Meet Confucius

Nobles and kings grew very independent and fought over land regardless of whom it belonged according to the law. This resulted in the suffering of many people of China during the Zhou Dynasty.

Confucius' teachings became honoured as the greatest teacher that had ever lived.

The Chinese law was then developed from his teachings later on.
