasty was relatively backward, and that of the imperial court was the highest. The times are constantly changing, one dynasty after another, the relationship between productive forces is constantly changing, and the conditions conducive to the survival of the Zhou Dynasty no longer exist. Later, the court failed to break the record of 800 years.

The Zhou Dynasty was also a group of cattle people, but it was a pity that later generations lived up to expectations, and there was a joke that Zhou Youwang's bonfire drama princes spread for thousands of years. It is also a kind of sorrow that the Zhou Dynasty was finally carved up by princes.
