zhoudynasty

The Zhou Dynasty was one of the first early Chinese kingdoms in 1027 BC. They created the idea of "the Mandate of Heaven", which gives the leading family the right to rule from God. The Zhou Dynasty also made a coin system and iron tools. During this time, three major religions developed in China as well. These were Confucism, Daoism, and Legalism.
