Talking about history: the first year of Chinese History

In ancient China, there were year dates. For example, in Qianlong xx years, the first reliable year of history occurred in the later part of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was called the first year of the Republic, in 841 BC, baidu records the following:

In 841 BC, the West Week entered a short republican period. This year is also the beginning of the year where China's history has a definite chronicle. The West Zhou republican period refers to the period from Zhou Li's departure from Beijing to before Zhou Xuan's throne, that is, the period from January 1, 841 to January 1, 828. On July 15, 841 (about July 15, 842), Zhou liwang fled to huozhou city, Shanxi Province, and then Zhou xuanwang went to the previous fourteen years (the first 841 ~ The first 828) regime. There are two statements: Zhao mugong and Zhou dinggong, both called the republican and the Republican. Zhou liwang Hu was arrogant and pampered with his father-in-law, rongyi Gong, and other ministers. Dr. Shi Liangfu once persuaded us to point out that rongyi Gong is a "patent" (the product of occupying the land and mountains), which will lead to great difficulties. Li Wang does not listen and will eventually take rongyi Gong as a secret, governing affairs. Ryanf warned the ruling Ministers not to "make a patent"; otherwise, the Chinese people would "be King of troubles", and there was no result. Chinese people are dissatisfied with the king, "slander the King", and the king is furious, the Witch of the Wei State monitors the Chinese people, and there are "slander" to kill, causing the princes to resent, and the Chinese people dare not talk about political affairs. Minister Zhao Mu gonghu entered and pointed out that "the anti-people interface is more waterproof than water", but Li Wang still does not listen. After three years, Chinese people fought angrily and attacked Li Wang. Li Wang fled to Huo County, Shanxi Province ). Prince Zhang hid in Zhao Mu's home and was surrounded by Chinese people. The prince had to go without difficulty when Zhao Gong replaced him with his son.
