During this period, the Zhou royal authority over the various feudal states eroded as more and more dukes and marquesses obtained ''de facto'' regional autonomy, defying the king's court in [[Luoyang|Luoyi]] and waging wars amongst themselves. The gradual [[Partition of Jin]], one of the most powerful states, marked the end of the Spring and Autumn period and the beginning of the [[Warring States period]].
