The 808-Year Curse: Why China’s Longest Dynasty Was Destined to Fail

Описание: Was the longest-reigning dynasty in Chinese history built on a prophecy or a structural flaw? In this video, we dive into the Zhou Dynasty (1046 BC – 256 BC) to uncover why its 808-year reign was actually a "downward parabola" of power.

We explore the legendary 808-step walk of King Wen and the sage Jiang Ziya, which supposedly set the mandate of heaven for eight centuries. But beyond the legend, we analyze the "Layered Contracting" (Fengjian) system, a brilliant administrative invention that used the Dunbar Number to overcome human biological limits, but eventually became a fatal "single-line reporting" trap.

Learn how the transition from "Hegemony" to "Annexation" turned a gentlemanly era of politics into a brutal survival of the fittest.
