With states like Qi and Jin vying for influence, leaders like Zichan rising to prominence, and strange omens hinting at disaster, this decade laid the groundwork for one of the most extraordinary events in Zhou history. Join us as we unravel the decade’s intrigue and ambition where a father steals his son's hottie bride, an evil minister schemes and schemes, while a revenge plan is hatched. Good stuff... don't miss it!Links:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Good_Earthhttps://pearlsbuck.org/visit-the-pearl-s-buck-house/house/https://sites.asiasociety.org/arts/asiangames/power01.htmlThis is a podcast by Dan Hörning and Bernie MaopolskiIf you like what we do you can support the Fan of History project on https://www.patreon.com/fanofhistoryContact information:E-mail: [email protected]://facebook.com/fanofhistoryhttps://twitter.com/danhorninghttps://www.instagram.com/dan_horning/ Support the show and listen ad-free to all of the episodes, including episode 1-87.
